    I'm working on a infantry based map using mainly trenches and flag captures. Works kind of like Urbanchaos.

    The fighting would be similar to WWI with machine gun emplacements and charges and whatnot.

    I'd make the name a bit more unique. Also, try to restrict vehicles. In the last Empires trench map, tanks pretty much negated any possible fun.

    Don't we already have an emp_trenches? That one that has like 8 refs in your base then trenches that all the newbs get stuck in? I liked that map...

    lol! That map was a noob driver trap. It was not uncommon to see 5-6 abandoned vehicles.

    Yeah but there was a hole you could crawl under the map in. So it rocked

    Didn't need a hole. If you got a jeep/LT/AFV/APC with anything but standard or biodiesel you could literally drive up the side walls and then fall under the map. I saw several cases of APCs spawning endless amounts of infantry under the map.

    Yea - please download emp_trenches here on the forums and run it with your 2.23/2.24 client (some things might be borked, but it should run). Go ahead and spawn and drive some vehicles around the map. You'll see what people are talking about. That map, although fun at times, was full of problems. Make sure you can avoid pretty much all of the problems that map had, and you'll have a head start.

    Also, you need to choose a name that's not already taken, and that won't be associated with the mess that was emp_trenches. :)

    Good luck with this, it'll be nice to have a trench-oriented map again.
