The Empires Team is proud to announce the imminent release of Empires on January 10th 2004! Continuing in the budding and incredibly exciting genre of RTS/FPS, Empires lets a player on either side command from a bird's eye view while the soldiers on the ground build, and play with the tanks, jets, and other goodies his strategic brilliance make possible. Have the mind of Sun Tzu but the reaction times of a epiletic goat? Get in that command tank and resource scrimp and order your team to victory. Got more sand in your camo gear than The Desert Fox himself? GET in your heavy tank soldier!! Your team needs you! You got what it takes flyboy? You know where the jets go! There is something for everyone who's into intense combat, addicting teamplay, and a god complex :D The mod has gone through several iteration in internal alpha testing. But the din of gamers wanting to try it out has persuaded the team to release it's very first public beta. There's a bit of dust to be shined and some reworking yet to be done, but you can get a taste of it soon. So get your BF1942 all warmed up for the artillery shelling, mind bendingly strategic, G-force pulling gaming goodness that is EMPIRES 0.1 !!
