Hi all!

I've run into a little difficulty while playing MTW: I am not perfectly sure what some buildings are good for, why would I need to build them?

The list is as follows:
University
College of surgeons
Military Academy

Do these give some kind of bonuses? Or unlock new troops, or give ranks? :help:

I'd be glad if someone could help me, thank you!

Hi kael123, and welcome to the .Org! ~:wave:

If I remember correctly, the University does not offer any benefits, but it is a prerequisite for the College of Surgeons and Military Academy for Catholic and Orthodox factions (the Grand Mosque is the prereq for Muslims). It does not unlock any troops.

The College of Surgeons offers a 40% bonus to happiness in the province it is built in, and supposedly also increases the lifespan of your generals and family members.

The Military Academy will make units trained in the province Disciplined. The actual mechanics of this upgrade is unclear, but generally this will make your troops easier to control and harder to rout. If you are playing as the Turks, the Military Academy is necessary for the 3 types of Janissary units, some of the best in the game.

You're most welcome here in the Mail Hall Kael123,

As to the buildings, we'll unless you're the Turks, then their only real benefit is:

They look nice. :shrug:

Doesn't at least one of those buildings generate another "title" piece you can give to a unit.

Don't think so. IIRC, titles come from the Royal Palace, Constable's Palace, Marshal's Palace, Chancellery, Admiralty, and Cathedral.

Hi people,

Drone remembers correct... In raw MTW, those six are the only ones that grants any title.
Things might and can be diffrent in altered versions of MTW however. :wink2:
