The University is the civic building that gathers 
Knowledge, a basic resource that becomes increasingly important as the game advances. It becomes available in the 
Classical Age, and, as with most buildings, it can only be built within a city's borders, and only one is allowed per city.
A University generates 10 Knowledge per 30 seconds by itself. To increase Knowledge production, Scholars can be created at the cost of 
Wealth. Each University can employ up to seven Scholars.
Initially, each Scholar generates +5 Knowledge. This gather rate can be increased by researching the appropriate technologies at the University, which become available as new 
Ages ares reached and 
Science Research is carried out at a Library.

- Note:
Knowledge generated is calculated per 30 seconds from a University with seven Scholars, including Knowledge production from the building itself.
Completing a University yields a one-time bonus of 25 Knowledge.
Nation powers[]
- The American Power of Innovation: Receive a free Scholar when completing a new University, as long as the population limit allows for it.
- The Greek Power of Philosophy: May build Universities and generate Knowledge from the Ancient Age on. They also start with a free University.
- The German Power of Industry: Receive 50 Knowledge when completing a University.
- The Indian Power of Majesty: Universities do not rise in cost.
- The Maya Power of Architecture: Universities have +25% hit points, are built 20% faster and costs 25% less Timber.
Miscellaneous[]
- Universities have an Eject button which allows to eject all Scholars from the University. Outside of an University, Scholars can be ordered to pick up arms and become Militia/Minutemen/Partisans or to garrison a different University. While not working at a University, Scholars generate no Knowledge. Note that after a few seconds Scholars will return to the University they were ejected from, the idle time can be set in the options.
- Universities have the Infinite Queue option: Press V, then Q to have the University constantly create new scholars as long as the nation's Wealth and Population Limit allows for it and as there are still open slots to fill.
