Spymaster reports technology advance to level 1, but capital's still at 0,2.

[Essequibo]

Playing as Polotsk, I've send my spymaster to get some technology from Bari. I managed to get 2 advance announcements from my Spymaster, but in the capital all techs are still at triple 0 (military, economy, culture). There is some progress - some techs are at 0,2 and 0,1, but the Spymaster announced that I should get a whole level from his work.

Have I been wasting my spymaster on futile efforts? I'm playing JQDK with SoI, the Roman and Aztek DLCS.

The announcement mean that you've gotten +0.1 in a tech. Same as other tech ticks.

Thanks for quick answer.
Okies, that may be the case, but the announcement says explicitly "by 1 level" - this is misleading then, and probably not worth of an special announcement.
