Hello there ! I played EB for two months now and since its very different from RTW i have this silly question : in EB what are schools for ? It is the same as in RTW like bonus in taxes or does it helps in charcater development ? can it help with recruted generals as well?
I have looked every were on the internet and i found nothing . In one post there was mention of a manual for EB. This ideea has been abandoned ?
Thanks so much

Schools give family members certain traits and retinues, that's about it I think. Welcome to the .org btw. :P

yeah you get neat traits and Anccilaries from schools. I think Client rulers etc also profit from them.

Personally I often build one maximum level school in one of my core provinces and send all my youngsters there when they come of age. and distant boring spots that need a good governor when I have spare mnai^^.

If you ever are the KH and you keep you capital at Sparte build a huge school there so they can become strong and smart.

I do the same. Build the highest level school in Rome and all FMs that come of age spend 4 years in Rome (16-20 y.o), I take them out when their 20 and move them around the empire.

personally I prefer to build the Big Academy in athens and Divide generals and governors at the start. Otherwise your Athenians and Rhodians are likely to get a lot of bad traits due to Government and failing the Agoge.
I do build a school in sparta at some point tho, can't be too bad to have generals that are able to govern a civy in times of need.

I think I even sent Sogdians to the Agoge at Sparte with the Seleukids. Never had someone to fail it, only to complete and a few to excell.

In this campaign I have central cities of study: Antiocheia, Seleukeia and Alexandreia for the center. Baktra for the east and Athens for the west. If they are within sailing range of the Agoge, I take them there first, this city also has a Megale School.

By the way, welcome to the forums!
