Can't build Grand Mosque/Military Academy

[Hurin_Rules]

I'm playing a Turkish SP and can't seem to build a Grand Mosque or a Military academy. I have built a fortress and a mosque, but Grand Mosque does not appear in my building options. This is very odd, since I've already built one Grand Mosque and Military Academy in Constantinople. But for some reason it won't let me build Grand Mosques anywhere else. This is really crippling me, because I can't build Janissaries

Can anyone help me? I can't figure out if its a bug or if its just something I'm not doing.

Thanks very much to anyone who can help.

Cheers

I believe that you are only supposed to build one of each of those in all of your provinces put together, much like a cathedral for the catholics. Each faction only gets one.

Ahhhhhh.... that must be it. Thanks

If you want to build mulitple Grand Mosques or Cathedrals (as an infidel faction), then just open up the building file in wordpad (or similar) and delete the word UNIQUE from the entries for Grand Mosques and Cathedrals.

Then you can build as many as you like AND build the follow up buildings. This is handy for the Turks as you can now build mulitple Military Acadamies and have Janissary troops produced from more than one spot.

This is always struck me as an unrealistic limitation anyway - if I control half of Europe surely I can have more than one culturally and militarily significant Cathedral? Both structures give a very nice +3 morale bonus - definitely worth the cash and time to build even if you aren't playing as the Turks.

Got love that JHI.

Or, so I have read, you can tear down the grand mosque which then allows you to continue training Janissaries in that province and build another grand mosque elsewhere. When the new one is finished you have two provinces able to produce Janissaries.

Although I doubt that was the developers' intention.

So, should it please you to play the game with the balance sought by them, you might just stick to one.

Thanks for the advice. I'm sticking to one MA right now, as it seems a bit overbalancing to have Janissaries everywhere.

I'm pretty sure you can't do that anymore if you are using patch v.1.1. If you tear down (or it gets destroyed by enemy) a unique building I think you can only rebuild it in the same province as it was first built. Not 100% sure though.
