This is the official guide archive for the Emperors Hammer. These guides cover the technical side of the games used by the fleet and provide support and detailed descriptions on use of the patches, missions and programs provided by the Science and Tactical Offices. More support and training in the use of many of these is available at the Training Office.
This archive is in perpetual evolution, feel free to submit your own guides, comments, corrections, questions and/or answers to the Science Office. All submissions should have relevance to the technical side of the games used by the Emperors Hammer or the Science Office. Submissions should not contain any CoC or AoW violations and might be editted for release.
For file or patch downloads, please use the links below the title bar.
Note: For "Balance of Power" please refer to the "X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter" Guides.
Note: Because of their use of the XvT engine, on some technical matters for the "X-Wing Collector's Series" ('95) versions of "X-Wing" and "TIE Fighter", you'll be redirected to the "X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter" Guides as well.
