quick patch
Focus changes:
- The early focuses relating to fortifying now give 1 military factory each
- Early games focuses now take less time
- Warplans and Research focuses are available in the beginning
The early game had the issue in which you had to wait and couldn't really build your awesome techs due to lack of everything, i also tried to make it less of a waiting game by allowing the player more choice instead of railroading.

Tech changes:
- Empire no longer starts with advanced tech and instead has to rely on basic tools and the fact that they know about eletrical mechanical engineering, my reasoning for this is that there is no way the empire would be able to reproduce all their gizmos due to the fact that everything is absolutely wrecked and they have no means to actually reconstruct said utilities. Gameplay wise, it's to give the player more choice in techs.
- Buff: Empire gets the carrier 1 and Destroyer 1 research, i view the executor as a really big carrier and everything else as their shielding ships so i'd assume they would have a rough idea on where to start.

Map Changes:
- Added a northern and southern territories. This doesn't really affect Vader players too much but it does fix A LOT of the issues Tarkin players had.

the rest is just more bug fixes.
