Hi,

I am playing as Rome. How do we build Foundry/Earthworks/Great Temple/Grand Theatre? They are grayed out for me even if I have the money. Also, Tetrere and Hexere ships are grayed out to me as well. I have 1 wood in the province. I can't find any Inventions or Military Traditions that seem to unlock these. I'm sure it's something simple but I can't figure it out!

Thanks

Read the mouse-over tooltip. These buildings are gated behind specific inventions.

I don't see anything in the tooltip about it being gated behind an invention. I am wondering if you can only build them in a Metropolis.
Well, they are locked behind inventions. Grand Theater is locked behind the oraratory invention of "gradual economic integration", Foundry and Earthworks are locked behind the military inventions of "Blacksmith Apprentices" and "Fortified Camps" respectively, and Great Temple is locked behind the religious invention of "Open religion".

search only works for titles of inventions

Edit: Actually, that is not right. It also seems to work with modifiers, e.g. I can search for "aggressive" and it will highlight all inventions that have something to do with agressive expansion change/impact/etc
