Tech will not be in tiers so to say, but rather you can unlock them after a certain amount of time. There will also be different subsections of tech. The following are the tech trees:
1830's:
Diplomacy Technology:
Congress of Vienna-In order to prevent another major European War such as the one brought upon by Napoleon, we should agree to certain terms-Takes 0 turns to research, all European countries must research it by 1840.
Terms of the Congress:
Austria gains control of Venetia and Lombardia
Netherlands gains de jure control of Belgium and Luxembourg
Prussia gains control of a large area west of its traditional borders
Norway and Sweden are in a union led by Sweden
Sweden renounces its claims to Finland
Poland is divided between Austria, Russia and Prussia
Military Technology:
Post-Napoleonic Thought-Infantry+Artillery units gain +1 advantage while in battle while Cavalry lose -1 effectiveness-Takes 4 turns to research
Ironclads-Ironclads gain +1 advantage while in battle while wooden ships lose -1 effectiveness. Unlocks Ironclads-Takes 4 turns to research
Steamers-Ships can move an extra tile while in sea-Takes 4 rounds to research
Economic:
Increased Federal Bureaucracy-Gain +1 turns per round-Takes 6 rounds to research.
Politics:
Isolationism-Not allowed to form alliances, but gain +1 against rebels and enemies-Takes 6 turns to research
Repeal Isolationist Policies-Repeals policy of Isolationism-Takes 6 turns to research
Implement a One Year Draft-Increase force limit by 50-Takes 6 turns to research
Social:
Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe-Gain 5 prestige per round-Takes 5 turns to research
Better Medicine-First of five techs required for future colonization-Takes 5 turns to research
1840's:
Diplomacy:
Crackdown on the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade-The First countries who research this tech could gain a random coastal colony on the western coast of Africa. The first few people who research have to roll the dice and see if they have a high enough number. They roll ONE (Not two) die and if they get a 1-3, they don't get a costal colony. If they get a 4-6, however, then they can get a random coastal colony. If you lose the roll, then you have to wait another round before you can roll again. The first five people to get 4-6 on the dice will get a coastal colony. Steamers gain +1 effectiveness-Takes 6 turns to research
Military:
Escorts-Can be used to guard Troop Ships at sea (removes the -2 battle penalty for troop ships if escorts are escorting them)-Takes 5 rounds to research and requires Steamers to already be researched.
Economic:
Government Interventionism-Gain +1 turns per round-Takes 7 rounds to research and Increased Federal Bureaucracy must already be researched.
