What tech do patriots rebel at?

[Red John]

I'm interested to know this.

Lets say Russia colonizes Siberia, and then Japan invades and wins at Chinese tech.

Assuming it was Russian patriots who spawn, do they spawn at Chinese tech or at Eastern tech? (Or Western, if Russia has westernized)

I believe rebels are the tech level (an I assume group) of the nation they rebel from. I remember this has been controversial in the past for example when I took land from Mali which had a military tech of about 4 and then 14 rebel regiments formed at my tech level. The mali patriots were essentially strong enough to invade mali for themselves.

Mughals have the Muslim tech group, but get Indian units.

Somewhat amusingly, this is actually a good thing for them until pretty late.

Oh true. I have no idea then. I've definitely had horrible times with rebels while sub-Saharan and conquering middle east, so maybe it's not always the current holder's tech group.

If a higher tech nation is subsidizing the rebels, they'll have the tech of the subsidizer.

I dont know which western nation that could possibly be before 1500 but I guess it must be that then
