Calling your own thread dead, Seth?  That would be a self fulfilling prophecy in most cases. 

 This thread is alive!

Was there ever a doubt?   

I give this thread LIFE!!

Breathe...1..2..3...4...5...Breathe!!!!

Ahh...there we go....

3...2...1... CLEAR! (zap)

Okay it's alive again.

So this is your empire seth. I like the Spore picture you have their, it looks awesome. How did you conceive the idea of 'Geckodon Alliance'?

The idea started with my love of reptiles. When I first got Galciv 2, I came up with an idea for a race of reptilian warriors, I had no idea what to call them but I came up with the Geckodons. Also here is some info on the Geckodon,

Origin of the Geckodon Alliance: 1900 years ago on the Geckodon homeworld of Geckonia, several countries had just finished a major civil war that nearly destroyed Geckonia and so in order to prevent that from happening, all of the suriving nations had formed into one nation known as the Geckodon Alliance. Shortly after this, a unkown ship crashed on Geckonia. This lead the Geckodons to discover new technologies including hyper drive.

Biology: The average Geckodorian (male Geckodon) is about 7 ft tall and has a muscular body and have a snout like that of a crocodile. The average Geckodain (female Geckodon) is about 5 ft tall and has a very slim body also Geckodains have a much smaller snouts than Geckodorians and Geckodains have a fin like appendage on the back of their heads, Geckodorians don't. Another difference is that Geckodorians have a killing claw on each foot, Geckodains don't have a killing claw. During mating season a Geckodorian will try to get a Geckodain in love with him by making his scales change color into any color in order to impress a Geckodain, if the female isn't impressed she will make a hissing sound and move on to the next Geckodorian until she is impressed, also they can lay up to 20 eggs how ever only 10 will surive. Geckodons can have a life span of 130 years.

Society: In Geckodon society, Geckodorians are allowed to do almost anything they want, they can go where ever they please, they can tell their wives what to do, are allowed to participate in combat, can go to school, can own property and are allowed to have jobs. Geckodains have no say in anything, they can't give orders, they can't get jobs,can't go to school and can not go outside their households unless they wear a special bracelet around their ankles, although there are exceptions with empresses. Everyday, a Geckodorian would go to his job, the young Geckodorians would go to school, while the mother and her daughters stay home. Geckodon society is split into three classes. The first is the Working Class which consist mostly of merchants, shop keepers, industrial workers, medical workers, civil defense workers and farmers. The second is the Military Class, which consist of military personal. The final is the Goverment Class which consist of the Chosen Council and the Emperor.

Culture: Geckodon culture is a combination of the Japanese, Greek and Eygyptian cultures. Items, such as clothing, blakets, curtains, paper, are  made out of a material similar to papyrus. Instead of letters, the Geckodons use hieroglyphics. When it comes to clothing, Geckodorians wear two shoulder pads with spikes on them, also they'd wear chest pads in the shape of a skull and a loin cloth. Geckodains wear small dress than go down to their ankles. Geckodons enjoy the art of fighting. Most of the entertainment through out the Geckodon Alliance involves combat.

Military: The Geckodon Alliance has a military known as the Jusai. Soldiers are trained to be strong and sucessful. If a Jusai soldier does not do what he is told to do or fails, he is then whipped, shocked or severly beaten. Jusai starship captains, officers, admirals, pilots and generals are trained to be loyal to the Geckodon Alliance. Geckodains are not allowed to join the Jusai.

Goverment:  The Geckodon Alliance is a monarchy ruled by a male member of the  Geckodon Royal Family who is a true decendent of the first emperor of the Geckodon Alliance. When his mate lays eggs, only one will be kept while the other 9 are eaten. When the child of current emperor turns 13, he is taken away and brought to the Chosen, a council of eight Geckodons who live to protect members of the Royal Family, who will take care of the child. Once the young Geckodon turn 15, he is put into stasis until the current emperor dies. Once released, he imeadietly takes place as ruler and the cycle goes on. One the most interesting things about the Geckodon Alliance is any territory that is not connected to the main sphere of influence and has at least one colony is considered a state within the Geckodon Alliance, a state is ruled by a wealthy Geckodon who is chosen by the Emperor to rule the state until it is connected to the main sphere of influence.

Religion: The Geckodons worship a deity known as the Great God of War who according to the Geckodon Religion, had lived with several other deities and slaughtered them. Little else is known.

Nice write-up Seth, I dont remember seeing some of this information before.

Sentient species taste better...

Sweet!, I have yet to think up a race let alone an entire history. Maybe I'll just take one from another story and just make them up. I like the thought of the Klikiss, insects from saga of the seven suns. sleep for 1000 years them wake up and fight with eachother to become the dominated breedex. then produce offspring that scatter then sleep for another 1000 years and fight all over again. perfect circle of life and fighting. not to meantion anything settling on their planets at the time often get eaten to produce another breed of klikiss. it's a very entertaining series, and the klikiss are a master peice of the imagination.

Actually I wrote this in late September. Also I finished the Gigantosaurus,

nice... I better start planning a few custom ships of my own... Can't trust these default ships to for-fill their purpose.

Yeah, that's why I made a ship style for the Geckodons as well as a tech tree. It's currently avaible on the library.

I am a new player and am wondering if I can join your empire? I've played for two years on intelligent/tough and am ready to play I don't know how to join an empire though?  

Welcome to our newst warrior, Ch4os. May you bring us many victories.
