What currently happens is that a learning score is computed based on how many schools and universities are in the CK2 provinces that get merged into an EU3 province. I'm not sure exactly how that score is processed into tech groups right now, but I do know that no one, including the mod leader who coded it, likes it and we all want it changed. I'd proposed an alternate method that everyone seemed interested in seeing the results of, but I need converter logs for unplayed games starting on Jan 1 1300, Jan 1 1337, and ideally a bunch of observe games dating to Jan 1 1399 or later. Since I can't get 0.6C to convert a game for me, I can't get those logs, and I can't test my method against them to see if it works any better or is just a different flavor of wrong. If you guys can convert unplayed games from those dates, please post your converter log files and I'll crunch them.
