Which patch did change ahead of time mechanics?

[trojan1234]

I remember that ahead of time penalty percent in tech cost was reduced by the ruler's corresponding skill level. But I found such a mechanic is removed now. Currently ahead of time penalties for adm/dip/mil techs are all the same even with 0/3/6 ruler.

I searched all patch notes but could not find a single word implying this. Is this broken? Or hidden changes intended by devs?

That was never the case. There are no changes to ahead of time mechanics because they haven't been changed.

It definitely was the case, but I think that was already removed in 1.2.

Yes, ruler skill level modifying ahead of time was removed in 1.2 (without a patch note).

Thank you guys. One more question (maybe to devs) is it broken by mistakes in the patches? or is it a hidden changes intended by devs?

I love to have those system back. Eastern / ottoman / muslim tech groups could advance in mil tech at key stage(like tech 10 / 12) to have technological superemacy over western enemy if they have a ruler with higher mil skill. But for now, everyone get the same ahead of time penalty so it is nearly impossible or wasteful to advance mil tech faster than western tech group.

No dev quote, but the fact it wasn't changed back in 1.3 implies that it was intended.
