MILITARY ACADEMY

military academy puts ordinary soldiers through a grueling program of advanced training. All soldiers (but not wall guards) who graduate from the barracks attend the military academy, if one is operating in your city. This prolongs their training somewhat, but improves the quality of the soldiers who graduate. The training is so good that it has a 100 percent pass record.

One advanced troop formation is only available to legions who were trained in the military academy. (See Legionaries below for more information ) .

If your city's enemies are just primitive barbarians or weaker formal armies, normal barracks-trained troops are probably all you'll need for victory. If there's a chance that you will face better equipped and organized enemies, give your soldiers the advantages of military academy training.
