Empires Version X testing (non official) Awhile ago i found some scripts while going though some old stuff from a couple years ago that were never really finished. I never actually got a chance to test them on a large scale i did however test with a few people. If you are interested please join this group for more details about upcoming tests. These are based on 2.6.9 the time when nothing could actually be push because of the push server was broken. I will attempt to play a normal round of empires with these scripts however i need about 20 people to do that. Thanks to tama testing is now possible via the beta branch Group:http://steamcommunity.com/groups/EmpiresDedicatedtesters How to install Simply right click empires and click on the beta tab next click the drop down menu and select spikes_scripts and thats it.

Please not this test is not official THESE SCRIPTS ARE BASED OF 2.6.9 Credit goes to the previous scripter trickster that these changes are based off.
Ah yes, I remember this match. The change in fire arms made the infantry battles fun and very challenging for both sides. Changes in accuracy made it both a blessing and curse. I joined late in the test so I barely had a chance to field a med tank before the testers disbanded. So I can't say how armour changes played. Always fun times to try out alternate loadouts. Maybe grens with nukes?
