Empires

## Empires Mod: an FPS/RTS Hybrid (Free on Steam) https://store.steampowered.com/app/17740/Empires_Mod/ (gameplay trailer in steam link) "Empires is a Unique strategy/first person shooter mix: One commander on each team plays from above, choosing research, placing buildings and giving orders. The rest fill the role of soldiers on the ground, with four distinct classes to choose from and customizable vehicles to drive." ### Why join us? * **Completely Free:** Available on Steam with no hidden costs. * **Steam Deck/Linux Ready:** The game is compatible (confirmed by members of our community). * **Organized Play:** We have a dedicated window every weekend with a consistent player base. **Like battlefield, but with a commander on each team that commands players like an RTS ### Schedule & Server Info Our main event happens every **Saturday and Sunday**. The server stays active for about 7 hours, but 4 hours is the maximum I can put on here. * **Start Time:** 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM EST / 20:00 CET * **Peak Activity:** Usually hits about 2 hours after the start time. * **Language:** English-speaking. (a lot of our player base is ESL though so as long as you can communicate its fine) > **Note:** Over half our player base is European, and I think the server is based in Europe as well so feel free to show up if you're European. North American latency is fine so no worries there.
