Is there a monster list of maps some where? Figure there must be, I'm just not having any luck finding it with the thread searches. I'm curious about old maps. I also miss a couple that I haven't seen in ages. Not since I started playing Empires about a yearish or more ago. Two maps I recall and would like to know the names ..... First one was a large house, teams were like toy soldiers. Probably modeled after toy story. Stupidly fun when there used to be many players and one of the reasons I got hooked. Second was an odd one. Ice terrain, large peak in the middle, engies had to repair the ice paths or you'd fall through. Was that one called elevators something? It had "elevators" you rode to the top of the peak in the middle to rain fire down on the other team.
That second one sounds suspiciously like octagons, but maybe someone made a somewhat legit version of it? I never heard of the toy one, unless that was one of those rat maps someone converted to empires. I didn't play empires between like mid 2009 to early 2012, so I don't what was happening between that time.
The first one is "theinternetisforporn" and the second one is "octagons". Maps come and go all the time; there's a large number of maps that didn't get ported over properly and don't get played because of that. There's the list of official maps, but it's hard to imagine making a list of all the custom maps for Empires.
Yeah, it would be impossible to make a list now of old maps that have come and gone. Just thought maybe someone would have kept a tally along the way. Was there issues with maps making from 1.x to 2.x ? Both these maps were around when I first started playing early 2012, I've not seen them in more than a year now probably. Wonder if someone still has them on a hard drive some where. Probably gone off my old machine, I've had to wipe and reinstall steam a couple of times since then.
Aren't those kind of small for Empires? Though I guess things like District are about the same. One of the mini-games up recently has that same kind of "push the cart" goal but it's a little bare compared to TF2. I'm still having trouble getting my first basic map to act right, hurts my brain to think about porting one of those nice maps.
There are a couple threads (or maybe just one) of custom map packs from back in 2009, and it list the maps in there and whatever.
Well look what I stumbled upon. I read about MegaHill. Sounded fun. Wish there was like an old folks home for these VMF files to retire to that I could browse.

Hold the phone There was an update to that map? also emp_slaughtered_2_21 Is that the one that was bit darker and had that pipeline in s bend? I still wonder why that didn't make the cut.
I've made a list of maps I have on-hand, and the last Empires install they were associated with.

Ok, now that's cool. Several maps on there I'd like to see again and others that sounded funl but I never got to. Sooooo where can I buy the DVD collection?
What is this madness!? People like my maps? This is truly the end of the world. EDIT: Found it in a dark corner of my computer. Here, enjoy. Also included is an old version of minigays, because hey why not. (It's the one with 9 games). The maps.
theinternetisforporn was fun, I never figured out how to play it but anytime it was on I had a good time.
You climb up the window, then parachute across the entire map dropping mines like you're a Flying Fortress.
Thanks LordDZ, that's the one. I think it may have been the very first map I ever played on Empires. Mass fun and why I came back for more. Is that your hammer map files in there too? BTW, am I the only one that thinks hammer is a buggy bag-o-crap editor? (At least running on XP_Sp3) After working with things like solidworks, autocad, rhino3d it's hard to believe folks make great maps with this thing. Maybe it works better on Win7.
Oh yes, I'm 100% certain hammer editor has made me insane in a way or two. You get random errors from time to time, crashes when you select an entity, the model browser freezes every second or third model selected and every patch Valve releases causes it to become even more unstable. Here's the vmf, don't judge my mapping skills too hard, it's pretty old. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7315285/Maps/Empires/emp_theinternetisforporn6a.rar
