Modifications and the Community


One of the things that drew me to Empire and Empire Deluxe way back when was the capability to make your own maps and scenarios. This afforded me countless extra hours of game play as I explored the creations of others. This was pretty rare back then, with only a few other games like Breach/Rules Of Engagement allowing users to make their own scenarios (Games like Doom/Quake had strong communities for modding even without official tool kits to assist, and that really create some fantastic things..). To me it showed the power of creativity is with the fan base. That is why I started the map/scenario page for the 1993 game to collect this creativity.
This 'extra stuff' for game play is why I have always tried to add capabilities within the game to make modifying it a little easier, and this is documented in the manual. This is not an easy challenge in design and development, but hopefully it is rewarding for the community and adding more playtime.
Stepping on the soapbox - I was just watching a promotional video on recent games available and they are actually now just boasting of at least 15 hours of game play for $40....the great games give you 100+ hours stepping off.
I recently received a document from 'Thoba', who has done a lot of Empire modding over the years and is currently working with others on a WWII mod. He shared with me a document he put together about working with Transparency in the game. Here's a link:

and there are other items in that repository:

I would like to thank those in the community like Thoba that have created maps/scenarios, graphics and shared them with the community. I know they have gotten enjoyment out of doing it, but they have also shared that with others. Their individual creative efforts take things in a direction I could not even imagine. So thank you for sharing. And if you have not shared but have a map or something else you often go to for that extra enjoyment, please think of sharing it with us either by uploading the map/scenario in game or posting about it. It is the player community that makes the game better than I can.
[ 2022-01-03 15:09:39 CET ] [ Original post ] Empire Deluxe Combined Edition is the latest in the classic Empire Series of games, which has spanned almost five decades.
Empire Deluxe is a game about taking cities. Starting with just one, the city enables a commander to produce units. These units in turn can directly attack or support the attack of more cities. Your imperialistic desires are not satisfied until you have taken every city on the map.
Then there is an added complication:
There can be multiple opponents with the same goal. You cannot work with them to capture all of the cities. They don't want to work with you. You must work against them. You spend a good amount of time preventing them from taking your cities, and you try your best to capture their cities.
So come back to the classic 4x strategy wargame that has inspired so many other games!
Features include
- 4 Built-In Unit Sets, each a progression from the previous: Basic, Standard, Advanced and Enhanced.
- Anywhere from 6 to 30 unit types, some including land, naval, air, submarine, artillery, engineers, satellites, missiles unit types.
- 3 uniquely different AI players
- Optional additional rules and victory conditions.

- AI player source code available online to make your own AI players.
- World Building C# source code available online to make your own map makers.
