Is there any way to fix the horrible Badboy problem when playing as Prussia

Looking over that tree (Well done!) I can confirm that the inventions do not even appear on the list when you mouseover the tech on the research screen; the Neoclassical Theory and Institutionalism, for example, had no inventions listed in my last game - just that it was required for Modern Central Bank.

Thanks!

Sounds like your files have become corrupted somehow, or that the parsing of them doesn't work the way it should. Have you tried re-installing/re-patching?

I haven't, but it's a Vanilla install with just one econ mod, and this happened before I applied the mod. The fact that it happened at two totally different points in the game and that other people have experienced the same thing (it's in the bugs logged forum) suggests that it is not corruption.

For example:

Game 1 as USA: Never got electricity. Never triggered; never listed as an invention.

Game 2 as Prussia: Got electricity but not, say, tanks.

I need more data, but this suggests that there is some game logic that is preventing it from triggering properly; if the file were corrupted, then you would never get certain techs, rather than sometimes.

The techs and inventions are defined in seperate files, so if the invention-file is corrupt, it should still b e able to read the tech-file.

Yes, but if the invention file was corrupt, then the invention would -never- appear - you would not get electricity, for example, ever. Instead, I got it in one game and not in another. You could argue that the file was corrupted in between those two games, except that the same behavior was exhibited in both games; you could get some inventions but not all.

And then, this has been logged as a bug, so I'm not sure how corrupt files is a possibility.

Well, if you are really (un)lucky, the files would be corrupt, but still parsable. They wouldn't give errors, but wouldn't have meaningful content.

But all this is hypothetic and unlikely; if it's logged as a bug, then my guess is that the problem is elsewhere

At around 10, even -200 relations wouldn't trigger endless war. So I just left my BB unchanged after the 3 hurrays and played the rest of the game. Really lame that we have to fix this stuff...
