Changing Tech Group

[bombshellboi]

I know in previous versions of EU2 changing tech group wasnt possible - at least i think thats how it was.
And i was under the impression one can use events to change a countries tech group using the "command = { type = tech which = latin }" command.

I have done this for Byzantium but it doesnt appear to work.

I have the latest beta - and the tech command is in the event scripting manual - and i dont seen an syntax errors in it.
And when i try to start the game the error that comes up is "Illegal Command Error" - so im lost now.

Should i just remove the changing of tech? And give Byzantium events to boost its investment in all techs instead?

It's command = { type = technology which = latin }

Technology instead of tech, I had the same problem heh.

That could be the problem. :rofl:
It says in the events scripting manual tech tho. Stupid...

Don't forget that to get orthodox tech you'll have to call it torthodox

Havard's site has the correct syntax. Note that the event_manual.txt file has not been modified in over two years so there are surely uncorrected bugs and new event engine features that are not listed there.

yeah, I printed out the event manual when I first started modding, and have it still, tho with countless scribbles, addenda and additions, notes and taxi-cab phone numbers. My own little orthodox Paradox Bible (Protestantised) :rofl:

P.S. yes that tech(nology) command scunnered me for weeks, until I went through some of paradox's events and found one that changed tech. (cant remember what event tho o ). Still, better for Paradox to make an event manual than not (cough cough - can YOU spot the diliberate mistakes, they will be saying )

yours, again
