I have Iron Working, I believe that the screen only shows techs that he has which I lack. I think. All I know, is that the only one I have a tech edge on is GE. So... I really haven't been doing that well this game.
Um... nothing that new to report. Just got Printing Press, so hopefully that will boost my income a bit. Gonna pick up Nationalism so I can have a draft available, and get Gunpowder and, dunno, go for Cuirassiers maybe. Not sure. Got vision into a couple of GE's border cities. One of his new ones is poorly defended, of course. The one by the lake has a tone of Longbowmen. I'm thinking that when I launch an offensive, I'll just punch through his more weakly defended cities, and keep a force by the lake that can stop/slow down a counter-attack.

So he still needed it to research. (and construction for engineering-> chem too)
