This is a mod that I created to add in an education system that was not only fun, but as realistic, complete, and formed enough to really add a dimension to the gameplay. This mod is a stand alone mod on its own. It is used in its own folder, and will not affect any other M2TW files. This mod can be integrated with any other mod if the right steps are taken.
Anyone in the modding community are welcome to use this mod, as long as they let me know before hand, and give me credit for my work.

How it all Works
When a new character comes of age, the player has ~10 turns to send him to either a city or a castle to take advantage of the extra perks of having a formal education. In this mod, a character comes of age at 14 instead of 16.
Buildings
________________Military______________________________________Civil
Castle Buildings (upgrade to one another)
--Castle College~~~~~~~~~buildable at wooden_castle level
--Castle University~~~~~~~buildable at castle level
--Large Castle University~~~buildable at fortress level
City Buildings (upgrade to one another)
--City College~~~~~~~~~~~buildable at large_town level
--City University~~~~~~~~~buildable at city level
--Large City University~~~~~buildable at large_city level
If you want to train a named character for warfare, then send him to a Castle with one of the education buildings and he will be trained. If you want him to be a good governor, send him to a city with an education building.
Degree Plans
The degree plans show up separately from each other. if u get a masters in Military Science, the Bachelor's degree and its benefits still show up, so the total will be combined.
-Bachelors of Military Science: takes 4 turns, and requires atleast a Castle College in the settlement. This degree gives some small trait increases like command, hitpoints, and morale.
-Masters of Military Science: takes 2 more turns, and requires atleast a Castle University in the settlement, plus a Bachelors Degree. This degree stacks on an extra bonus to the Bachelors Degree.
-Doctorate of Military Science: takes 2 more turns, and requires the Large Castle University in the settlement, plus the Masters Degree. This degree adds further bonuses to the Masters and Bachelors Degrees.
=======================================================
-Bachelors of Administration: takes 4 turns, and requires atleast a City College in the settlement. This degree gives some small trait increases like law, order, and health bonuses.
-Masters of Administration: takes 2 more turns, and requires atleast a City University in the settlement, plus a Bachelors Degree. This degree stacks on an extra bonus to the Bachelors Degree.
-Doctorate of Administration: takes 2 more turns, and requires the Large City University in the settlement, plus the Masters Degree. This degree adds further bonuses to the Masters and Bachelors Degrees.
