Overlord Tech Sharing

By your benevolent choices you can enlighten your subjects by sharing the lessons about technology that you already learned or you can without your knowledge from them to keep them in the stone age. A more technological subject will be more useful and productive to you but they are more likely to pose a challenge to your authority because the technology gap between you may not be very large.

No longer will subjects be demoted to Protectorate based on falling behind in tech. Instead, when a subject falls below a tech level threshold determined by a policy, they will get a temporary modifier applied to them to help them catch back up. The modifier is the same as the one vanilla grants to Protectorates.


Features

• Eliminates switching between basic subject types that vanilla irritatingly does
  
• Applies the same sort of catch-up mechanism that vanilla uses for Protectorate to ALL subject types
  
• Controllable via policy setting
  
• Keeps subjects relevant
  
• Not applicable if you use the origin Imperial Fiefdom
  
• Safe to add to existing games
  
• Subjects will be grateful (+1 Loyalty) if you set your policy to Enlightenment

Policy Options

• Default: 80% bonus to subjects researching tech their overlord has, enabled when tech ratio to overlord is between 50-55%
  
• Enlightenment: 80% bonus to subjects researching tech their overlord has, enabled when tech ratio to overlord is between 80-85%
  
• No Bonus: No bonus applied to subjects

Compatibility

Should not interfere with other mods and if something else overwrites the few subject types mentioned above, it will not break this mod other than those subject types might switch to Protectorate still.
