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.

Empires v2.24d has been released. Small yet very important, 2.24d should be cross-compatible with unpatched 2.24 installations.

Fixes:
+ Lots of potential crashes
+ Squad ability cooldown removed
+ Rifleman sticky grenade damage against turrets increased
+ SMG2 slightly rebalanced
+ (from 2.24c) the chat background visibility can be toggled  with cl_chatbackdrop

Empires is quite an amazing game. However, it's quite unforgiving if your new.

If it's your first time playing, stick with it. It will suck at first, but the more you play it, the more you will enjoy it.

The main problem with the game, is the community. The vets typically hate some of the maps, so they'll all go onto Spectator and waste a server spot until the match is over. And, being as there is only around five or six occupied servers, it's pretty tough to get in a game.

Nevertheless, it's easily one of the greatest mods out there.

Empires is nowhere near being dead. At all times there is atleast one full server. (either the 41 slot or the 64) Stop saying stupid shit like,

"i miss the good old days for empires where the servers were vast and near impossible to get into. sadly empires looks like it is dieing off slowly, used to have atleast a good 10,000 players."

Because it isn't true and its bad PR for a mod that every single HL2 owner has played atleast once. Shit is classic dawg, up there with PVK2 and those other ones. You dig?

If there were even one mere aircraft total battle map (in the 1/64th scale) you wouldnt be able to get into a single server.

Just sayin, its what the people want.
