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.

Blog RSS Feed Report abuse Latest News: 1.073 Server Patch and 1.08 Update

5 comments by Krenzo on Nov 19th, 2006 digg this super bookmark


A new server side only patch has been released for Empires, version 1.073, which fixes a recently discovered exploit and one other bug. All of our time has been focused on completing 1.08 so it was quite a big deal that we dropped all work and went back to fix a problem that was just discovered yesterday by one of our forum members.

I thought I would also use this news post to give an update on 1.08 which is still coming along smoothly. We've managed to add another weapon animator to get things done as soon as possible. Here are some new screen shots to show off the new Northern Faction grenade and mine models and animations in-game.

Empires looks so pretty now! I used to play it in the earliest beta stages and it's great to see all the progress made. Definately going to reinstall HL2 and the mods, when I get my new PC!

Great work, once again!
