We're pleased that you've shown intrest in joining the Imperators. First off let me tell you alittle bit about our group.
We started out as a Medieval 2 clan called The Dragons. The Dragons were formed in October of the year two thousand and six by Boru "The Butcher"(named after the great Irish King who fought the Vikings on many occasions)and Draconis. Most of us were 30+ with full time jobs but we've since opened our doors to many mature and respectful younger players. Many of our ranks are Rome TW veterans and in April of 08 we decided to revisit our old love, and in doing so we became a true Total War clan. We now play all three total war titles and are very successful. With our renewed love of everything Total War we decided to give our clan a new name...Imperators. The Imperators have been from the very start a democracy and currently we hold alliances with several clans. We're not concerned with getting a huge roster, but finding like-minded individuals with the same love of the game and an honourable and mature attitude. Of course or main goal is to have fun. If your still interested in joining there are a few steps you'll need to follow.

• Step 1. You must read and agree to our code of honor. http://imperator.editboard.com/tavern-f1/imperators-code-of-conduct-t1053.htm

• Step 2. You must register and make a post in our recruitment thread stating your intention to join, and adding alittle bit about yourself. What games do you play? How often are you online? How long have you been playing?, etc. Please try to stay active on our forums.
  
  After you recieve a reply from a Consul or a member of the Senate you can change your name to Rec_Yourname and you'll begin your two week trial period. This isnt a test of your skills(which can be learned) but a test of your comittement to staying with us. The trial period can be cut short at any time by a member of the Senate. When your trial period ends you'll become a full member with access to our sites hidden war rooms and be allowed to wear the Imperator tag.

• Step 3. Download and install X-Fire. http://www.xfire.com/

  Its very useful. We use it to take screenshots, record video, voice chat, record game hours, when a med game freezes you still can chat through xfire. I use it to transfer files to other people, heck I even use it to send pictures to my mother all in all a great comunication device that doesnt slow down youre pc.

  
  And we can see any Imperators playing online.

• Step 4. (optional) Have a microphone and download and install Ventrilo. http://imperator.editboard.com/recruitment-hall-f9/ventrilovoice-chat-t398.htm
  
  Most of us use vent as our voice communication program. I really hate typing and find this much easier, not to mention fast communication wins battles. I highly recommend getting this. We'll supply the server password after you become a full member.
