Playing Victoria 2 A House Divided, and starting the scramble for Africa.

I have the first 3 techs that bring the life rating down:

Prophylaxis Against Malaria (Medicine) (1836)
Nationalism & Imperialism (1850)
Machine Guns (1870)

This allows me to colonize provinces with a life rating of 15 and above. However there are some provinces with a life rating of 10, so I still need to bring the min life rating down by another 5 points. How do I do this? Is there another tech that I need? Or is there something else?

Yeah, you need the Innovation "The Dark Continent", I believe its under the National Focus culture techs, and requires one or two 1890 techs before it can fire. I can't check exactly where it is right now as I'm away from home.

EDIT: Just noticed you said AHD, not HoD. It's still "The Dark Continent" but it will be 1880 techs. I strongly suggest getting HoD as Victoria 2 is from when Paradox used an expansion model instead of a DLC model, you'll be missing out on a lot of bug fixes / features.
