Just a quick question because I'm trying to decide what to research next.
Is fire by rank effective in the field of battle?

Fire by Rank should be your absolute first tech to target, since its a significant advantage over any lesser-equipped line infantry.
The fact that Maratha's are incapable of it is a significant disadvantage in later game.
The only alternative would be to research towards a modern university since once you have that you can quickly clean up all the remaining techs.
Good luck!
