[Interactive Forum Game] EMC Empires - Era 1

Introduction to the Game

EMC Empires is a turn based game that takes place on a 60x60 map in-game, but can be completely played in this thread. The main goal of the game is to be the last man or allies standing. Throughout the course of the game you will capture resource generating outposts, build an army, and conquer your enemies.

Each player's territory is represented by a colored wool on the map.

Win Conditions
There are two ways to win in EMC Empires:
1. Be the last player standing, meaning you defeated all the other players. This will count as a domination victory.
2. Be the last allies standing, meaning you and your ally are the last two standing. This will count as a diplomatic victory.

Grand Prize
Domination Victory: 100,000 Rupees, EMC Empires Trophy Head, gold block territory (if the player plays another round).

Diplomatic Victory: 50,000 rupees each.

Current map as of turn: 1

Sawmill
A captureable outpost that generates 10 wood per turn for each outpost the player controls.


Quarry
A captureable outpost that generates 10 stone per turn for each outpost the player controls.


Research Center
A captureable outpost that generates 1 research point per turn.


Iron Mine
A captureable outpost that generates 5 iron per turn for each outpost the player controls.

Turns
Each player will take their turn on this thread (or in a private PM with me if they do not want the other players to know what they did that turn). They will have 8 hours to take their turn or be skipped. The time limit between turns can be voted on between current players of the game to be increased or decreased.

During their turn a player may move a unit up to 2 spaces in any direction. They may spend any research points they have, and build/upgrade a structure if they have the resources and a build is not currently going.

Alliances
A player may only be allied to one other player at any time during a game. Being in an alliance allows the players to cross over each other's territory without conflict, send each other resources, and defend each other's structures. If a player chooses to break off an alliance they must remove all units from the other player's territory, and may not attack the former ally for 3 turns.

Trading
Players may trade resources with other players they are not at war with. All a player has to do is offer a trade to the player they want to trade with via the EMC Empires thread, with what they are offering and wanting to receive. If the other player accepts, the resources will be transferred next turn.

War
Players can not attack each other by default, but must declare war. Players CAN declare a surprise war but will be limited to one space movement for the first 3 turns of the war. If a player does not want to suffer the penalty for a surprise war, they may declare formally and wait one turn before attacking.

During a war, players may take resource outposts from the other player, take territory spaces, destroy units, and even siege the enemy player's capital. If the capital is taken from the player, that player is eliminated and the victor gains +20 wood and stone per turn, and +10 iron.

How to capture a structure on the Map
If the structure is in neutral (white) territory, all you have to do is move a unit on top of the square the structure is on.

If the structure is in another player's territory, you must be at war with the player to capture the structure. If there is no enemy units on the structure, you will capture it automatically by moving onto it. If there is enemy units on the structure, a battle will happen and the victor will hold control of the structure.

How to capture Territory
To change a square on the map to your color, simply move a unit over the square. You may use the "fill" tactic to capture territory, which means you can create a box around multiple squares, and capture all the squares when you complete the box.

If you wish to capture another player's territory, you must be at war. If there is no enemy unit on the territory you will capture it automatically. If there is enemy units on the territory, a battle will happen and the territory will change to the color of the victor.
