Thanks for downloading the Empires Custom Map Pack.

Credit goes to all the mappers of the maps included in this.

emp_blah4 (Mayama)
emp_bush_ob2 (Silk)
emp_coastal_beta3 (Tysn)
emp_delta_rc2b (Metalsmith)
emp_escort_ck_rc3 (Doobie/Cyber-kun)
emp_hazard_rc6 (Blight/Omneh)
emp_homeland_b6 (Flounder)
emp_king_r5 (Chris0132)
emp_research_1_1 (Jimather)
emp_shadows_rc10a (Cyber-kun)
emp_slaughtered_2_21 (Hellion/Omneh)

emp_theinternetisforporn4 (LordDz)
emp_traders_a8 (CoffeeBurrito)

Also, by installing these directly instead of from a server, you will gain access to some particle & sound effects not downloadable by the server.
To try these maps out with other people, I recommend joining a popular server which will have them in rotation such as emp4all (Euro) or Nachos (US).

Thanks, Trickster.

Where's mine?!

 

yers is phail.

anyone got links for traders_a8 and hazard map?

 

Don't include beta's. Map packs should be final releases only.

 

except most empires maps NEVER reach the final stage. The only one i've seen so far is emp_king and even it is still being modified.

 

Ok, I shall rephrase. Ne EARLY betas. Give the maps till at least beta 2 before they they are added. If a maps in beta, it means it needs testing. If it is in beta 1, the first test, it shouldn't be in a map pack.

 

Arklansman is making optimisation magic on slaughtered as far as I know, and then it will probably go in the next release of Empires.

I hope to get it back beforehand though, since I really, really want to redo the pipe supports.

 

The only early betas there are research and Coastal.

The rest have had like 4 betas minimum.

 

Mayama:
emp_blah4

I need to speak to him, emp_blah3 was fine except too much res, but emp_blah4 fixes this but incorporates some new brush problems, there might need to be a blah5.

Where is the brush problem???

 

i dont think a map pack is worth the effort. versions change pretty fast atm and the game dls the files automatically anyway.

thank you. dont know how i missed that.

 

I have a new version of Homeland - Beta 6. I finally broke down and added a a player clip so you cant get onto any of the buildings (you can still get on to a small garage or two if you really want). It also has good res flow now too.

BUT THE ROOF EXPLOITING WAS AWESOME

Not enough rooftops in this game.

 

My next map (well technically it's not all mine) is all about this.

 

No offence but I hope not, the maps too dark
I found the fullbright version to be 10x better

 

QFT :beaten_nf:

 

Thats fixed as well. D:

That version you've been playing for ages was, ya'know, a test release. Not the finished product.

It might not even be included at all if things go badly...

 

What about giving slaughtered glycenshitty lighting :D?

People would love that (not)

 

What about keeping my thread on topic?
