All you need to play is a web browser.
1000AD Home Page
Instructions
All fields are required. You are allowed only 1 account per game. If you are found using
multiple accounts, all of them could be deleted.
Your e-mail address will stay confidential.
The more you put into the game, the more you get out. We have a very active community of players, and even a chat room on IRC via the game. And the social aspect of the game is therefore very important, and fun. Make new friends, and fight new enemies.
These rules are created to ensure that everyone can enjoy a fair game and for your protection, where the best player will come out on top, not the best cheater. If everyone sticks to the rules, everyone will benefit from it.
Anyone breaking or suspected of breaking these rules is liable to deletion and/or a permanent ban, with or without any warnings!.
We reserve the right to alter these rules at any time.
1) Abuse of the GAME(1000AD) or its GAME STAFF will not be tolerated in any shape or form and delivers the worst penelties we can think of.
2) Each player is only permitted to have one (1) account. If you are caught playing more than 1 account your accounts will be frozen or deleted and your e-mail addresses banned. If you are caught with several accounts, your IP address or entire IP class will be banned.
We will trace down any usage of multiple accounts.
However if you share an IP/Compter connection with someone you must not do any of the following:
a. No aid is allowed between shared IP's, this includes market aid. Market aid is defined as selling to someone at a drastically reduced price and thereby taking a loss in doing so.
b. You may not attack one another.
c. At the begining of each round you must notify the GA's that you are sharing and give empire numbers.
This rule applies to those visiting other players homes, schools, cyber cafes and such. They are all considered a shared IP and the only way the admins have to prevent multis is to enforce this rule. If at any time during the game you share an IP then aid and attacks will be restricted for the duration of that round.
If, however, you would like to start over, you can delete your account from the game itself, and create a new account.
Things you MUST NOT do include:
a. Creating or registration of an account for a friend/family member.
b. Taking ownership/trading an account that somone has offered to you.
c. You must never give your personal login details to anyone.
Even if they pretend to be Admin!
d. Taking care of someone elses account is not permitted, they have a vacation mode if they are away.
e. You must never allow anyone else to enter your account.
You shall bear responsibility of everything that happens in your account.
Any questionable actions will be charged towards the account owner.
Note : You are allowed more empires in the test game, but other rules are still applicable.
3) Individuals or groups of people found to be attacking themselves out, whether it is using multiple accounts, or having their friends do it, will be banned immediately. This is considered cheating and is not tolerated. a) Freelanding falls under this rule. Freelanding is either parking/hiding army or having no to little defense in the hopes that you will get attacked enough to lower others % of attack against you.
4) Individuals or groups of people found to be "feeding" themselves resources/weapons or having their family/friends do it, will be banned immediately. This is considered cheating and is not tolerated.
5) Excessively abusive language is not tolerated on the forums.
This includes, but is not limited to, your empire name and allaince name in the game and ingame messages.
Taunting opponents is fine as long as it is role played.
6) 1000AD now has an honor code rule in effect. This means that, if you are aware of an individual or a group of individuals cheating, and do not report it to the Game Staff, you may meet the same fate of those who were cheating. example. "You know a member of your allaince has multiple accounts, but you do not say anything about it because you need him/her. They get caught and you are found to have knowledge of thier cheating, therefore you too will be deleted from the game. This rule counts for any cheating.
7) If you suspect someone of being a "Multi" OR cheating in anyway please report it directly to the game staff at: admin@empirewars.net
Do not post it on the boards , it is for the admin staff to deal with.
Include the game and your empire number, thier empire number and a brief description of what they are doing along with any proof / times you have.
Where appropiate annonymity will be assured.
8) "Bots" & "Managers"
At NO point do you have any valid reason to be using any other program in conjunction with how the game is presented to you through your browser. This includes so called managers and macros. No program is allowed to have access to your browser. This also includes so called "Bots". Any tools or programs you use that gives you an added advantage and is not cleared by Game Staff and made available to every player is deemed illegal and therefore cheating. Having programs or tools to enable mass mailing is also forbidden. Users reported for spamming, sending messages to everyone in the game, will be investigated and deleted.
Any program which allows you to appear online, thus initially prevent attacks on you will also be considered cheating.
9) The use of proxies to play the game will not be tolerated. We realize that there are certain instances where users are forced to connect to a proxy for web access and those instances will be allowed. Any use of public proxies will result in deletion per the admins discretion.

15)Camping has now become an enforced rule in game. Camping consists of being online longer than 8 hours (in blitz) in a 24hr period and sitting with a mostly attacking army, lurking and waiting for targets. Please get a life and allow others to play thier turns too.

Other ways of exploiting or abusing the game is also strictly forbidden, all and any accounts that are found doing so will be terminated with, or without warning.
Please note that these rules were not created to restrict the playability of the game. They were created to actually enhance the playability of the game, so that everyone can play under equal terms and conditions.
Before you post anything on the boards or ask for help, please take advantage of the help/document files provided, or ask your team mates.The Game Admin will generally be very cooperative and answer most questions. But requests for any type of reimbursement or to reveal player or game stats will be ignored, so do not bother to ask.
