I came, I saw, I conquered
Feb 5 2011, 9:36 PM EST
I'm just asking for your guys opinions on after the infection or whatever has ended on empires? because it seems to me like a good idea for certain reasons.A couple of benefits: 1. if you have conquered all the local factions in your area that would effectively end warfare and bring peace and unity among your people. 2. allows you to gain a lot of power with virtually no opposition since you have already destroyed all your enemies in your invasions. 3 finally the main good thing would be you could bring a sense of normalcy in a large area like creating your own single local currency or something. So i just want the rest of your guys opinions on what are the pros and cons of making an empire 0 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

1: The larger the group the harder control would be. Plus rarely has conquest killed rebellion and every conquest adds to the rebels numbers. As to unity you are right. They will be unified...in killing you off.2: You only have as much power as your forces grant you. That power shrinks the larger the opposition becomes. 3: Dictatorships rarely bring normalcy. Maybe you should focus on being an underling. Safer. More on #1: In addition to adding enemy numbers with every conquest yours will grow smaller since your own forces will suffer casualties making the continuation of power even harder. 3 out of 3 found this valuable.

"look at all the empires in history, they all ended badly or well, but with civil unrest.With the idea of democracy, people believe that all men are equal, and lead will always back it up. Therefore no empire will be able to survive unless you disarm the populace, an idea that won't get you any help, unless you want to breathe from your lungs directly. Do you find this valuable? |

I still sort of cringe when someone claims that they are going to be the leader of a group after SHTF, and they will make a lot of change "for the better".
