Early Access Review
Alpha 12 is a totally new beast

Good job devs for making the utter failure of Alpha 10 a regrettable episode of the past which has been rectified by Alpha 12. Lots of fun. Great new universe to play with, a lot of different things to find and explore, nice new balance to things and a lot of new factions and potential threats. Its fun again... thanks for that.

Alpha 10, just lol!

Base Attacks ruins the Alpha in a game breaking way. Remote base hacks can take a base at unlimited range if the ai cant find another option, which due to stupidity, is always the case. So if you play the game right, and build a well defendable base it will be hacked and you lose EVERYTHING.

The lazy ass response of the developer https://empyriononline.com/threads/alpha-10-new-base-attack-survival.49015/page-2 can be found here. Because it is a "free block building game...blabla hard to do, cant be done..."

A simple mod in minecraft managed to get this done (zombiehordes) by letting the hordes build across obstacles and into the air, by digging away blocks, walls and such...to find a way to YOU. It worked like a charm, was done by one modder and it was lots of fun.

It is just lazy bad ai programming with this feature right now and sometimes results in repeatable crashes of the server if in mp.

Cannot recommend right now.
