Legalism tech question

[Bezborg]

Hi all. I'm having a problem with the level of tech known as Legalism... I've achieved Legalism lev3 in my capital province but the Legalism demesne bonus still remains at +2. Is this a bug or does it take a new ruler for the new tech level to take effect? If so, does this apply to other technologies? Apparently not because infrastructure techs unlock buildings right away.

So either this is a bug or there is a third factor at work that I'm not aware of?

I think the tech bonus depends on your title, are you a duke?

 

[Bezborg]

Indeed I am. So Legalism bonus cannot exceed (or even reach) the Title tier bonus? Duke bonus is +3, so Legalism must remain at +2?

From the wiki:
"Legalism - Reduces the length of 'Short Reign' by 1 year at level 1, increases by 1 per level. Increases demesne size by 1 per level; every level for kings/emperors, every level but 3 and 5 for dukes, level 1 and 3 for counts, level 2 for barons"

So basically, level 3 and 5 do nothing for you as a duke.

Excellent, thank you very much. I'm not sure why I havent't checked wiki myself... I obviously prefer asking a real person Thanks again

Go to the tech window. If you hover over the techs it shows you what the effect is.
