Empires is currently a Half-Life 2 modification that saw its first public release for the HL2 source engine on July 1, 2006. Empires is an anachronically futuristic First-person shooter mod based around resource gathering, vehicular combat and sabotage. Empires' gameplay is split into two distinct forms, that of the commander and that of the soldier. Both players experience a very different sort of game. The commander's experience is that of a real-time strategy game like Red Alert or StarCraft. The commander (COMM) can expect to:
- Gather and spend resources
- Place buildings for construction
- Research upgrades to strengthen the team
- Give orders to units
