Okay, the title is a bit of an exaggeration, but the idea's there
I've been getting into EU4 for a few days now, and it's a great step away from Victoria 2, I love the depth, and this mod only makes it all better !
However, one slight issue I'm having is how historically ''uncivilized'' nations are able to technologically keep up with Europe. By 1666, China, the Ottomans, the Nogai Horde, Timurids, Shogunate Japan and many more small nations all over the world have the top tech levels, while Great Britain, Spain, Denmark, Lithuania and Portugal are lagging at least one level behind in one, if not two techs. How can Europe, where 99% of Institutions spawn, be technologically beaten by Asia, America and Africa ?
Coming from Vic2, where I got used to wiping 30k unciv stacks with barely 8k of Western troops, it's a bit of a shock as you can guess, since now keeping your colonies together is even harder, as small garrisons aren't good enough
Is this normal ? I've read something about that issue a few years ago, and apparently it had been fixed
Thank you if you ever come across this post and reply, I hope I'll finally get to understand what's going on
