Spread technology rate

[Kaiserlicher Ritter]

What is best to do, actually how does this work? My capital is Aachen, should I place like my men doing research there, for example my Marshal, or should I like put at the border of my empire and let the technology flow to my capital, or should I place him in midway from the borders to the capital? Or what do you lot think?

You can only actually directly upgrade technology levels in your capital, and the councilor missions to research tech only work on counties you control personally.

I know I can upgrade it man, I'm asking about the spread of points.

Technology spreads between provinces that border each other, as well as between provinces in the demesne of the same ruler even if they do not border each other. The rate of growth depends on the degree of the technology lead in the more advanced province. The Spymaster's Study Technology mission also lets technology spread from the target province. The other advisors' research missions also increase the speed of spreading, as do the School and University buildings.

So by sending your Court Chaplain (or Steward, or Marshal) to research tech in your capital, you increase the rate at which the capital increases in cultural (or economic, or military) technology and therefore increase its lead over provinces neighboring your capital, which in turn increases the rate of spread of tech from your capital to its neighboring provinces and non-neighboring provinces in your personal demesne.

This is a good thing! Your capital is where tech will increase the fastest, so you want to encourage those advances to spread to other provinces in your realm. If your capital borders directly on provinces outside your realm (for example, Krakow in Poland borders Rus provinces and Hungarian provinces), either accept that you're helping your rivals somewhat, or move your capital to a more central province.

If you want a particular province to catch up faster instead, sending your councilors there will multiply the effect of spread from its neighbours.

Note: I didn't write this out. I copy and pasted it. This is what you were wondering about, yes? I wondered the same once.

Yes, you helped me wonderfully, thank you.

Very helpful, thank you.
