NOT A BUG WaD : Four techs to choose from

Four techs to choose from

So I've only got 4 techs to choose from in my current game. I have a traditional academic admin, and I have not researched all the army techs yet - however, when I'm prompted to choose a new tech only the 4 non army ones show up...

I think I traded for an army tech right after I started researching it, and this might be the source of the problem.

Any thoughts on a work around?

The last five army techs are only available after 1900, so if you have researched 20 out of 25 that is probably the reason.

If that's not it, I don't know what the problem is...

I've only researched 12 out of 25 and its 1859

this happened to me a few times too, but only when i got way out in front with a tech area at the expense of others (ex, i was concentrating on army due to a prolonged war).
it may be a WaD.

It most propably is WaD. There are prerequisities for many techs, not only the late military ones. Some need other techs, some need a certain date. I've never seen it happen with a traditional academic though, only with more concentrated guys.

You can see the tech requirement in-game, but the year requirements are only found in the tech files or the techtionary thread. Perhaps they should also be shown in-game?

Well, if that is the cause of what I saw I think it should be displayed most definitely. I do, a few years later, have the ability to research army techs again - after I became Italy.

I wasn't just focusing on army techs, so I am surprised I got so far ahead of the game really. I was a bit behind in navy techs, but near the top in the other three also...
