Grand Public Academy
Academis of Culture is a building chain in Total War: Three Kingdoms. The building is unique to Kong Rong and serves to replace the normal Schools chain. The effects are wildly different from the normal chain, however. It provides local population growth, and migration from neighboring commanderies, public order, income from all sources, and a reduction in the construction of Agriculture buildings. The alternate path focuses less on population, generating income from culture.

Public Teachers (lvl 1)[]
Public Teachers
Those who are gifted with knowledge have a responsibility to share it. If righteousness, loyalty and harmony are the tools with which to build a better world, then all people should have the opportunity to wield them. In private schools and academies, the elite learn the classic texts to prepare them for great things, but the very exclusivity of education contradicts what is being taught. The hiring of public teachers, to pass on their knowledge to the less fortunate, can only benefit all, and will attract migrants seeking ways to better themselves and their futures.

Public School (lvl 2)[]
Public School
Education comes not only from what is taught, but from fellow students. A school teaches more than just curriculum; it teaches people how to live and work together and learn respect and co-operation. Each question raised by a student and answered by the tutor illuminates all present and prompts further mutual investigations. Education provides people with the knowledge to carve a greater future for themselves, and any settlement that can boast a public school will surely attract more people to it.

Public Academy (lvl 3)[]
Public Academy
Circumstance should not be a barrier to knowledge. The only way of amassing wisdom is through study of the past and the application of its lessons to the present and future. This knowledge was never meant to be restricted to the elite minority, and a public academy opens its doors to all for the education of the masses. Heaven does not discriminate as to who it bestows greatness upon and perhaps, if provided the opportunity, a person of talent will rise to fulfil their destiny for the benefit of all.

Public Academy Complex (lvl 4A)[]
Public Academy Complex
With wisdom comes understanding and harmony. Within the walls of this structure, 'new' classic texts have been dictated by elderly scholars old enough to remember the content of them before their destruction, and 'old' classic texts have been rediscovered from their hiding places in the homes of Confucius' descendants. Though from the past, their teachings can be re-contextualised to provide workable solutions to new problems. With knowledge comes harmony, leaving the population less to feel unhappy about and creating a more peaceful populace overal.

Grand Public Academy (lvl 5A)[]
Grand Public Academy
The same knowledge can be applied to rule countries or solve a dispute between neighbours. A grand academy boasts magnificent resources for would-be-scholars; both new and old classic texts are available for study to increase knowledge in the fields of culture, religion and strategy. Mastery of these texts is aided by companion commentaries by elderly scholars that illuminate important passages and readings in the light of modern times and values. Study of past knowledge and how to apply it to modern problems and dilemmas helps people to solve what ails them, leading to a happier population.

Academy of Poetry (lvl 4B)[]
Academy of Poetry
Poetry illuminates from all angles, broadening mind and spirit. Works in the Great Tradition inform, educate and rejuvenate the spirit. Through poetry's metaphors, thoughts are focused on things often overlooked, revealing to us what we know but fail to consider; to listen, not simply to hear. An academy brings poetry's subtle arts to the masses, enriching even the poorest souls with culture and heritage, so that they may document their own stories for future generations.

Grand Academy of Poetry (lvl 5B)[]
Grand Academy of Poetry
Civilisation is achieved when artistic expression is available to all. Blunt words may have a clarity, but can have a dulled impact on their audience, and ignored as mild weather. Sometimes, ideas — and even arguments — require poetry to pierce the indifference of others, to reach and inspire them to action. In times of strife, art and culture can easily be undervalued in the rush for power, but with it humanity loses sight of its reflection and risks plunging farther from heaven's light. A grand academy educates all in poetry, offering balance and expression to the masses.
