The Olympian Gods

Beware Their Wrath




Welcome mortal to Mount Olympus, home of the gods. I, Zeus, have allowed you to journey here to prove your worth and to see if you shall be allowed to join us in the control of the universe.

If you manage to show that you are worthy by achieving 25 victorious battles or 100,000 cumulative points than we have decreed that we will bestow upon you the Glorious Title of Senator.

Let all those that are in our presence tremble and despair. We threw down the mighty Titans and will Prevail in All our Doings.





Some Important Things to Know About This Empire

One doesn't need to be one of the Olympian gods, any character is fine!

This is an Open empire, so anyone can join. I will try to keep up with who is joining so I can send a friendly hello.

Hard work and perseverance pay off. I will award those that accomplish such tasks with a Senator position.

I think it is important and my duty to help new players and learn from veteran players. I promise that this empire is here for the player!

A Little About Your Emperor

SILVERBEACHER (Main Character: Zeus)

Born and raised in Michigan, Silverbeacher, or Silver as he is commonly called, is a college student at Purdue University in Indiana where he is majoring in Political Science and Pre-Law.

He first came into contact with the Galactic Civilization Universe in the summer of 2003, with the first game in the series. He found the game very enjoyable but never did partake in the original Metaverse. A few years later he came across the sequel, Dread Lords, at a local Best Buy, and began trying out the new and improved game.

At first, he never visited the website or the Metaverse, but one day, while seeking answers, he hopped onto the GalCiv2 website and the rest as they say is history.

Almost immediately interested in the Metaverse, he began looking for an empire to join, originally checking out both the Galactic Diplomats and the High Command Hegemony. It was in the threads of the HCH that he came across Neilo and MarshallONeil. Neilo had only recently left the HCH-which had become a very quiet remnant of its former glory-and had formed the Tyranny of Evil.

In the summer of 2007, Silver joined the Tyranny-or ToE as it is often referred to as. Meanwhile, Neilo, had also been appointed the "leader" of a new way of competing against other MV players, the Metaverse League. Silver originally sat out of the MVL, fearing that he was not a good enough player to compete alongside such game greats as MottiKhan and Mumblefratz, but eventually did decide to join in the middle of the third round, where he even managed to get a speed bonus point for his team.

Due to the rapid growth of the MVL, a new team was needed for Round 4, and Silver gladly submitted his name to be the new captain of this team. With this, Team E-or more properly, The Eternal Villainy-, was founded.

Silver had captained the Villainy for three rounds when Commissioner, and fellow Villainy teammate, Neilo, decided to step down from his position as Commissioner of the MVL. At the request of Neilo and others, Silver accepted the nomination to be the new Commissioner of the MVL. After a close, but friendly, election, Silver was named the new "Commish" and Round 7 of the MVL was his first round under his 'leadership'.

It was also at this time that Silver decided to form his own empire, which he named the Olympian Gods. For a while, Silver remained a member of both the ToE and the Olympian Gods but eventually, decided that he wanted to focus all his attention on the MVL and Olympian Gods and so said goodbye to his Tyranny brothers to venture out on his own.

And that is how we say, is that.

My dad was a Vietnam vet as well. I think the biggest problem of that war was not the soldiers but the politicans. I say round them up and drop them into a hot lz and then see how much they want the war to continue. I can remember hearing a saying that old men start wars and young men fight them. I don't see where much has changed. I'm find is amazing that a president who sent his Vietnam years protecting Texan airspace has the guts to send National Guards to fight abroad. Texan national guard..... Wow you have got to ask yourself how did George Bush, a WWI combat pilot and former CIA director raise such a wus as a son? Anyone remember how much heat Dan Quayle took about being in the National Guard rather than going to Vietnam. New Rule -if you have ever been a cheerleader, you cannot be president.

Our soldiers have once again, like with my Dad and all his Vietnam vet buddies, have been played by the politicians. Anyone who talks bad about our soldiers, ironical forgets that its only because of our soldiers that America is a coutry where such free speech is possible. While I personal might like to give them a beating, I stand by the idea of free speech.

OK, now I am totally pissed off!! I had got a virus on my computer that totally hosed it up. I tried everything I could think of to get rid of it but I finally wound up reloading my computer to the original specs and I lost all the games that I had on it. So now I have to restart the GalCiv games I was playing (I was bouncing between 3 giga maps-2 for the ToE and 1 for the OG's).  X-(  I was just about done with 2 of them and now after playing with them for weeks, I get the joy of starting them over! Being that I downloaded DA straight from the site and didn't get a disc I'm hoping I can find the stupid key to redownload it. Oh well, my life just keeps getting better and better.

I got my MVL submission in early this round so I've been plugging away at some games for the Empire.

SB, while you were off keeping what happens in Vegas, in Vegas, we've crept up a bit in the altmeta. It's just a matter of time before we pass my old empire, the HCH.

You guys have been cranking games out. Ares, God of War, is woefully lacking in his participation. I must rectify this problem.

P.S. Rectify? Damn near killed em!

Why not scores like this in the MVL? Congrats anyhow.

Reply #115 Top
Did we have a 100K game in one of the very early rounds? I seem to recall maybe Mumble and Motti both getting 100K games.....

Regradless, very nice score on a medium map Ferrel! :CONGRAT:

Thanks guys.

It's an interesting setup. Stars are rare. Planets are occasional. Habitable planets are abundant. 9 opponents, 8 minors. This gives you a map that has 1 star system per opponent with 3 additional star systems containing all the minors. At the end you only wind up with about 30 planets, but if you take all the minors and all your opponents homeworlds you'll have 18 capital worlds. Rush the minors early and you've got it won. Then score grind.

I did something similar in one of the earlier MVL games but the other way around. I seem to remember having a round where you had only 1 or 2 opponents, with the minors set to random. So there ended up being 3 stars that had 7 minors assorted on them. So I basically rushed to planet invasion and took out the other AI opponents first (except for some small planet they colonized). Then I came back through and took out the minors, since they sit there and basically do nothing but buy my stupid techs to keep my econ afloat.

we're gonna see a drop in our scores today cuz I'm clearing Zeus's scores. But I should have them back up to a respectable level by the end of the weekend.

If you keep clearing your scores you're never gonna get your 1,000 games medal. Or have you given up on that dream?

Why?
Reply #121 Top
@AC: i haven't but i had gone for my Purple Heart very early on (5 defeats, all <1000pts), and also my first 10 scores (the most "important" ones) were all below 10k; so I wanted to restart where I was more consistently scoring at least 25k or higher a game.

@Zarth: Because my Zeus character had nearly 700,000 AltMeta points and once those disappeared we dropped in the overall rankings.

Looking good SB. I should have a 100K map done by the weekend, now that my MVL game has been submitted.

As a side note, it seems that an awful lot of small new empires has cropped out over the last month or so; my guess is partly due to SoaSE crossover, but who can say for sure. Though as quickly as they have appeared, they have also disbanded. Go figure.

Anyhow, we're hanging in there for being as small as we are, and we've gained a few here and there. Won't be too long before I can really turn my attention back to this.
