This mod only works with v1.6 Game Data. It has no effect on other mods.

Play the new game mode Empire Wars from Definitive Edition on Voobly.

This mod adds maps with the code "EW" where you start with extra villagers and buildings. There are some differences to the DE version of the mode.

When you start the game, you will have, appart from the Town Center and the Scout:

• Two farms.
• Six houses.
• A Barracks.
• A Blacksmith.
• Six villagers and a sheep next to the Town Center.
• Two villagers next to the farms.
• Five groups of four villagers around your starting buildings.
• Enough line of sight to locate the main woodlines, berries and gold.

Sample of how the map looks at the begining of the game:


In order to get your economy working as soon as you start the game, the following buildings are free and instantaneously built:

• The first 3 lumber camps.
• The first mill.
• The first mining camp.

Once these buildings have been created, prices and build times return to normal.

You still need to decide where to place the camps but should get your villagers working within the first minute of the game.

Supported maps:

• Arabia.
• Arena.
• BF Lord.
• BF Lord without water or wolves.
• BF Lord without wolves.
• Black Forest.

Any other map can be created via the 1.6 Custom Creator.
