ABOUT Empires

Official Empires Community Page

Empires, the award winning Half-Life 2 mod, combines the best of the first person shooter and real-time strategy genres. Fight as either the Northern Faction, remnants of the fallen nation of Jekotia, or as the imperial Brenodi Empire. Empires features:

Four infantry classes

Prepare a surprise attack as the scout or take the enemy head-on as the rifleman. Drive back enemy tanks as the grenadier or support your team as the engineer. With four different infantry classes, each with customizable skills, you can create the perfect class to fit your playing style.


Squad-Based Teamwork

Players can organize themselves into highly-effective squads, overwhelming their opponents with superior tactics. Squad leaders can not only direct their respective members, but also use special squad powers such as reviving dead squad members or calling down an artillery strike on the enemy.


Vehicle Combat

Whether you're ferrying troops around the battlefield with the Armored Personnel Carrier or reigning fire upon your foes with the Artillery tank, Empires features a variety of vehicular combat. Choose from six different vehicle types, including three levels of tanks, and customize your weapons, armor, and engines.


Real-Time Strategy Commander

For those more inclined to RTS gameplay, you can play as the commander. Place buildings, build defensive turrets, construct vehicles, and conduct research on your way to leading your team to victory.


With 15 official maps and dozens more community-created ones, no two matches are ever the same. Empires brings FPS/RTS gameplay to a whole new level. Join up today and see what you've been missing.

Empires 2.38.2 Released!

Changelog:
Bugfixes

  • Fixed a number of bugs introduced in 2.38.1:

    • Fixed some issues with visibility of entities when using the commander interface. Most notably, buildings that were not fully built and vehicles were not visible when they should have been.

    • Fixed a bug that prevented team participation score being processed correctly. The following were not working correctly:

      • Commander score bonus.

      • Squad participation bonus.

      • Squad leader bonus.

    • Fixed an issue causing vehicle carcasses to be displayed on the mini-map.

    • Fixed an issue where Brenodi reinforcements weren’t being set correctly by map inputs on emp_info_params. (It was using the NF setting for both teams.)

    • Fixed a bug in GetBuildingCount() function in code, it was only able to return a count of team radars, regardless of input parameters.

  • Fixed an issue where the radar & engineer radar were trying to spot dead vehicles.

  • Fixed an issue where recycling the radar wasn’t pausing the radar functionality of the building. (Changed to match all other buildings.)

  • Fixed some potential issues in the ray cast detection used when reviving players. These are used to attempt to put the player on the ground and avoid putting the player inside terrain.

    • Added additional safety checks to ensure additional ray casts weren’t used if the initial cast failed.

  • Added a small delay to unstuck functionality if stuck inside building geometry, rather than attempting to get the player unstuck every frame if attempts failed.
