Command From Above
Fight as Four Classes
Customize Your Tanks
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.

Empires Mod pits the Northern Faction against the Brenodi Empire in team-based battles. Players either take the commander role, directing the fight from above, or join the ground forces as infantry.
Infantry can choose among four classes: scout, rifleman, grenadier, and engineer. Players fight alongside squads, while squad leaders can use abilities such as reviving squadmates and calling artillery strikes.
Commanders place buildings and defensive turrets, research technologies, construct vehicles, and issue orders. Ground forces can drive and customize vehicles, including several tank types, choosing their weapons, armor, and engines.
Players who praise Empires Mod often point to its unusual blend of commander-led RTS and first-person team combat, along with the different roles and tactical cooperation it enables. Some remember it fondly as a fun game, but many reviews also say that finding enough players or active servers can be difficult.
