    It doesn't require HL2DM. That was a bug that was fixed.

    the thing on the download page is the old version. Nobody plays that anymore. Will have to wait until our new version to play =D

    ... Unless you want to play by yourself/get a feel of the game first =)

    Well there is a server with 13 players right now.
    But the game doesn't show up in my games list. I can open the game using a diffrent method (like having all game servers on server list and join that way) But when I do join a server it says "Secure connection failed"
    All the other mods I have work fine though.

    There is a recent bug with 1.07. If you join from the steam server list you get a VAC error.

    To get around it, launch the game from:

    STEAM --> GAMES --> Empires 1.071b

    Then once in game, join via the server list

    Ok I got the shortcut working for the game you have to use "C:\valve\steam\blahblah\Empires" like that
    But it still says Connection failed when I join a server.
