== Strategy ==
The Basilikoi Paides provides all the same benefits as a Barracks, but it also affects Hetairoi and yields equal to 25% of a unit's cost when it is trained. That's already better than the on offer from Campus Research Grants, aside from the lack of points. Still, while there are relatively few ways to boost towards district projects (the main one being Hong Kong's Suzerainty bonus), there are quite a lot of powerful boosts to military unit production. Here are some key examples:
* The God of the Forge pantheon offers +25% towards Ancient and Classical Era units.
* The Great Admirals Themistocles and Chester Nimitz grant +20% towards naval ranged and naval raider units respectively when retired.
* The Statue of Zeus offers 50% more towards anti-cavalry units.
* Agoge, Feudal Contract, Grande Armée and Military First all offer +50% towards melee, ranged and anti-cavalry units of specific Eras.
* Strategic Air Force offers +50% towards all air units.
* Maritime Industries, Press Gangs and International Waters all offer +100% towards all naval units except Aircraft Carriers. Letters of Marque offers an additional +100% towards naval raider units.
* Patriotic War offers +100% towards the Supply Convoy, Observation Balloon, Anti-Air Gun, Drone, and Mobile SAM.
* Militaristic city-states grant bonuses towards units in certain buildings.
* The Warlord's Throne grants +20% towards all military units for 5 turns after capturing an enemy city.
* The To Arms! Dedication grants +15% towards all military units during the Age.
* Adopting Fascism grants +50% towards all military units.
For example, consider training a Quadrireme in a city with a Basilikoi Paides. If you slot Maritime Industries, grab God of the Forge, and recruit Themistocles, you'll have an additive 145% bonus toward it, which equates to 145% more for your . This Quadrireme will net you 73.5 - almost half of a Classical Era technology, and 61.25 per 100 , a little more than 4 times more than Campus Research Grants!
This offers Macedon an odd but powerful tool granting potentially tremendous output without too much investment in scientific infrastructure at all. The same focus that this strategy requires is, incidentally, also needed to get a quick Spaceport and rapidly finish your space missions to win a Science Victory. Or you could use your advanced technology to dominate even faster - who could blame you?
Note that the Basilikoi Paides only grants upon units being produced. Purchasing, either with or , does not count.
