  • Europa Universalis III Complete
So I picked up SR:CW not too long ago as I thought it looked interesting and I enjoyed Europa Univeralis 3. Much to my surprise the game came without tutorials and the online manual left something to be desired. This wasn't too bad until I got a some time into a campaign and noticed that none of my research projects had begun (which I had selected on the very first turn). I am playing as the US and I have a number of research facilities but all of my research projects say, "Research Slot Required". Every. Single. One. If I have 7 research facilities and only 1 active (all the others are paused) project then why does it still tell me a slot is required?

I've looked high and low for any indication of how many slots I have and how to allocate them but I haven't found anything. As much as I want to give this game a chance it's hard to do so when so much is left up to the player to try and figure out on their own. Any help (screenshots or video would be a HUGE plus) would be greatly appreciated.
 
Have you installed the update? You should see version 7.2.2 in the bottom right of the main menu.

Once you install the update you will see links on the main menu to YouTube video tutorials as well as links to the dev forum. From the dev forum, you can find the SupremeWiki which has beginner guides.

Please take a moment to register your copy of the game on the forums here by selecting My Games in the first row at the top of this page.
 
You must have a research facility ACTIVE, and "OPEN" in order for a new project to be researched.

You also must have met ALL prerequisites in order for that item to be researched.

For example..there are times when after acquiring new tech, you will see dozens of new designs available. If you have 10 facilities, and 30 designs, you CAN click the green button on each one to research them all, but you will only be able to actually research 10 at a time.

If you have taken 5 research facilities "offline", then you will only be able to research 5 designs at the same time, even though you "own" 10 facilities. Bring these 5 back online and you will be back to 10 at a time..
