Techbase Takeover ?

[SentosKarum]

Would it be possible to also annex an country's[1] tech tree when conquering them ?

Say, National China conquers Japan and then can also begin researching japanese units ?

Would such an functionality be possible ?

[1] For groups such as "Eastern" maybe all natural users of the "Eastern" group need to be gone ?

If you colonize them then you can force them to give you all their techs and designs.

[SentosKarum]

But half the reason I annex like a madman is to reduce the number of AI's around.

[MrRipper]

First puppet and then annex.

[SentosKarum]

Don't think that would give me their as yet unresearched und still locked designs ?

[MrRipper]

Well you cant have it all i guess.

[Balthagor]

This has been suggested before but is not currently a feature of the game.

[SentosKarum]

Could it be a feature of the game ? Or would that require more than modding existing files ?

[Balthagor]

It would require more than just modding. I can't say if it will become a feature or not, nothing has been announced about this.

yes ... but then ...
you must struggle with the scrappy import from colonies
+ struggle with there scrappy/broken economy
+ wait that you have all necessary tech's to obtain there tech's and design's
+ you loose in the meantime all the taxes
+ you become later (very) unpopular if you annex them

That is already possible. Using event 8 (Surrender/Elimination) with conditional checks can trigger a research merge from defeated country(s). For example, i had set a war in Shattered World scenario between all 3 German regions and no matter who won that war, the winner would get combined research from all 3 regions. Also i was able to set it so that winner gets German flag and region name. The only thing that didn't work was loyalty merge because game apparently didn't want to change loyalty of a hex if it was conquered before surrender. If you played with fixed capitals setting on, that would lead to really weird loyalty map after the war and if you play it with fixed capitals off, it would make no loyalty merge at all.
