Once again, it's time for another release. Empires V1.07 fixes many bugs and increases stability. We've moved Empires to the new HL 2 engine introduced in Episode 1. This means that if you didn't have HL2 Deathmatch installed before, it's now required to play. The new engine fixes problems with recording and playing demos and may improve performance overall.

the screen you posted there reminds me a bit of the very first Command&Conquer game's cover :')
Big file for bugfixes... I wouldn't have minded a smaller 1.06 --> 1.07 file.
any word yet on the new weapon models and animations?
great !!
Another good release, wtg!
Good stuff. Good to see more bugs being fixed.
It was going to be a smaller 1.065 until I started fixing bugs that were on the server as well. Thus, I decided to make it a full 1.07 release for both client and servers which would mean that anyone with 1.0 could update to it. It's to keep new users from having to download 1.0 -> 1.06 -> 1.07, etc.
Oh, and I forgot to link the image to our gallery. If you want the full size picture, look in our profile's gallery.
The new skinning is almost completely done for all of them. They're now being handed to the animators and will be released once the animations are complete.
Why don't you just do a full release and an incremental patch?
Good job guys. Please keep it up with the updates :)
