Or doctors could be traveling the rural surroundings, checking up on people, giving inoculations (later in the time period), etc. - a medical school would definitely have an impact on more than just its location. And these schools shouldn't be that common either, I'd say, so it would make sense for them to have a radius of influence.
Having read up on them briefly, they seem far closer to the English House of Lords appellate jurisdiction. Lords who were elected by other lords to hear cases, then a "supreme court" in the modern sense. It is interesting though, and makes me wonder whether the PLC had a more common law system than the civil law system that governs that area today.
Yes, and such area of effect being affected by things such as control and time to travel between locations could tie it nicely with other systems already in place.
I wonder if there is already a "radius" calculation in the game that scopes to all locations within a certain distance of the original location. If not, I think that would make sense as something that buildings can make use of.
Or if giving them radius is too much of a hassle programing-wise, they could give benefits to the province they are in. (They could have a location benefit they are in, and a smaller benefit for the whole province)
Yeah, for something like this building, a province effect makes sense, but I was also taking into account that there could be buildings that affect an even bigger radius which can be scaled by infrastructure.
On the other hand, the big downside to buildings affecting more than their location is that it would be very hard to show to the player. You'd have to be limited to one building per province, for example, to make it easy to see where you have a building's effects active, so you don't build multiple overlapping ones.
Or alternatively, if these are town locked buildings, having the countryside not benefit whatsoever of advancements in the nearby city also feels odd.
ROE are a thing in numerous strategy games, they could develop a special map mode for it.

What happens to capital buildings (building which have their effect only when they are located in the capital) when country has it's capital moved? Do they stay there and become deactivated, or do they move with the capital?
Thanks for your reply!
I would think that the capital would have higher development, which increases the soft cap, so that might help some. But I hope the capital does get a bonus to the cap in addition to this.
Masonry made from wood is weird, I get that it's to include things like planks so that you don't need to have a separate good, but in that case you should probably show it on the icon or by changing its name to something like "building materials"
I don't think this is to represent other materials. Johan did state 'or'. I believe it is difference production methods to make 'bricks' one is hewn stone, one is clay bricks, and the last is 'adobe' or mud and plant materials.
