Yanking everything off-topic again

Not to be one of those "crazy Americans, always thinking they're the best" but Britain really can't annex the land they lost.

Britain can't beat the US in a war strongly enough to make the US give up those areas.

We didn't have a government in the Revolutionary War, and it turned out well enough.

And I'm pretty sure if anything can get our political parties to work together, it's an invasion of the US.

We might not be better, but there are a lot more of us...

Would the Brit's really want to assimilate a bunch of crazy, gun toting, uneducated hillbillies into their empire?

We will stay on topic!

Rule clarification:

Each tech only takes 6 months to research, regardless of tier, if you do not have universities or public schooling.

Hey, can I suggest a possible tier 5 tech or two?

Following on from "Trained NCO's" there could be "Marine Training" which enables marines disembarked from wooden or ironclad ships to fight better, perhaps even on par with infantry. I was told that when disembarked, they fight pretty poorly, so maybe a tech that improves this could be a good idea.

I had another idea, following on from the "Colonial Rights" line, though it's escaped me now.I'll come back and edit. "Colonial Militia" allows stronger/more/cheaper/happier militia to be trained in colonies, though risk of revolt increases or something similar.

Of course, if the question marks aren't there to symbolise a possible extra tier that has unknown techs, then ignore this post

[Subotai45]

That's what they represent.

If someone ever hits tier 3, I'll make up some techs for the 5th tier.
