  1. Well gang, here we are in mid 2023, and EMPIRES has officially launched, near on target with my 3500 vote bonus. Fun facts; By 3500 bc we saw the rise of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia; and 3500 years ago Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Shang dynasty were all thriving.



    Now the time has come for EMC to see the growth of new empires, and we want to hear all about YOURS!!

    This giveaway will have 1 random Grand Prize Winner to be awarded a shulker chest of gold, diamonds and other goodies, as well as 500,000 rupees to help your new empire grow. You will also receive an Imperial Crown (a renamed skin of a crown), Imperial Armour, as well as my new Raaynn head (just the second of these to be given out).





    In honor of Chickeneer getting burned out doing all the programming required for this update, you will also receive various pieces of our developer for display in your own museum.

    To start everyone out here is my own; (and no, DND does not stand for Do Not Disturb as some have ventured to guess)

    Empire of Oerth
    DND

    As an old fan of AD&D, several of my builds on EMC are based on maps and modules of my favourite game ever (including table and also video games). My 5th year event was in fact based on the map of Ravenloft Castle (which can be found on Utopia still). Oerth is the name of the old continent where the original players of the game had created the City of Greyhawk, and all of the accompanying modules as well. Currently I have been building from a map of a parallel game, in order to recreate the Halls of the Elven King from Middle Earth. Plans for my future empire include the expansion of many many more AD&D themed builds!

    Fun Fact; Though I did build the Tower of Knowledge on smp6 based off of the original Ultima video game, the new DnD game SOLASTA also has a Tower of Knowledge within its realms...

    CASTLE RAVENLOFT
  2. Empire of Narella
    NRLA

    Rising to power on SMP1, A empire focused on detail & aesthetics while also containing farms for everything, a haven for members & to be entirely self sufficient. Therese a long list of projects yet to be undertaken and our growth will only accelerate as more members are recrurted.

    Cheers to chicken for slaving away for hours on end punching this update out for us all!
  3. The Redwood Empire
    [REDB]


    This empire controls a SMP5 outpost called Redwood Bay. A small loosely fantasy, medieval style village at the edge of a Taiga forest. I've been working on this alone for 3 years so far and there is still many projects to do. One of my goals is to have others join in. There's plenty of room to build a house.
  4. 1. It's called Minecraft_Paradise with the MPO tag for short, and controls the vast Minecraft Paradise Outpost in the southwestern part of SMP6's frontier.

    The Minecraft Paradise Outpost was founded on June 17, 2015 by AnimalGirl120, BreezyMan, zBugle and me. We and FerretArez had mining bases in the SMP6 wastelands for months, but we were frequently griefed by a few rebellious members and knew the place would reset eventually. Once BreezyMan offered the rest of us a place to go via a nether portal along his nether rail, the MPO was born. Eventually, nine more areas were claimed on behalf of the MPO, ensuring that we had every major overworld biome that existed before 1.13.

    The early days of the MPO were chaotic. Two of its founding members frequently came into conflict with one another during the remainder of 2015, and the capital city was partially flooded by unknown griefers four times in five months. Ultimately, things settled down in 2016, and the MPO reached its golden age. The outstanding contributions of Echelon815, FerretArez, finch_rocks_1 and Scarmanzer were eventually sufficient to warrant full citizenship similar to the four founders.

    Ultimately, the MPO declined in 2017 and '18. It was pretty much dead by 2019 apart from MrAdazahi's occasional activity in his city of Ternaves. However, I returned in 2022 after nearly four years of shame-driven inactivity, enticed by the possibility that a friend or two could come along (which happened, but not in the way I expected). Like before, my main goals are to grow the MPO until it reaches its former glory again and set up a twin megamall with my mom Echelon815 to fund enormous projects there.
  5. its called MOO MOO LAND building on it but its mainly a infra structure based oupost farms no real builds besides the ice high ways and the farms ar moetly devorated by the fryedmans we own the oitpost together but on paper hé owns it may add pictures

  7. Midland
    [GUTS]

    The name it's an homage to my favourite manga, Berserk. The kingdom (then empire) of Midland is very much central and pivotal to the story (that I won't spoil in case anyone decides to give it a go*) that sees Guts as our main protagonist.
    I am planning to build a giant (it will require ~90DC of building materials) monument in honour of the passing of the author, but I still have to figure out where this could be possible/good (Need to strike a balance between accessibility and surrounding area).

    I am personally not much of a builder. I started the outpost to have a space with my wife. I made a giant hole in the ground (also known as "perimeter") with a mob farm in it. GrumpyRedPanda7 is trying to do some decorative build, but it's a slow process, and she's focusing on her residence at the moment.
    I built a mini-warehouse at the access point to our nether tunnel.
    QuantumBeane&co. joined us a while ago and they're also digging a hole in the ground for a separate and different mob farm.
    I tend to work alone, so progress can be slow.

    *: if you think you want to give it a go at reading it, be aware of every possible CW. It is very much NOT suitable for kids.
  8. The Empire of Acemox2k is a grand and glorious land. As its ruler, Acemox2k, I have secured the tag ACE. While there are no citizens in my provinces, I will be pleased to welcome like minded individuals to help further the mission. I am a long time resident of EMC and built a well stocked, substantial residence. At one Point in my time on EMC, I had aquired "Aikar treasure slip" found in a remote location. I displayed it proudly for some time until i moved (IRL) into an area with terrible internet. Someone offered me ONE MILLION for it! I gave it to them for FREE and signed off of EMC for some time. I was going through some depression at the time.... I dont know who it was i gave it to, but it hangs in somone elses musem now.

    I came back with a vengence to return to my plan to explore and build. I welcomed new players and stocked my residence. It has been capable of giving support to many new players in the form of bits of Armour, stacks of food for planting their own crops and their first enchanted items. I invited many newcomers to tour my residence for ideas. I joined in 2015, to this day, I still have storage lockers of other players in my residence lower levels. I allow them to freely access them as they please. Years ago, players trusted me with their prize possessions because they were in fear of loosing their own residences because of real life situations keeping them from fulfilling log in criteria to maintain their own residence. I loved going out into the community to help seasoned players with their projects like gathering heads for a banner maker and working a tree farm machine to fill a different players shops orders.

    What I truly loved was going out into the untamed wild and setting up little outposts. Just a little respite from the hazards of the world. I would stock them with basic items like food, armor, a couple of weapons and try to make them look kind of cool. I always thought it was neat to run across something like that when I'm playing. If your hurting out in the middle of nowhere with no food and health running low, weapon good or bad, you need help and a place to catch your breath. Low and behold, a rest stop! I dont know how many people found them, or if they were even usefull but I enjoyed doing it and thats where the fun is. I know some were found because they were destroyed. :[ Thats ok, because now we have anti grief, but more importantly, the ACEMOX2K Empire will be involved in looking to provide aid around the far reaches of EMC.

    The Acemox2k empire will focus on assistance. We will be out and about and in the mix. I will focus initially on creating a storage facility for every type of product known, the engineering phase. There will be trips to set up locations for relief stations. I plan on meeting with other Empire owners to ensure I am not infringing on their land and to get their idea on where they would like to see it put. If my build (relief station) is found to be in your borders, please contact me, I am only attempting to install relief stations for assistance for all. I welcome all input to make it easier for players to find safety and relief items (if still available in chest) If possible, everyone can take what you need and leave something as well. I would like to make a sign in book at each location so it can be looked back at who has been at each location through time.

    My hopes of a large storage facility would allow donations of large quantities of product to certain events or to assist in repairs of disasters. I want to make this Empire the goto when someone has a problem.

    Acemox2k is not looking to be paid for these stations nor be compensated for product given to disaster assistance or certain types of events. We are not a FREE source of easy product. We are an Empire of citizens who choose to work hard for the joy of the game and the help of those in need. In time a store will be set up where citizens of other empires and general players, may travel to and purchase product safely instead of risking their lives gathering what they need for themselves. A delivery service is in the plans down the road as well.

    The main goal and mission of Acemox2k is to set up relief stations and attempt to gather and store every type of product of EMC. I expect my citizens to traverse the far reaches of ECM, get involved in events and socialize with other players.

    Thank you all for reading and any support for my Empire

  9. Galaxy Empire - {GALA}

    The name is basically a happy medium between the theme of Obwangottemm (Obiwan's "galactic republic" empire) and my interest in stars, constellations and the overall beauty of the galaxy.

    I guess the purpose of our Empire is to have numerous farms for almost everything farmable to provide materials for our shops that people can buy from and sell to. It seems as though shops with the option to sell to have been scarce nowadays and I think it's important for the community to be able to have that, not only to help circulate rupees but also help newer players have a place to go to gain a rupee balance and/or provide the materials they need to create their own empire. Which in turn, I think would encourage them to continue to play.
  10. Seems we should have our lands near each other. You should come out to my outpost in the Fronteer to see what I have started in collections storage sometime. Its not much, but its been in the works for some time and its the foundation of Empire Acemox2k.
  11. I am the owner of Empire tagged Katy with an Outpost named Katy Built an Outpost.

    The intent is for this to become a public use complex of farms to supplement Utopia public farms. It is still in planning stages as town has my focus and energy at the moment.
  12. Welcome to the Riverwood Cult
    What is the (CULT) of Riverwood, you may ask? It's a small collection of 47 residences on Smp1 dedicated to a medieval theme. Small shops, public utilities, and Riverwood secretes await those eager enough to explore it. (We might even have an outpost or two ;)) The CULT even has embassies on each Smp including Utopia to accommodate weary travelers (/v +cult). Being inoculated in 2015, the Cult has seen its rise and plunge in members. Its come to our attention with this recent update that new growth is apon us! Pm if you are interested in joining the CULT! /v 2112 on smp1 for more info

    (PS: Many projects are still in the works!)
    (PSS: Ask Riverwoodmonk for our pamphlet on the Witness of the Holy Astral Toad)

  14. KatyBuild owns the
    FireFly Outpost [Ffly]

    This land is dedicated to all fellow bugs in the Katydid family. Minecraft will be re-introducing fireflys at some point to the game and Katydid will reign as the Queen of the Fireflys.

    This land is ladybug and bee friendly, with an emphasis on leaving the land as natural as possible, while welcoming travelers to the beautiful lands.

    Fireflys are Forever
  15. LOL :rofl: :lmao: Are extra flowers for the bees welcome? I have a lot of azalea bushes that can be grown into trees with flowering leaves and extra poppies from iron farms, and in some cases I can't use enough of them! Maybe you could have some whenever I get overwhelmed if you want!
  16. Mars
    [MARS]

    So you are interested in visiting Mars, earthlings?! Well... I do not blame you.

    Living on Mars presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Here's a summary of what it would be like to live on Mars as an earthling:
    • Atmospheric Conditions: Mars has a thin atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide. It lacks a breathable atmosphere, which means humans would require life support systems and spacesuits to survive outside habitats.
    • Habitats: Martian habitats would need to be built to protect against radiation, extreme temperatures, and low air pressure. These habitats could be underground structures or specialized domes that provide a controlled environment for humans to live and work.
    • Water and Resources: Mars is believed to have water in the form of ice at its polar caps and possibly underground. Extracting and utilizing this water would be crucial for sustaining human life, providing drinking water, growing crops, and generating oxygen for breathing.
    • Food Production: Martian settlers would need to rely on hydroponics, aeroponics, or other innovative farming techniques to grow their own food. It would be challenging to cultivate crops in the Martian soil, which lacks nutrients and has harsh conditions.
    • Energy: Solar power would likely be the primary source of energy on Mars, as the planet receives abundant sunlight. Additionally, nuclear power or other advanced technologies could be explored to meet the energy demands of the colonies.
    • Communication: Due to the significant distance between Earth and Mars, there would be a communication delay of several minutes. This delay would impact real-time communication and necessitate autonomous decision-making by Martian residents.
    • Health and Medical Care: The Martian environment poses health risks, including exposure to radiation, decreased gravity, and isolation. Extensive research and medical support would be required to address these challenges and ensure the well-being of the inhabitants.
    • Exploration and Science: Living on Mars would offer tremendous opportunities for scientific exploration and discovery. Researchers could study the planet's geology, search for signs of past or present life, and deepen our understanding of the universe.
    • Psychological Factors: The isolation, confined spaces, and long-duration missions associated with Mars colonization could have significant psychological effects on individuals. Psychosocial support systems and strategies would be crucial to maintain mental well-being.
    • Sustainable Development: As a long-term goal, creating a sustainable Martian colony would involve developing technologies for resource recycling, efficient energy usage, and minimizing the reliance on supplies from Earth.
    Living on Mars would be an extraordinary endeavor, requiring extensive planning, technological advancements, and the collaborative efforts of scientists, engineers, and astronauts. While it poses numerous challenges, it also holds the potential to expand human horizons and pave the way for future space exploration and colonization.



    In summary, the purpose of the Empire of Mars is to push the boundaries of sanity and normality on EMC (in a good way). ;)
