Empire of Krax can't build Spikes of Krax (spearmen with short spears and wooden shields) until they research leatherworking. However the unit is missing from the Leatherworking research branch (the icon should be there with the defenders), but it is made available upon research.
Thread bump for 1.4. StarDock, you may need to revisit how spears are handled:
- As per above: Default unit 'Spikes of Krax' is not available in until Leatherworking has been researched due to how the unit template is handled, meaning Krax as the only faction has no standard spearman until leather is researched. Not very newbie friendly, consider changing default template so they can build a spearman unit immediately.
- As the only weapons, the basic spears are missing from city shops - this includes the unique Krax Short Spear. If this is a balance decision rather than a bug rather than have this inconsistent rule a better way to handle it might be lowering initial starting gold so players can't immediately purchase a spear. Lowering starting gold would also eliminate running no/low tax rate as the optimal opening strategy which also isn't intuitive to new players.
