Found Universities Anywhere

Adds a new "Found University" major decision, on top of the already existing vanilla one. It does not replace the vanilla decision in order to maximize compatibility (should be compatible with all game versions), and to allow you to still found any of the four unique universities in the game.

In vanilla, you can only found a university in one of nine baronies in the entire map (as well as four unique named universities)! Almost all of which are in Europe.

This mod changes that by allowing you to found a university in any barony inside your realm! However, you can only do so in a barony that:

• has 40 or more development (like vanilla),
  
• does not have a special building slot already,
  
• is the county capital

Additionally, you must:

• be a king or an emperor,
  
• be at least Exalted among Men,
  
• have the scholar trait

This decision will only become visible when you are either a king or an emperor, and meet any one of the two following requirements:

• have fame level Exalted among Men or higher, OR
  
• own an eligible barony

So if you don't see the decision, make sure the above applies to you first. You will still need to meet the rest of the requirements before you can actually take the decision, however. The decision can then be taken again once every 50 years.

I felt this was a good balance, and will encourage playing tall, no matter where you are in the world.

Should be compatible with all mods, and fully save-game compatible. Feel free to enable and disable at any time. Any universities built with this mod will safely stay in your save game.

Highly recommend using with my other Balanced Buyable Building Slots mod!

This mod is currently localized in English, Español, Deutsch, Français, Русский, and 简体中文.

If you would like to help me localize it to your language (it's only six lines!), please let me know. Thanks!
(Note: found_universities_anywhere_decision_desc does not have to be translated. I will use the vanilla decision's localization for this key.)

Enjoy! :)
