[Enlightenment] Education & Research Expansion
"Education is the foundation of a nation’s future."
Welcome to Enlightenment: Education & Research Expansion!
This mod aims to deepen the education and research systems in Victoria 3. By introducing basic education, vocational training, research focus, and dynamic building caps, it brings a more strategic and historically immersive modernization experience to your nation!
I. Core Features:
1. Brand New Educational Buildings: Primary & Secondary Schools and Vocational Schools
A nation’s development cannot rely solely on elites in their ivory towers! This mod adds two foundational education buildings:
Primary & Secondary Schools: Popularizes basic education and drastically increases literacy among the lower strata, laying the demographic foundation for your nation’s industrialization.
Vocational Schools: Focuses on cultivating technical talent. It accelerates the acquisition of Qualifications for Machinists, Engineers, and other professions, acting as the core engine for mid-to-late game industrialization.
2. Specialized University Research Focuses
Universities are no longer monotonous innovation-generating machines. This mod introduces new Production Methods for Research Focuses.
You can adjust the academic priority of your universities based on your nation’s current strategic needs (e.g., leaning towards Humanities & Social Sciences, Military & Defense, or Science & Engineering), making your climb up the technology tree much more strategic!
3. Dynamic Building Caps & Institution Synergy
Universities, Primary & Secondary Schools, and Vocational Schools now have a base building limit.
How do you expand? You must push for political reforms and upgrade your nation’s "Education Institution" level to unlock higher building caps. This makes education laws and institutions more crucial than ever, tightly intertwining politics with national development.
4. To improve the gameplay experience, this mod adds education-related ideologies to the Confucian Scholars Interest Group.
II. Compatibility
Save Game Compatibility: A NEW SAVE is highly recommended for the best experience (adding this mid-game may cause anomalies with existing building data).
Mod Compatibility: This mod modifies the underlying logic of vanilla universities, the Qing Scholar-Officials Interest Group, and Education Institutions. Conflicts may occur with major overhaul mods. It is highly recommended to place this mod at the bottom of your playset load order.
Supported Languages: Simplified Chinese & English. (If you are willing to provide translations for other languages, please let me know in the comments!)
