Imperialism!

With this plugin, you will be able to create your own empire and rule the server! Create an empire, claim a base, slaughter all opposition, and take absolute control. All land will be protected if you have the reputation and power to keep it that way. TNT cannons and fire are another story though >:) Ally other empires, or declare war on them. Send raiding parties and scouts to gain resources quickly. Unhappy with the ruling empire? Instead of creating an empire, create a rebellion and squash those unworthy to rule!

Technicalities

Empires

With this plugin, when you join a server, you will be able to either create or join an empire or rebellion. If you choose the option of creating a new empire, a name, a motto, and a tag must be specified. After this, you are free to invite others into you empire and to create a base.

Rebellions

If you have decided to create a rebellion, a name, motto, tag, and the name of a rival empire or rebellion must be specified, hence the difference between rebellions and empires. If your rival group is defeated, you can change from a rebellion to an empire.

Your Base

The first thing you will most likely want to do when you create a new empire or rebellion, is to set up a solid base of operations. You will be able to claim chunks for your empire/rebellion. The amount of land you can claim is determined by your empire/rebellion's reputation and amount of members. Chunks that are claimed by you can only be broken by you and those in your empire/rebellion. The only way for opposing groups to alter claimed chunks is through the use of TNT cannons, fire, or lava, or by claiming your land for themselves if you do not sufficient rep or members to keep it. Please note that chests are not protected! This is to create a need for more clever tactics and the added fun of raiding people for supplies. Hide your valuables well!

Conquest

Once you have established a base of operations, you can set out to conquer the server. Reputation is acquired by killing other players and raiding other's chests. Higher reputation makes a more powerful name for yourself and allows you to claim more land and expand your empire.

Misc.

You cannot hurt members of the same rebellion/empire. You cannot hurt members of an allied empire/rebellion. When war is declared on another group, it is publicly announced and if you defeat them, you are rewarded with all of their land, half of their rep, and of course any chests and goodies they may have.
