Empires V1.02 Beta

[Sulkdodds]

The new version of the popular tanks n' turrets RTFPSS (I really need to think of a better acronym. Like 'Action Strategy Shooter') is now available for download. In case you haven't heard, Empires pits two warring empires against each other to battle for supremacy over rocky crags and grassy gnolls. Turtling, tank-rushing and turret spamming hilarity ensues.

I played it a bit but it seemed to have loads of exploits that people were using to destroy me. Maybe i'll play again when they have some more releases out which even things up.

grassy gnolls

Don't you mean knolls? A Gnoll is a ficticious fantasy hyena-man from Dungeons and Dragons.

No, I meant gnolls.

It's improved. Vehicle costs alot more now so now tank rush and more infantry combat.

I enjoy it, needs more maps though.

First release was crashtsastic for me D:

 

[Krenzo]

Well, this is the 3rd release. It's a beta so it's being improved with each release.

Can we get a lowdown on this from anyone who's played this latest beta?

Should we be playing this, and if so, what's improved since the first release?

Theres a bijillion times less lag since first release. Some resource costs and vehicle weights have been increased to improve gameplay. Most crashes have been elliminated. Overall, its much much better now :cheers:

I hope that they fixed that teams get a billion res after some time, so nobody even cares about refineries.

Been puting this off because of the problems I heard but I think I'll give this version a try.

It does, Tanks costs LOADS, like 10x as much.

The lag has been reduced alot compared to first release so the mod is more enjoyable. You still get some lag if there are alot of vehicles.

 

[smokeythebear]

Ill wait untill thier further along before downloading

 

[cyborgguineapig]

so I've played for about 2 hours total now and think overall this is a great mod. I didn't notice too much lag. Small annoyances like not being able to do anything once your dead and the way some of the weapons worked were the only things really.
