I'm in a really interesting game with Afghanistan right now, trying to become stronger than Persia. I'm in the late 80s now and only a few ranks away from Persia. Unfortunately I can't recall what technologys are needed to become a western-minded nation. (Basically just researched the "basics" until now) So what technologys do I need for westernisation again?
 
I bet he is playing vip which requires 10 prestige and 6 military power along with some required techs.

The techs

* Early Railroad
* Ad-hoc money bill printing
* Market Structure
* Army Professionalism
* Naval Professionalism
* Iron Steamers
* State & Government
* Empiricism

The Inventions

* Ministerial Government (You need State & Government and Empiricism for it to trigger)

Thanks for replying guys!
Actually I finished that game with Afghanistan by now and reaching 100 prestige seems impossible for me. I got to 30 prestige I think, along with 50 Industry and 7 Military by the end. So that's still far away from becoming civilized ... not to forget that it wouldn't help me anything when the game is already over. Alright, I made quite a lot mistakes during the match but even if I'd do everything right I'd still only have one decade left to really get to grab some weaker countrys land. But I guess the ultimate goal would be civilizing for a rather weak uncivilized nation like Afghanistan, wouldn't it?

I was thinking about getting ViP but I'm not sure if it is compatible with Revolutions. The system to become civilized there seems a little more fair in my opinion though.

There is one mistake in this - you don't need Iron Steamers. Iron Steamers technology is not required in event code and I tested positively that you can civilize even without this technology ;–)

There is an older version for Victoria 1.04 but the latest versions of VIP are all for Revolutions.
 
Hm... Now I have ca 350 prestige, 300 in industrial and 21 in military. My economy is a disaster due to the last part. Some maoist would love my country- almost every worker into arms! :)
But how long time until I get to be civilized?
 
Vanilla Rev requirements are 100 prestige, 75 Ind, 25 Mil.
