Ive got many mods, and they all have no players at all. Im currently downloading Empires, but are there enough players on it to have a good game? Do many people play Empires? Thanks.
There's usually at least a server or two full of players at peak times. At the moment, the official server has 32/32 players playing with another server of 18 completely full. Remember to download the 1.06 patch and the 1.061 commander fix from http://empires.cw-hosting.net/showthread.php?t=775
Compared to some other mods, no, Empires does not have a very large player-base. Considering that the team is holding off on the media fanfare until it's in presentable condition, though, it's understandable. There are usually enough people online to get a good game going, if only on one server.
Well I've never seen less than 20-30 people. Currently there are 79 players. If you have a download limit you can always check http://steampowered.com/status/game_stats.html for the number of players. If it satisfies you ... go download it. But I must say, there's always at least one server with people, but that doesn't mean all of them are as capable as you'd wish.
Heh. There's almost never a time when there wouldn't be players. Hell I played on a full European server full of Europeans 3.00am this morning. A goddamn 28 player server, full at that time of day. :D
Indeed!! Even if everyone suddenly dies, keep playing Empires! We need you! The 'team' is holding off the media until it's good? I'M A PART OF THE 'TEAM'!? Yay! (Seeing as how I made a sucky way-too-epic promo video)
This mod has fantastic potential though, it offers hundreds of gamemodes whereas most other mods offer... One...
Actually I dont know any mods that only offer one in their design document not a lot anyway, most mods have different gamemodes, only type of mods that really dont have a lot of gamemodes are mods that are going for lots of strategy and even most of those have different game modes
I like alot of mods, most of them just bore really fast, like Hidden, Dystopia... The only mods I still like are CS:S, Empires and HL:CTF.
Well currently empires is ahead of dystropia right now in terms of player count. Krenzo's beta pwns your game ^,^
Dystopia got boring after first two games. Empires on the other hand... Well I don't know why, but it has become the most played mod for me. It even surpasses DoD(traditional) in my book.
HL:CTF is fun because it's like HL: DM but with a purpose... And it still has the hyperactive sugar pixie stick squad of ADHD doom feel to it.
pritty often i only see 3 servers with any one in them offical and stormed#1 and #2 but thier are quite a few others
