So how does this tech and prestige work?

I guess the VH AI asks for unreasonable fees for tech then... for vanilla at least.

No, they just love their tech too much to give up. I don't blame them, because it is fairly hard to actually get them

Or the AI just want's to keep you down.

You can demand tech in peace settlements.

prestige usually, in MTW anyway, worked based on the regions you own based on victory conditions.

So if you take a region that is not part of your victory conditions (list of provinces you must have to win the game) you may get only a couple points.

Where as you if take a region listed in your victory conditions, you get expodentially more.

So for instance, if I was playing Austria, I would get far more prestiege for taking Venice or East Prussia, then I would for taking over France. Even though conquering Paris would seem more prestigious, it is not part of the victory conditions, and therefore only minor points.

At least that's how it used to be.

Now they are a mixture of all your accomplishments. Tech contributes, army size contributes, army victories contribute, bla blabla....

Argh!! I just realized that you can research more than one tech at a time!!

In the top of the tech window are your schools (if you have more than one), and you can select them (the schools at the top) one at a time and assign a tech to each school!!

No wonder I was dropping so far behind the AI...
