    Does this mod happen to be based on the Warhammer 40k world. More specifically the Imperial Gaurd? Cause i have noticed some simularities in vehicals and models. I find it sweet though and am pumped to play it soon.

    No, it's not. I've played the Dawn of War RTS and read some of the background behind the world. There's no crazy immortal emperor in Empires or anything else from Warhammer.

    OHHHHH that is a BURN. Burn, dude, burn.

    Are there any long term goals in the storyline that might affect the gameplay? Or, for that matter, long term goals in gameplay (such as the addition of the Navy) that might affect the story? Hell, what are some long term goals of empires? This is something that clearly wouldn't be happening right now, more like IF (and this is a big, far off, hypothetical IF) Empires got picked up by Valve or whoever picks up mods.

    What I mean by this is: are you thinking about another race that that might become another faction in the game, such as (while we're on 40k) some sort of Chaos Marine or Ork, or Natural Selection-esque alien species? Or something else altogether that doesnt relate to factions or new branches of the army?

    There aren't any plans to add other races. The story is pretty much just focused on this long struggle between the two ethnic groups.

    You look tired in your picture. Spend less time working and more time feeding us delicious games. They'll still row boats without you! :P

    NF med/heavy and the leman russ would be the most immediate similarity. That's where the similarites end imo though.

    You havent noticed the subliminal messages? Every few minutes i swear I can hear:

    "Death to the enemies of the Imperium! Paypal 5$ To Krenzo!"

    And those don't have any resemblance to WW1 tanks at all.

    the NF arty tank sorta looks like one, just with a big f off cannon on the back of it. anyway it seems to me like its a pretty obvious play on the battles between the nazis and communist russia. the empires mg turret looks alot like an mg 42, their helmets bear a huge resemblence to nazi uniform, the arty tank loos alot like one of those stug/stig whatever theyre called heavy tanks and their logo is alot like the iron cross of bravery etc

    Any similarities between other games either past or present is purly coincidental.

    The NF tanks are based off of WW2, and so are the Imperial guards. That is the only similarity I see.
