Small but perhaps significant buff to espionage IG

Why is spying on other nations technology not a thing in EUIV?

My suggestion is to make the espionage Idea group's bonus give a tech cost reduction for technologies that one of you rivals have but you haven't developed yet.

 

[BrokenSky]

You mean an increased neighbor bonus? Or specifically a tech discount for techs your rivals have?

 

[aQuilaSwe]

I mean only tech discount for techs your rivals have. I first thought of just increasing the neighbor bonus, but that doesn't really fit the theme of spying on you enemies to prevent them from getting an advantage over you.

the espionage was very important in the dark age, but in eu4 its practically dead. They should overthrow the whole system of it
