Assembly

The University is a non-military building whose sole purprose is to generate Knowledge, which is required to research most Library technologies and to build gunpower weapons and some wonders. It can be built once per City. However, like the University of the vanilla version of Rise of Nations, the Assembly may be built only once you have researched the Heroic Age.

To create Knowledge, draft Scholars at the University. Each University constructed may hold as many as 7 Scholars at a time.

Pedagogics

The four tiers of Pedagogics research are spread out amongst 2 different buildings, and the Assembly hosts the final three. While the first two are accessible from the House of Worship, the last two require Legalism and Republic before you can go forward and research them.
