[Mathew01]

Just wanted to know if there was a way in game to find another nations tech group, unless its so simple i am overlooking it, i can't find one.
and if it is impossible, could i find it in the folders?

-Thanks alot

AI rarely westernises, otherwise you can use the tech level map mode and make an educated guess, or use the troop type fielded if you're at war.

well, i'll save my game and use the troop method ( i want to attack china as a eastern tech lvl japan, so i'll see how it goes)

Troop type only indicates if they've modernized their military. Even if they're still using non-western troops, they might have still westernized in terms of tech. Also China 100% did not westernize, that's probably the least likely country to do so.

I've added this to my triggered_modifiers.txt file to help with this:

### various 'modifiers' acting as flags
techgroup_western = {
	trigger = { technology_group = western }
	global_tax_modifier = 0.001
}
techgroup_eastern = {
	trigger = { technology_group = eastern }
	global_tax_modifier = 0.001
}
techgroup_ottoman = {
	trigger = { technology_group = ottoman }
	global_tax_modifier = 0.001
}
techgroup_muslim = {
	trigger = { technology_group = muslim }
	global_tax_modifier = 0.001
}
techgroup_indian = {
	trigger = { technology_group = indian }
	global_tax_modifier = 0.001
}
techgroup_chinese = {
	trigger = { technology_group = chinese }
	global_tax_modifier = 0.001
}
techgroup_african = {
	trigger = { technology_group = sub_saharan }
	global_tax_modifier = 0.001
}
techgroup_american = {
	trigger = { technology_group = new_world }
	global_tax_modifier = 0.001
}

Then you can look at the tax values of their provinces to see their tech group. The size of the modifier is so small it shouldn't really affect anything.

You can see it in-game via the Ledger page for advisors, since a nation can only hire advisors from its own tech group, and next to each advisor is his techgroup specified.
