Research Libraries#

Within the research menu you will find four types of libraries (or five if you are at 2000 tech level or higher). The libraries are as follows:

• Weapon Library
• Soldier  Library
• Ground Unit  Library
• Space Unit  Library
• Nuke  Library (after 2000 tech)

Within each library you will find all of the designs that are owned by your empire of that type. Note that whilst soldiers are technically ground units, they are classified differently.

Each library offers you the chance to see and organise the technology at your disposal including specific details of each design. By clicking on the design name it is also possible to share it with another empire.

There are two other options on each library for designs:

• Active - By checking this box you will indicate whether the design is in active service in your empire. Any design that is not marked as active will not be build-able. This helps to clear your colony unit lists of old or poorly designed units.
• Shared - This check box decides whether the unit can be accessed by empire members that only have the rank of  Governor . This allows you to provide your most powerful technology only to your (trusted)  senators .
