I have been curious, so this seems to be the perfect place to ask.
So what is the deal with empires? What is the purpose and what do you do with them?


Thanks,

Empires are a group of people that have banded together under one name. they usualy have a set of guidelines that they play the game to. You might also find groups that have formed around such ideas as the star wars movies (ie the jedi empire). It is basically a way to further your enjoyment of this great game by adding a bit of community spirit.  It also helps to give you something to strive towards as all 'empires' are also given a ranking, and all of them aim for the coverted no1

Pop in to the diplomats empire website for details on our empire.

You may also like to pop into our forum > The_Diplomats_Forum

Then give me a shout if you have any further questions spellforce@galciv.org

Good luck in your hunt

Don't join any empire for now, stay alone until your heart has been touch by the need to submit your sword to one of the empires.

JEDI REPUBLIC RECRUITMENT COMMERCIAL - TELEVISION FORMAT - PRELIMINARY

[[Opening voiceover]]

This public service announcement is brought to you by the Jedi Republic.

[[Opening music - Vader's "Imperial March." Opening shot - wide angle of a planet under attack by Drengin corvettes. Switch to closeup shot - Drengin mercenary is honing a Ginsu knife set as Midwestern farmers scream in background]]

The saga...is FAR from over!

[[Panoramic view - Hundreds of Yor ground force phalanxes march in perfect machine formation, mercilessly gunning down cutlass-wielding pirates]]

Threats to galactic stability and order are increasing since the fall of the Old Republic!

[[Switch to interior shot of a smoky, torch-lit, rough stone tower. Crack Altarian PSI-Troopers surround a lone, sweating, shivering wizard, who clutches his staff under their steely gazes. The sound of his knees knocking underneath his tattered robes is VERY noticeable]]

Dark forces are rampant, threatening to overrun us all!

[[Slow fade to black; music volume fades to absolute silence]]

The downtrodden of the Metaverse need a new ally to fight this evil...

[[Light slowly increases, revealing a closeup of Yoda's face, looking into the distance, in "wise old master" expression. Camera positioned LOW - under floor level if possible - so that he appears, well, almost 4 feet tall. Yoda slowly turns and looks down at camera, narrows eyes dangerously]]

"MY ally is the Force...And a POWERFUL ally it is!"

[[Roll audio of Star Wars overture, a.k.a. "Luke's Theme" - maximum volume. Fast cut to space battle with GalCiv Starfighters (modified to look suspiciously like X-Wings) peeling out of formation into a strafing run against an Arcean battleship]]

ENLIST today!

[[Cut to Qui-Gon, Dooku, etc. wielding lightsabers; chopping, slashing, and generally making a whopping big pile of scrap out of Yor death droids]]

FEEL the Force flowing through you!

[[Closeup of black gloved hand "choking" air; Torian marine in background levitating approx. 19" from floor, eyes bulging; DON'T show helmet on figure in foreground! This is a recruiting tape for Pete's sake]]

STRIKE a mighty blow against the destructive tide!

[[Back to space shot; Drengin Death St - no, TERROR STAR exploding. Use Dolby Surround on explosion SFX; crank up bass so that rumble rattles teeth of audience]]

BE A PART of the rising power for order and justice in the Metaverse!

[[Rapid "machine-gun" montage of images to raise adrenaline level of the viewer. Emphasis on lightsaber and space battles. Insert at least one image each of Leia in Jabba's Palace outfit and Amidala in skintight white outfit from Ep. II for cheesecake value. Also at least one pointless image of Artoo beeping and rocking from side-to-side; the kids always love that one]]

JOIN the Jedi Republic!

[[Music swells to climax of overture. Switch to widescreen. Jedi Knights in line-abreast formation in background, silhouetted, lightsabers ignited. Yoda positioned in the foreground, so that he looks taller/more imposing, in spotlight. Silhouette gives more visual impact for Knights and is NECESSARY to minimize disturbingly dark robes on a few members]]

[[Fast zoom to closeup of Yoda]]

"Strong we are, already...but perhaps...THERE IS ANOTHER."

[[Music ends - abrupt cut to black. Brief pause. Then, yellow text fades in on black screen - NO VOICEOVER]]

The Force is with us.
Is it with you?

I can't take the credit for writing it, I nicked it off the JR website, thought it beat the usual tactic of "Join the jedi, get a lightsaber",

who needs a lightsabre when you've got a bunch of Australians, New Zealanders and a Texan(me) carrying a metal sabre offering you rum?
In an attempt to parody Exar's classic tale (good job on it, Exie),

[Guy with 10-gallon hat and australian falg on his sleeve points a shotgun at a powerful jedi. The jedi deflects half of the shot, but most of it gets his eyes. He falls down, his face half ripped off]

[Insppiring scene of hundreds of troops wearing Australian uniforms charging a heavily fortified Drengin fortress, lots of artilery and starship laser strike support. Walls crumble, the brave soldiers easily take the installation.]

[battle scarred general]
"Twice we fell. Thrice we shall rise!"
[cheers of zealous combatants]
"THE CORN GROWERS SHALL NOT FAZE US! THE FRENCH SHALL NOT RUN FAST ENOUGH!"
[cheers]
[Ride of the Valkyries plays in the background, showing a large capital ship bearing the Aussie flag annihilating four opposing ones and destroying a Borg cube]
(Silver letters on wood-grain mahogany)
IT IS THE MANDATE OF THE GODS. WE SHALL RISE. JOIN AND SHARE IN OUR GLORY (almost illegible letters crudely carved below the inspiriting sign) and our RUM!

good job on it, Exie


Can't take the credit I am afraid, it was written by one Qui-Gonn-Jinn who I believe goes by the name of Samurai Ben now. Cheers Ben
