About technology spread

[shivan]

I have played this game for 100s of hours but I still get fully get how spread of technology works.

I understand that it spreads by itself to adjacent provinces in the demense.

But how does the councillor mission actually work? The spymaster gets technology from a more advanced demense TO your capital, and sometimes nets you points.

But the mission to research technology, it spreads up the speed up spreading INTO that province if I understand it correctly? That means that if your capital is the most advanced province for miles, then its a waste to research technology in the capital right? You should try to research in adjacent provinces right?

Yes.

With the caveat that if you're leeching tech points from somewhere else with your spymaster, it can still make sense to have your other advisors in the capital.
