I don't understand why bug reports keep getting closed for this issue. It's clearly an oversight. Warrior Priests, Engineers, and Wizards have recruit rank bonuses attached to their recruitment buildings but Lords, Captains, & Witch Hunters don't. 

How is this intended gameplay? How is potentially recruiting level 1 Lords/Captains/Witch Hunters 50/100/150 turns into a campaign fun? I assume the issue is that Captain & Witch Hunter recruitment buildings don't have a tier IV or V to add these so it was missed during the ToD Empire reworks.

Edit: I forgot that Warrior Priests are only getting a local recruitment rank increase from their tier III building not a global one like Wizards and Engineers. Suggestions have been modified. 

I have 2 suggestions for this, either should work:

1) Simply reduce the global recruitment rank bonus from the traditional +2 to +1 and add it to the tier III Captain and Witch Hunter recruitment buildings. Change the tier III Warrior Priests +2 local recruitment rank to +1 global. Lords could have their global recruitment bonus tied to the settlement chain, for example +1 when reaching tier V. Alternatively;

2) Bring back the old Academy building and make it provide global recruitment rank bonuses to Lords, Captains, and Witch Hunters. Maybe a return of a local +1 recruitment rank bonus for infantry as well with the loss of the blacksmith chain. Bring back the old tier IV Cathedral of Sigmar building with a +2 global recruitment rank bonus for Warrior Priests.

Good point, I forgot that Warrior Priests while getting recruitment rank bonuses on the tier III building don't get a global bonus like Engineers and Wizards do (at least that's what the tool tip says). So re-adding the tier IV sigmar building would be good.

I agree, Imperial Academy should return.

Bring back the academy...
