It's too bad there is no chart that lists all of the technologies and improvements in the game. They also seem to be scattered throughout the manual.

It might be interesting if we list all the technologies/improvements we discover either in the manual or in the game and list them under this thread for easy reference. Then hopefully in the near future someone could do a tech chart and post it for download :)

So I'll start:

Military and Naval Technology (pages 44 and 45 of the manual)

Military: Constructing conscription centers (military tech level 31) which is shown as a small tent, allows for the recruitment of larger armies. The effect is a ten-fold increase in the recruitment capacity of your province, and improved maintenance ability for any army unit in the province.

Naval: The naval shipyard (naval tech level 16) is gold coloured. This allows you to build all ship types at a higher speed. It increases the build capacity of your province ten-fold. The first naval shipyard you build provides one extra colonist each year.
 
Even better:
look at the naval or military screen on upper left of screen (the button with an anchor or helmet).
There you will find:
- your current tech level
- your current % of maintenance troop (50% is militia, 100% is veteran)
- your total amount of troops and navy (and the associated cost)
- and... a reminder of all important technology levels ;)
