What Scores on Science Day
After reset, Wednesday is Science Day in Alliance Duel.
A lot of players think Wednesday is mainly about badges, but the State 775 guidance highlights another major scoring opportunity:
Orange Intercity Trades
According to the supplied guidance:
ONE Orange Intercity Trade is worth about 1,900 badges.
It also states:
ONE Orange Intercity Trade is worth about 42 HOURS of research speedups.
And:
Four Orange Intercity Trades can beat 7,000 badges.
That makes Orange Intercity Trades one of the highest-value individual actions available on Wednesday.
Wednesday Rule
ON WEDNESDAY, ONLY ORANGE TRUCKS.
Don't waste your available Intercity Trades on lower-value trucks if you have the opportunity to obtain Orange.
Wednesday Priority
1. Orange Intercity Trades
Do every Orange Intercity Trade you can get. According to the State 775 guidance, nothing else comes close on a per-action basis.
2. Badges
Badges may be smaller individually, but their value comes from volume.
Save them throughout the week and use them Wednesday.
3. Research Speedups
Use the Research Speedups you've been holding.
4. Tech Power
Complete as much useful research as you can on Science Day.

ORANGE TRUCKS FIRST. THEN USE THE SCIENCE RESOURCES YOU'VE SAVED.
How to Prepare for Wednesday
Science Day is much stronger when you prepare throughout the week instead of starting Wednesday with nothing saved.
1. Save Every Badge
According to the State 775 guidance:
Save every badge you earn.
Don't spend them randomly during the week.
Their scoring value is intended for Wednesday Science Day.
2. Save Research Speedups
Every Research Speedup you collect should be considered part of your Wednesday stockpile.
Instead of immediately using them:
SAVE THEM FOR SCIENCE DAY.
3. Time Your Research
Be careful about starting and finishing major research on Tuesday.
The supplied guidance recommends timing research so the progress and speedups you intend to use land on Wednesday, rather than consuming them the day before.
4. Prepare Your Intercity Trades
Check your available Intercity Trades and prioritize:
ORANGE
The State 775 guidance places Orange Intercity Trades above badges and speedups in terms of value per action.
Wednesday Preparation Rule
SAVE BADGES. SAVE RESEARCH SPEEDUPS. HUNT ORANGE TRUCKS.
Wednesday Timing & Age of Science
Wednesday also provides an opportunity to combine Alliance Duel scoring with Full Preparedness.
Your Two Windows
According to the supplied State 775 guidance:
Full Preparedness runs Age of Science TWICE on Wednesday.
Each window lasts approximately four hours, according to the supplied material.
Your exact times depend on your local time.
Don't Convert the Time Yourself
There's an easier way.
Open:
EVENT CALENDAR
At the top, find:
LOCAL TIME
Tap it.
The calendar will switch to your local time, so you don't need to manually calculate event times.
Why the Windows Matter
Inside the Age of Science windows, the same eligible spending can contribute toward:
Alliance Duel Points
AND
Full Preparedness
That's the goal:
ONE ACTION → TWO REWARDS
Using those resources outside the overlapping windows may mean receiving only one set of progress when you could have worked toward both.
Wednesday Routine
1. Open the Event Calendar
2. Switch it to Local Time
3. Find both Age of Science windows
4. Prioritize Orange Intercity Trades
5. Spend saved Badges
6. Use saved Research Speedups
7. Complete research and build Tech Power
8. Watch your reward milestones

Wednesday Mistakes & Final Checklist
The Four Wednesday Mistakes
❌ Skipping Intercity Trades
Don't ignore Intercity Trades because you haven't learned how they work yet.
The supplied State 775 guidance identifies Orange Intercity Trades as Wednesday's biggest per-action opportunity.
❌ Spending Badges on Another Day
Save your badges.
❌ Burning Research Speedups on Monday
If they can wait, preserve them for Wednesday Science Day.
