Nice list Mr. French ~:thumb:
Are you sure that the Scots get castle academia in vanilla? ~:confused:
In my opinion some of those buildings are of little use. If I recall the Portuquese do not even get any units from military academy. I have no hope of seeing printers in my games as the event comes so late...
One more thing... Where is admiralty building? The Danes, English and Portuquese get it.

Cheers, Guru

Ah, you're right, forgot the admiralty. Thanks for reminding me !

And yes, I'm pretty sure the Scots get the academia, I've just rechecked to make sure I wasn't using LTC's file when making the list.
And the military academy is good even for Portuguese, because they fork out StrategicSkill and ancillaries to governors spending time there, which is doubly good : (a) a passing fighter can become even better, (b) a pure governor who spent all his life making sure taxes are Very High in the region will have at least a few stars in case of invasion and siege.
