Thank you Caesar15 i saw your mod and figured i give it a try i guess i'm like everyone else buying time till the new update comes Cheers Mate

I'll look into it, thanks for letting me know. Btw, this mod is basically replaced by the Ultra Historical Research and Education mod, so I probably won't be updating it too much.

Tried playing the game once it subscribed it states some files are missing durning launch

What needs updating @Wicked?

Please update

Nice mod, in vanilla you can usually finish the entire tech tree before the turn of the century.

Bad news all, this doesn’t work with the new patch. I’ll try to update it later tonight.

No problem, glad there was improvement :D

Thanks for the latest update - my recent game as Japan was (a little) unrealistically difficult due to the previous settings.

Just made an update, check out the description or change notes for details.

@Stubb On a second lookthrough, I can see there's actually some conflicts. He changes universities production methods to make the AI value them more. I'm actually going to push out a new update today that changes a few things, one of which might be reverting universities back to normal. This would also have the effect of removing the conflict with AroAI.

@Karnich As far as I know, game rules don't work like that, you can only apply modifiers to them.

@donblas :D

@Stubb It should be, I'm not really sure what he changed but it doesn't like anything directly conflicts. He has an interesting way of handling research that I don't fully understand.

@Ethan Ideally yeah.

@Ethan not when I play them.

I have this mod and another one, should prevent great qing from rapidly modernizing and spiraling out of control.

Any idea how this works with AroAI's new changes to universities?

This mod is amazing, thank you for all of the hard work.

would it be possible to get a game option that equalizes all nations tech trees at the start?

Well the thing is @WASP is that universities represent the cutting edge, while tech spread represents keeping with the times. Universities are supposed to get you the latest tech ahead of your enemies. That's what innovation is. Tech spread is totally separate. An educated and wealthy population keeps you from being behind, yes, but you need a well funded university system to remain on the cutting edge, and IMO that makes sense. And if your people are poor and illiterate, you would need to have double, or even triple the universities just to stay ahead. Really just represents how much research is done by government v.s private actors.

Thanks, I decided to subscribe after seeing v.5 changes. Base should be low, isolation should be even lower, universities shouldn't be too high because unis are not innovation factories and literacy tech spread should be high. Most efficient way to have high tech progress should be by keeping a wealthy and highly educated population. Universities shouldn't be tech factories.

Of course!

@Caesar15 Thank you for the reply and your work!

And that's with the AI mod

@Stubb The great powers are good at building universities, but not the other ones.

Sounds very promising. Before I add it for my next run (I finished the tech tree in 1922 as Persia for my last one), would anyone mind letting me know how the AI does with this mod? I could see the AI being bad at building universities. I'm also going to use Anbeed's AI mod for my next run. Thank you!

I increased the cap and decreased the base innovation, also increased university output. So it should be possible to research late game techs now, and without breaking the bank.

@Stardust Good idea, universities seem pretty weak, I'll look into it.

If you're hitting your cap, I'll go ahead and revert some of the cap changes. Do you think you'd be able to be on schedule with a 25% increase, or more like a 50%?

@dr_AllCOM3, how's your literacy rate? Do you have enough universities to be hitting your innovation cap?

Tech is too slow with v4. I didn't have a single tier 5 tech in 1930.

Hey @Ceasar15, great mod. After the base innovation change the pace can be good. Have you think about decrease it more maybe and buff Universities? What do you think about it?

Gotcha, I'll play around with it a little bit and see if it's still too fast for them.

It's your mod so it's your call, but I wasn't only thinking of Japan, rather all the "unrecognised" nations which due to the base innovation rate of 50 have an unrealistically easy time catching up with the Western nations.

@Stardust Thanks :) Hope you like it.

Don’t get me wrong it’s still much slower, especially with the -40% tech spread from the isolation law. Does it still seem too fast from your POV? I’m open to adjusting it.

"It was a little too grating to be an isolated country like Japan." Isn't it supposed to be? Maybe you can compromise by setting base innovation to 35 or 40.

Great catch, will try in my next campaign,

Just a little bit haha. Let me know you how like it and if it needs to be adjusted. I don't want to make it to where tech is too hard after all.

Thx for your work. I had the same feeling xD Trenchinf... in 1875 is to OP xD
