Arts Academies Produce A Little Innovation
After Paradox fixed the demand for Fine Art in 1.3.4 I felt there wasn’t any purpose left for Arts Academies. Services are trivial to overproduce and compete with Fine Art, making Arts Academies unprofitable and unwanted. Leaving Arts Academies with no real use beyond creating Academic pops which it isn’t even good at either.
In order to breathe some new life into them they now produce a little Innovation so that even if Fine Art doesn’t add anything to your economy you’ll still be getting something out of the building. (Arts Academies aren’t state-run so you might also want to subsidize them.)
To make Universities stand out more against the new Arts Academies they now also produce the tiniest amount of Education Access, very slightly increasing the literacy of pops in the state it’s built in and making the playstyle of spamming Universities more fun, as you’re now getting something out of your excess if you’re already a Technological frontrunner.
This in turn opens up a new playstyle for Arts Academies if you wish to keep literacy low. They’re now your main way to get Innovation while keeping literacy as low as possible. And because your literacy is low, you’ll benefit more from Technology Spread which any excess Innovation goes into and which Universities get less use out of. Making overbuilding of Arts Academies also not useless.
