Working on nation, but I'm a bit confused on the tech purchasing system. I assume 1895 is our starting year to determine costs by?[/quote]

Yes

[quote]How much would I have to pay to get Bolt-action rifles and machineguns? Do I have to take grenades with them?

[i]Nations begin with NO CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES. 

Unlocking one costs (3 Nation Points + 1 Per Year Ahead). [b]It's not any years ahead, so just 3 Nation Points. If you want Machine Gun's it 3 Nation Points + another 1.[/b].

Advancing an unlocked tech's year costs 1 Nation Point, the next costs 2 Nation Points, et cetera.

(Example: Unlocking Bolt Action Rifle costs 3 Nation Points, upgrading it to 1896 would be 1 Nation Point).

I reorganized the technologies so they should be much easier to decipher now.
