Oh dammit I still need to play System Shock. Bad thing is, it shocks my system whenever I try to play it (IE: it crashes)
ok, now that empires is confirmed, will it be a patch or will it be a total "download everything again" game
700 mb total? lol my folder from 1.08 has 1.6 gigs in it... wonder where the extra space is going... Just as a thought will it have its own folder or will it overwrite the 1.08 folder I already have?
It's all compressed into the installer 2.0 will install into the "empires" folder so the empires_108 folder will still be there.
I played Sourceforts when it was... 1.8 or something. I played it for a few months but got bored to it because it became too "elite" like. For example, there is this one plate freezed in the middle of nowhere having no meaning at all, yet you must understand that it is the entrance to your base... Right. Too "only for elites or clans" feeling for me. I haven't played 1.9.2 version of it or whatever is the latest version of it because I don't want to play games which requires months of practicing and super computer to run the mod smoothly. Also I don't like at the block limit which is in every map. The mod was extremely awesome when you had unlimited amount of blocks and you could do sky forts and so on. Now it is too plain, restricted and so on. Too solid without room for movement.
I can't wait for our hard work to finally pay off. Everyone has been working on this mod for the past several months with the RCs, and the Devs have been working on it even longer than that. It's been over a year since the last official release, and we've lost a lot of people who have gone into 'hibernation'. I hope that we're gonna get a flood of people who used to play Empires and loved it who come back, look at 2.0 and say: "Wow" and stick with us for another year or however long it will take to get aircraft and everything added.
I'm really looking forward to the release and I'm sure it will be a great success. There are plenty of new features, but in my opinion the most important thing are the bugfixes. I stopped playing 1.07 because it crashed every 15 min or so and that was very annoying. During the test of 1.08/2.0 it still crashed sometimes but from about RC18 it stopped crashing and can now be played the whole day without any interruption :D
Really? I found 1.071 to be one of the most stable releases ever. Only the server crashed sometimes, but never the client.
http://www.empiresleague.com/press/ Ow and cheezy, it won't be a patch, it will be a full installer. And you'll have to wait 11 days untill it's released.
