    Now that its been a few days from initial release with no major problems, its time for Empires to push for a slightly larger presence in the greater gaming community. Please post below any news/gaming site you think would be good to advertise Empires. Also, if you personally know people who run the aforementioned site, it'd be great if you put me in contact with them. Remember no site is too small or too obscure to advertise Empires.

    Examples:
    Planet Half-Life
    Half-Life Fallout
    Halflife2.net

    we want to attract people from this site and sites like it, and since they have a hl2 news section...

    they may not create the largest influx on people, but they will bring potential directly useful people

    rock paper shotgun has a weekly mod news report, we would fit perfectly in there.
    Also please post news of 2.25 to both Empires steam groups.

    I can post somewhere, but it'll just attract a bunch of CS noobs so probably not a good idea.

    That's ok we could use some cannon fodder for these bigger games. The real survivors will stay with the mod and the rest will have provided some temporary rank points

    If you guys know any server admins on any other source game see if they can advertise Empires. It probably won't be so helpful but when 1 friend tells his friend, and when it continues, we will be big.

    Yes Interlopers is a site I went to to check my compile logs and get some mapping tutorials, posting there might attract modelers and other useful mod developers.

    Use cl_drawhud 0 to remove all HUD elements (like the minimap).

    Also, keep it up guys! I can certainty contact some of these people, but feel free to advertise Empires if you know them personally. Its more effective that way.

    You also need to not make it look like ass.

    Like, bigger text, maybe a color that doesn't fade into to background, something that doesn't read like a thirteen year old wrote it; simple improvements really.
