How can I trick the game to spawn Institutions where you want them to?
I've often read that It is technically possible for Institutions to spawn anywhere and that it is mostly a mix of chance and luck.

two of them that will always spawn in the same spot no matter what you do tricking the system will be very hard but having more advanced tech does help it.

Renaissance always spawns in Italy. To guarrentee a spawn you would need to own all of Italy by 1500.
Colonialism can spawn anywhere. Only spawns 100% within your lands if you are the only colonizer.
Printing Press always spawns in Europe. For 100% spawn you'd need to own all of Germany and make sure there is no Protestants/Reformed other than you.
Global Trade always spawns in the richest trade node in the game. This one is simple, just be the strongest trade power in the richest node in the game.
Manufactories can spawn anywhere. You'd need to be the only nation in the game with manufactories.
Enlightentment can spawn anywhere. You'd need to be the only nation in the game with Universities and there can be no republics other than you.

The only ones of these that's consistent is Global Trade. The others are either practically impossible or based heavily on luck.

Printing press can spawn in a colonial nation that is of german culture and protestant, just had it happen in my netherlands game....

Rennesciance spawns after 1450 not 1500. 1500 is Colonialism.



Printing Press can spawn anywhere that is in North or South Germany OR is Protestant/Reformed. While it's heavily biased to spawn in central Europe, unlike Renaissance it CAN spawn somewhere else.

It's possible to spawn it as Kongo if you meet Portugal ASAP to trigger the event to switch to catholic and switch to protestantism quickly if it's close to when Printing Press appears.

Japan can also do it but it's much harder as you need to colony hop until you come into contact with Christians so those events can start happening.

However it is rare to happen because of the sheer number of other nations that also meet the requirement that could successfully roll the spawn point. (unless Austria went nuts and ate all of germany...in which case then you've got a pretty good chance of it)
