In the game's words

How to use it

The University is a unique Hausa building. It is available in the Exploration Age and provides a trickle of Influence or Experience. That rate increases when it is near Town Centers, Palaces, and Trading Posts. It can also research special technologies for varying Influence costs.

History

An often overlooked feature of medieval and early modern societies in West Africa is their rich tradition of storytelling and education. The griot, a keeper of oral tradition responsible for entertaining and educating his people with tales and epics, was a key figure among several rural and nomadic groups. Other urban societies established universities in the midst of their cities to educate future scholars in religious and secular subjects.
