Hello Luxor70

Congratulations to the emperor wars mod (4.1). I really like to play it!
There are some questions I would like to ask you:
- what is the purpose of the 'peasants'? They are free of charge, but I also see no benefit other than food eating and enlarge the total of units...
- in 4.1 it is not possible to hire mercenarys at star ports after reasearching 'Offworld Trade'. Do I have to research each alien psychology to get each mercenarys?
- I supose that scientists have to be built (late) as resource for other units?

I'm looking forward reading your answers.

Best regards from switzerland!
Tom

Hi. Peasants and scientists are just a placeholder, for now. For mercs and other units you can get with techs, you need to research specific tech. It's cheap, so it's just 1 turn away, but in this way I can map unit in the Archives to tell players which techs they must research to get that specific unit.

Thanks for the answers!

Hi Luxor70
Actually, somehow some of the units that should be released by techs (like the mercenarys and infantry) don't show up for production even after complete research. Now I wondering why this can happen.
I started the newly with a 4.1 (with Hawkwood) galaxy and installed afterwards 4.1b - but the units don't show up ether...
Have you got eventually an idea?

Best regards
Tom

Hi Tom. Mercenaries are built in starports and Infantry in forts.

No, EW is designed to work with a lore-rich content, so it's not possible to start with 1 planet only. Random galaxies are not supported either.

You can try playing Vau Wars, which is based on EW and it starts with 1 planet.
