Request! The Tech Tree!

[Maleficus]

How come you can do research at Oxford, but I can't?

Oxford starts out as a Church school, not a School. You'll have to dismantle it and build the 'school' line of buildings.

You can finish it, I'm guessing they just didnt expect you to go all out teching. Its not exactley easy to research fast.

So, let me see if I can remember the infantry/cavalry line, from top to bottom:

Plug bayonet Carbines
Ring bayonet Square formation
Some kind of organisational thing
Socket bayonet Cadence marching Wedge formation Rank firing
Some improved bayonet Diamond formation
Improved supply org. Advancing fire
Light inf. doctrine Shortened carbines
Platoon fire
Machined rifling
(Darn, don't remember) Percussion cap

Edit: oh, you can finish it if you have lots of schools. By dint of conquest, I have ~8 and I'm nearly done (it's ~1740).

Edit2: Can anyone think of a way of figuring out if the one province minors have truncated tech trees or very advanced tech? By about halfway through the game, I could trade any military tech to them.

They probably don't have any schools.

On another note, I'm out for this week. Expect my posting times to be cut in half, then half again.

I figured out why I couldn't remember that last tech: Prussia doesn't get it!

That makes it cut by 75%

The tech trees are not nearly as big and complicated as I expected, but since we didn't even have them in previous games, I won't complain about it.
