What are advantages/dis-advantages to joining a team?

Im just curious. Now that Im getting the hang of this game I thought Id try and go a step further. I dont have a very high score yet but I believe that Im getting more addicted to this game the more I play so Ill be adding to it. I really like the G.R.O.S.S. Empire's logo but there has to be more to it than that,lol. Do the different Empires have thier own websites with game tips and such? Thanks in advance for any info!!! arlblaster

Most of the major empires have their own websites, where they have empire info and other such things. In addition, each empire tends to have a theme to it. For example, G.R.O.S.S. is a pirate empire, they have many evil players. ANZAC, on the other hand, is an Australian themed empire. Of course, my own Jedi Republic is self explainitory. If you click on each empire and go to their metaverse page, they should have links to their offsite pages. For starters, here's the one for the Jedi Republic: http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/jedi_republic/index.html

Joining an empire is all about flavour. It has no effect on your game playing just on the fun and sense of community you experience. You can even create your own empire if you so desire. Empires fall into two categories, the 'open' and the 'invite only'. FOr an open empire you can just click on the empire in the metaverse and join. For an 'invite only' empire you need to get a senator from that empire to invite you in (they tend to be a more defined group based empire). There are a number of good threads on recruiting from the various empires. the thread titled 'Pitches for new recruits' (use the search function to find it) is particularly useful for you in that the different empires say what they're about. Hope this helps.

Have you been in the empire forums? I'm sure that if you had any questions, the overlords/senate of the empire would be glad to answer them. Here's a quick link to the Jedi thread: http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GF&id=78433#100404

arlblaster,

Joining an empire definitely adds to your enjoyment of the game. I highly recommend you visit as many of the empire's threads as you can and do visit our website at this http://www.angelfire.com/rings/fellowshipgalciv We have some very good resources for players including some strategy and FAQ sections.

By the way, you're more than welcome to jon GROSS - and don't worry about the rules. We're pirates - we don't have rules. You can join and leave if you want.

Actually, anyone in theses forums is likely to help you.... and there are a number of good strategies available.

GROSS is the original evil empire and the most infamous set of space pirates in the Metaverse. We are also the most active empire on the message boards -- both GROSS and Pirates of the South Seas are our threads. We are also notorious for crashing other threads in our raids.

Happy raiding,

Cypher

Wow,thanks for all the info!!! Ill scan the different sites tonite while Im watching the football game. When I first started playing I tried to be good but ended up chaotic good,now I find myself leaning towards being chaotic evil. I could care less about the well being of bugs, giant squid, worms or any other un-civilized life form but I do have a weak spot for human experiments,lol.

Funny true story... I bought a boat a couple of years ago. I am kind of partial to pirates so I tried to find a Jolly Roger to fly (with no luck :( ). I did buy an eyepatch and a pirate hat. I even called my son swab but my wife drew the line at my responding to all her questions with " arrrr matey".

Hey join any team and enjoy the ride, but if you want a team with a decent crew then you already know who NO to join. If you know what I mean. LOL

Arlblaster, why don't you join an outfit with small numbers like ours.

Come and help out a poor weak woman...I'll be nice to you. Nudge nudge.

If you watch football, you can't be American, not unless it's womens football.
World championships are on you know.

Sooo, you need to steer clear of the American teams. ;)
Especially Caleb, Seth and the Bible Punchers from the Mid West. :D

No recruitment thread is complete without a post from your friendly Evil Empire recruitment officer. .Join the Evil Empire The Evil Empire offers several reasons to join such as:

Be Evil. This one alone is a good reason.

Visit strange worlds and cultures

Destroy strange worlds and cultures

Enslave strange worlds and cultures

And of course, your free 5000 torian slaves

But, you must be evil to join. So go forth and conquer evilly.

Make love not war is an old saying when you want to storm the universe with party palaces and such.We offer the most exotic pleasures the galaxy has ever seen.
If you prefer to ride around in decked out party palaces that are used to sway alien civilizations to our way of thinking then the PanGaea Coop is the place to be.Heck even Terror Stars are allowed as moving halls of pleasure to keep alien culture under our thumbs.If they don't like them,then we can dispatch them.

We are a young up and coming empire that sets no rules on its members except one- PARTY :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:

Here is a link to wet your whistle on http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GF&id=93266 and one to check out our website hosted by the honorable AntonChanning http://www.kiamagic.com/pangaea

Hope to see you aboard.

Arghh. matey.

Join up with the pirates, fly the Jolly Roger on your ship, and plunder these bilge rats. It's fun to hear them beg isn't it?

Once you're a pirate, you can help yourself to whatever you want from these lubber empires.

Happy Raiding,

Cypher
