My impressions of this Mod.
Quite fun when your over the Learning curve.
IE learning how to apply abilitys and customize your tank.
With Weapons Armor and Engines of choce.
I find it really fun to play, Recently I have been playing it quite alot.
Playing as my favorite class, The granendier (or some thing along those lines)
Shooting Missiles, and mortars on top of my foes heads, with decent accuracy.
Droping mines in high traffic area's getting kills after you stopped playing as infantry to take up a tank.
Taking a Tank armed to the teeth, taking out people who are not used to the game so far.
Once in a while cracking open a APC giving me say 2-4 kills, while "MHWHAHAHAHAHAH"Ing on the mic. :D
Over all I enjoy my self.

@ Adalore :
You listed skills but never really mentioned anything new
.
There are a few tricks in empires such as :
A. 9 mine trick :
As a grenadier with ammo increase, you can carry 10 mines total.
The game has a limit of 8 mines on the field - if you lay one, the first one you placed will go b00m!
This idea can be used to make the grenadier a devastating 1 man ninja-team or even a game winner.
simply lay all the mines at one place, say, the enemy boomtank (comm veh
) and lay the 9th one somewhere else - since all the 8 mines you placed first are at the same place, when the first one goes off it'll set a chain reaction.
That translates to a huge burst of damage to said enemy vehicle / building.
Me and shox turned around a few games in which we were horribly losing - but won due to this ninja run.
p.s protip : use this trick to grief your own comm .
B. APCs count as spawn points and resupply stations - they. are. awesome. There's only one problem : n00bs tend to jack parked vehicles :<.
C. Sometimes, if you drive fast enough at another tank you might either flip it over and cause it to go boooooooooom or the other tank will get stuck up top your vehicle and then, you can carry it around with you.
Jeeps carrying tanks up top is hilarious.
D. if you're comm (or an evil engineer) and you're on a map w/ a small moat - if you stick walls so that they're exactly just ahead of the deepest spot in the stream (where vehicle receives damage) - this'll cause the vehicle that tries to pass over the water instead of a bridge to stop dead right tharr and receive damage. Eventually, they'll start using the bridge - this is where your buddy can put mines to pretty much force the thing to go ka-pewm :>.
P.s caydr - wharr's mah Free HL2?
Send to fox69 (steam acct) or teh.sz.fox@gmail.com (emailz).
p.p.s : Team frub wants YOU. Play with meh and shox as a team so we can do moar funky teamwork crap :<.
