Campaign version[]
Because the original four campaigns have not been rebalanced since the release of the game, The Royal Institute does not have the same effect in The Hundred Years War. There, it has the same influence as a French Keep, but applying to unit upgrades as well. That is, it has an 8 x 8 influence area, and Archery Ranges and Stables in its influence have both their unit cost and unit upgrade cost decreased by 20%. The Royal Institute can also garrison three Relics.
