Cannot build Academy with Great Scientist

[mrskrlj]

I remember in the past I used to be able to build academies with great scientists. In my current game however I can't seem to build one.

I've searched the forums and in-game civilopedia and can't figure out what is required (besides the Great Scientist, of course) to build the academy in a city. Were they removed from the game in BtS?

I'm playing the latest BtS Steam version.

I can't remember, do you need to have a library present in the city?

I cannot think of any reason why you shouldn't be able to do this...
Is there already an academy in the city?

 

[Fippy]

No library needed, ofc you would rarely think about an academy in a city with no library but it's possible without.
(tested it, yup no restrictions..can be built in a size 1 city with no buildings)

As Krikav said, the only reason I can think of why you can't build it because there is one already.

Yep, you can only build one academy per city, but you can build academies in any city - no limit there. Although you really only need one in your capital.

Thanks for confirming!

Apparently, it must have to do with the mod I'm using. I just tried unloading it and tested in World Builder and it works again. Relief.

At least I know my next step to troubleshoot... I combined several mods years ago to suit my play, and only now just noticed that I can't build academies! Why would anyone want to turn that off? *shrug*

Edit: Turns out I messed up the great scientist (GS) in CIV4UnitInfos.xml. I had removed and replaced Aluminum Corp. (also built by GS) with my Petroleum Corp. and somehow also messed up the BUILDING_ACADEMY entry. Fixed now.

Now we also know how to turn off the academy, should anyone else want to do it
