Are these bugs or am I missing something?

The beginning of the 3rd act.
1) The rank of the kingdom's leadership does not rise above 1. (already 60,000 out of 50,000 points are needed)
2) Research "The fate of Soulshear" cannot be started

1) I have seen that too. I assume that it is just a matter of time passing for the UI to get updated. At least in my case, stuff started leveling up eventually.

2) If you have any other project involving diplomacy running currently then you won't be able to start any other diplomacy project. In other words, you can only have one of each type of project (Leadership, Logistics, Military, Diplomacy) running concurrently.

You appear to have enough resources for that project, so that isn't the issue.

Make sure you have the artifact on you. If you sold it, dropped it, or threw it in your stash then maybe that would block the project.

Aside from that I can't think of what would block it. If none of those are true in your case then you may want to report it as a bug in-game (press < alt >< b >).

1: Just go to the rank up menu and pass the decrease there. They take 1 day and then you level up.

thanks all.
1) I skipped 3 days days and got an event to unlock.
2) To start a project, the weapon must be in the hero's inventory. (I dropped it in the chest)
