Empires Shitmaps 2026

It’s that special time of year again when we all cozy up, grab some cocoa, and load into Empires Mod to experience the best of the worst.

Welcome to Shitmaps #9, the annual holiday tradition where mapmakers crawl out of their Hammer dungeons to unleash questionable masterpieces upon the community. Expect some great ideas and many not so, and maybe even a few good maps.

This year’s Shitmaps hopes to be even better than ever, with some new shitastic ideas.

Mark your calendars:
Saturday, January 31st, 2026 at 19:00 CET / 18:00 GMT / 13:00 EST / 12:00 CST / 10:00 PST / 21:00 MSK!

[h2]🎉 Embrace the Disaster[/h2]
Show up with low expectations and high spirits. Bring a friend, bring a squad, or just bring your best confused scream when the spawn opens into a broom closet.
One night only: cursed layouts, accidental masterpieces, and community chaos the way it was meant to be.

Happy Shitmaps, everyone!
