But now when I age up, the building apperance does not change, nor is the new tech implemented. As you can see Im in Age IV but the builidngs are still in Age I. What am I missing?

Building appearance is determined by the building animfiles, and, usually, swaps based off certain age techs like Industrialize. If you haven’t touched any of those files or techs then I’m not sure what would cause it. Since I see RGRedcoats on there, I can’t tell if you are hard modding the entire techtreey file or using Additive modding, but I presume the former which could be leading to weird bugs.

There’s probably multiple ways to do it. One would be to make a new tech and tell it to remove the old one and add in the new tech.

Another method would be just replacing ChurchPetrineReforms.

<techtreemods>
  <tech mergeMode='replace' name="ChurchPetrineReforms" type="Normal">
    <dbid>225</dbid>
    <displaynameid>46852</displaynameid>

    <cost resourcetype="Wood">1600.0000</cost>

    <icon>resources\images\icons\techs\native\Sevastapol.png</icon>
    <rollovertextid>46851</rollovertextid>
    <flag>UniqueTech</flag>
    <flag>CountsTowardMilitaryScore</flag>
    <prereqs>
      <techstatus status="Active">ChurchWesternization</techstatus>
      <techstatus status="Active">Industrialize</techstatus>
    </prereqs>
    <effects>
      <effect type="Data" amount="0.50" subtype="BuildPoints" relativity="Percent">

      </effect>
      <effect type="Data" amount="0.50" subtype="BuildPoints" relativity="Percent">

      </effect>
      <effect type="Data" amount="0.50" subtype="BuildPoints" relativity="Percent">

      <effect type="Data" amount="0.50" subtype="BuildPoints" relativity="Percent">

      </effect>
  </tech>

You cant just go to the techtree and add stuff, you also need to embet the new tech in the protoy of the church.

But is there a chance to make a new church tech than just taking the place of old one? Or is there a limit to church techs?
