    1. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9641062/emp_nuclear/empires.rar for quicker download (the file is uploading and should be up within a few minutes)
    1a. Extract files to a safe location
    1b. Copy files into the steam/steamapps/common/empires/empires folder
    1c. It should ask you to merge/swap some folders and files. Agree to all of these.

    2. Start Empires

    3. Find my server in the Server browser

    4. Join and play!


    I hope to get a decent playercount for at least one game. Let's go let's go~

    Soon (tm)

    I need to add more custom sounds, among others. BE has a couple that are still unused, and I need to pester someone about NF stuff.

    Only thing I noticed was a couple of sounds sounded rather low, but you were aware of that already.

    Just want to say the only real problem I had was the spawns on the forest flag. I kept spawning in a corner between the cliff and the barrier walls, getting stuck for like 2 seconds which was really annoying.

    Ditto.


    The northern approach is impossible to get through if be has half a brain.
    God forbid they have both halves and care to defend south.Really hard to get in unless be really fucks up.

    Cameras are a real mixed bag. They prevent you getting shot in the back all the time, but make pushing really hard.

    Fuck anything with the part "shot" on this map. It really would have been a fun thing to play, but no, people cant seem to play without instakills. Yey. HMG is also *fun* though unfortunately to some i knew how to deal with that.

    Was i mistaken to see that both team can close and open the gate? Thats grief bait right there.

    Yeah both teams can open and close the gate and the control room door. Also getting is pretty hard indeed, but correct use of vehicles makes it much much easier - whoever was driving that medium around was denying so much ground on the forward bunker.

    I'll look into the abandoned camp spawns too.

    Yeah, the height of the vehicles does allow nf to spam mg fire he cannon or at the top of the bunker, it is just at higher player counts this get hard because of all the grens running around. It is really a case where nf has to really work together. A approach someone could try us have engys build walls right in front the bunker and have some people cover him, it can actually work.

    Intended playercount is around 6v6 aka what we played - note how BE ran out of tickets, and the just-about-right amount of action with that amount of people :) Video from the game will be up tomorrow.

    Yeah, the shotguns kinda mess with how you would realistically expect the game to play out. It was either everyone as rifleman with the autoshotgun or engineer with regular shotgun, no grens anywhere. I think in that match though I didn't see that many engys on the be team, or they weren't reviving at all.

    In the last one ive seen one guy actually support and revive his teammates on be. One person out of six cared for the teamplay.

    For like half the game I was walking around and into people while you were pushing in, I really wanted to show the sounds.

    And then I got stomped in the final area ;)

    I do like the custom sounds. You two should get in contact with Angry and redo the BE voices Polakstyle. :)

    thats an actual region - http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galicja_(Europa_Środkowa)

    for all that nationalist bullshit you guys fling at each other on the forums you know very little about your nation - but thats not very unusual either, probably more like common among nationalists ...
