I'm in 1893 as Sweden, and along with my ally UK, I'm the most advanced nation on Earth. I've researched every available discipline in every field, except for Army, where I'm still missing the top level tech in each of the disciplines. However, the game won't let me research them, leaving me with no research options at all. I got the last two commerce techs after switching academic styles, but there's no way I can see that I could get to the last Army techs.

What's the deal here? Do they become available at some specified point in time?

Makes sense, I suppose. Thanks.

*sigh* So I won't be rolling into Finland with my tanks just yet...

Take advantage of the time until you can research - cut education to 50% (so your literacy does not drop) and use the money for other things - be they social reforms, equipping a new navy, factory expansion, or buying Finland.

Those silly Ruskies won't sell. I got relations to 198 or thereabouts, and yet they refuse to even give me Mariehamn for five techs and a big wad of cash. What they do want is me helping them in their war against the Ottoman Turks. Every time I refuse, relations go down by 10 or so. In short, I'm done speaking softly. Now I'm just waiting to get the Really Big Stick factory built (and building a formidable navy and first-rate railroad system, etc.).

Becuase that is a Russian core province. The AI does not like selling its cores.

I don't think it is. You're probably thinking of Viipuri (the one just Northwest of St. Petersburg), which is a core province for both Russia and Sweden (and Finland too, I suppose, should it get formed during the game).

Well check on the diplomacy map. The Russian Cores will have little dots on them.

I know. As far as I can remember, Viipuri is the only Finnish province that is also a core province of Russia. I checked this before deciding whether to to buy all that land from that stupid Czar or whether just take it and kick his ass in the process.

Of course, it's possible that Russia has events which add to core provinces. I know I got a couple of core provinces in Africa, next to my colonial holdings, which attained core status through an event (although that was something that required fairly advanced cultural techs, and the Russians are pretty backwards as of 1900).

No Mariehamn is a Russian starting core, if it's WAD or not I don't know. But it's still a starting core.

That has been removed in VIP as it just doesn't make sense ;)
