Ok , so I created roman empire and used all the events like end the schism and such.My capital is Rome and I have Italy under control of course.Now why,just why everone in Europe which is Orthodox(since christianity is united) is Eastern tech?
I suppose it´s must be bug or it´s scripted that everyone orthodox is Eastern tech?
Or is it because I used sunset invasion DLC?(hidden suprise devs promised?)

I coudn´t find any other reasen why that happen.Any thoughts?

i also converted my roman empire. but i havnt played it yet. just loaded it up in the game to make sure it would work. im not sure what the sunset invasion surprise is but i did notice that the aztec and inca are pretty powerful. the aztec control all of central america and right up to and including florida. the inca have the entire west side of south america. im not sure if its like that in a normal game but in EU3 they were about half that size.

How do you even convert your games? I can't find anything. I must be blind.

Have the EU4 converter, start a CK2 game, press "Esc" and the bottom button is called "Export game", press it and then start EU4 through the launcher and select the converted game (it will be displayed as a mod), then the game will be running that save from 1444.

Yes it seems all orthodox nations get eastern tech group, however if you played with sunset invasion and check the tech group of the Americas it is High American which gives the same benefit as western, essentially meaning there is no benefit to westernization for faster tech as a sunset invasion American civ, and will therefore advance faster than an orthodox tech nation, i think either this is wad or perhaps they should change post schism orthodox to western, either way there empires are huge have only one natural enemy and will advance fast, meaning there gonna be a hard nut to crack.

I'm trying to export at the moment and I don't get the option. "Save and quit" is my bottom option. I have the exporter loaded too.

I'm having the same problem. There's nothing at all for me to click.

Edit: I noticed that dlc030.zip is completely empty, is this intended? (Just to note, tried deleting contents of the DLC folder and redownloading -- no improvement.)

My catholic Roman Empire is in the eastern tech group too.
How much of Europe do you own? ive conquered all of Italy but ive refrained from going into Germany or France because of various factors, ive been thinking perhaps that is part of it but maybe its simply always going to be eastern

All of the British Isles, Gaul, Iberia, Italy, Balkans, Greece, Anatolia, Iceland, Denmark, Judea, Egypt, Tunisia, parts of Russia. (Pretty much Rome without Mesopotamia and parts of North Africa)

I'm a Zoroastrian Scandinavia and I'm in the Ottoman tech group :p

And my CK2 tech was pretty advanced since I played until 1444, so it's probably based on religion.

It seems that pagans with European holdings and orthodox get eastern, Muslim with European holdings get ottoman, Muslim gets Muslim if they don't have significant European holdings (not quite sure what indicates significant but I think it's in relation to non European holding, tengri seem to be between Chinese and nomad not quite sure what decides it
But Aztecs are treated as pagan and get Eastern tech group if they hold parts of europe
