A thought on Education

[zeeter]

I had this idea years ago when trying to write a civilization type game: Colleges with focuses.

A city can build a college, but it needs to have one focus, such as economics, military, science, or a number of other topic. The college will provide a nominal amount of points for all focuses, but will provide the most towards its chosen focus.

Later, a college can be upgraded to a University, which will provide for up to three focuses.

There can also be a wonder, such as Oxford University, that provides equal points for all focuses.

I remember a mod for Civ4 having something like this - a college of law, college of medicine, etc. I like the idea, could definitely see it being incorporated in official content.

I like that idea. It can also be weaved into leader/civ abilities. E.g. Sparta having a bonus for military focus.
