Hi there, great mod! But i have one issue: when i was testing mod with Egypt, i pressed to found a third philosophic school in Alexandria and nothing happened. In Seleucids Babylon same even for the first school. Is it bug of 2.0+ version, or i dont get how this mechanics work? In case for Seleucids problem is the distance between fraction with the required character? But if that is correct what was the propblem with Egypt? Same for Macedonia, although there were different list of schools.

Many thanks for your work on this mod. Is it included in the overhaul mod "Invictus"?

NOT IRONMAN COMPATIBLE.
Not sure how to remove the tag. My apologies.

Why is this marked as Ironman Compatible?

@mezner there should be a 'found philosophy school' decision if you are Hellenic or without diplomatic range of Athens.

I'm having trouble understanding how to activate or use this mods features. Is it automatic?

i tested, not ironman compat

This is a cracking piece of work, and a much appreciated dose of flavour for the Hellenistic world. Do you need any testers for the forthcoming (and enormous) Innovation tree update? I'd be happy to play a full campaign and dive into the new techs, if it would be helpful data for your balancing. At any rate, thanks very much indeed for this mod.

The new school requirements have been changed to 1 academy and 1 library per school level.

@M A R U S H U thanks for the heads up; I did not consider those types of changes and will update that aspect soon. Thanks for the recommendation.

@B. Nikephoras This is an amazing mod! However, what I noticed was when creating new schools you'd need 3, 6, and 9 academies in the same territory. However, I believe since 2.0, you can only have 3 academies per territory.

I made a sort of iffy fix myself as I'm undergoing a Greek campaign atm by increasing the cost to 600 and going with 1, 2, 3 academies alongside 1, 2, 3 libraries respectively. But you are the creator so I suppose you'd have a better fix than what I currently have.

well its starts up fine but i just got my first event 15 years or so into the run. the options said something like hometown_philosopher_a and _b dont recall the exact wording.

This mod should be functional for 2.0+. I have not played with it on yet, but I was able to start a new game with it on and no crashes. If the features described in it do not appear through your playthrough, let me know. @DarkLegion @EpirusWarriorμολὼνλαβέ

Can you update it whenever you got a chance? Thanks in advance.
Regards.

update

Another great mod. Thank you.
Regards.

@theodosius yes, see the forum link above where I post my upcoming ideas for updates.

is this still being worked on or updated?

okay will do, thanks

@rusereuse21 There should be an event that allows philosophers to come to nations outside of the Greek world, but I could add more flavor geared towards Roman players; thanks for the idea! If you have specific suggestions about where you would like the mod to go, please add to the discussion section here or go to the forum link!

what about roman players, any future mods?

I've posted an update asking for feedback on which steps the mod should take next.
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/mod-the-five-schools-philosophy.1409251/post-26898666

Players should now be able to found a school outside of the capital and there is also a randomized event for a hometown philosopher to return and teach so that Hellenic nations far from Greece can access the features.

@B.Nikephoras Seleukeia Megale,Passaron ,Sparta ,Alexandreia Limen ,Alexandreia Baktriane

Exactly! Perhaps the most noteworthy philosophers won't be available in the western part of the Mediterranean, but maybe something like "Hire local philosopher" could be lore-friendly, so to speak.

@[Army of Two] AXIS : The model is fantastic and was built by a collaborator (MattTheLegoman). He has mentioned building more models in the future and I'm sure that the popularity of this mod would go a long way in encouraging their development.

@Destroy 99 : Yes and I will add before removing the Alpha tag off the mod. It was just easier to script for the capital. However, I have to script the exact location of the 3D model for each city and this process can be tedious. So if you have any cities in mind which you see as a potential philosophy site, it would be helpful to list them here or in the suggestion discussion thread.

@h3lp3r A searching feature that would be fairly easy to add and I may do so. It's currently scripted so that you have to be in diplomatic range of nations that have philosophers (which at start is mostly Athens). I had in mind that Rome players would have to move into Macedonia to engage with it more as this happened historically, but I did not realize that this would cut off Greek states in the Western Med. from Greek philosophy. I'll think on how to get around this.

Wow great mod! Love that 3d model, which a temple 3d model was attached to great temples too, maybe a future mod?

it's possible to found a school in a city that isn't your capital?

Would it perhaps be possible to invite a scholar of a certain school? I played Emporion recently and never really had any contact with the mod except for the starting pop-up.

I think that theoretically, you could establish a Stoic school as soon as you meet the requirements for the new school decision.
Historically, I'm not sure if Greek philosophy came to be pervasive in Roman life until about 80 years from the start date.

Such an amazing little game inserted into the game!
Love it so far, could you perhaps get stoicism to Rome earlier on?
