Empires is a mod for Half-Life 2 which will combine the genres of real-time strategy and first person shooter. Each team has four classes to choose from (scout, rifleman, grenadier, and engineer) with unique weapons and skills each. One player will become the commander by entering the team's command vehicle to build the team's base and lead his team to victory. Once your base is built up, purchase vehicles from your team's vehicle factory to open up another facet of Empires' gameplay. Vehicles can be customized with unique weapons, armor, and engines. The commander can research improvements to all aspects of vehicles such as longer range cannons, homing missiles, and armor-piercing machine gun rounds. Once your team is prepared, lead an assault into the enemy base. The enemy team is defeated when all players are wiped out with either no place to respawn or no reinforcements remaining or the team's command vehicle is destroyed.

Those who wish to get an Empires 2.0 server operational before the client is released may now do so.  This is only for those who wish to run a dedicated server.  The install file is a single zip file which supports both Windows and Linux.  Extract it to your srcds directory, and it will create a new "empires" directory with everything you need.


 

For everyone else, here are three new screen shots to hold you over to Friday when the client will be released:

They are moving to the ep2-engine and also they are fixing some bugs. If we are lucky, then there will even be a new kind of jeep.
The next BIG update, Empires 3.0 should include aircraft.

This mod deserves to be #1, This is the BEST HL2 MOD out there out of all of them. Sure other mods are nice but not fun. Empires is FUN.

Grats on 3rd place in the top released mods of the year. I personally thought you deserved one, but still, Empires has come quite a long way.

I still hope you get a really good job with a good developer and release the next hit, Krenzo.
