Starting out!

Here is the essential inspiration and passion behind eRa: Empires over the last several years has constantly been witnessing an influx of brand new players to the game, whether the players are FPS veterans or RTS veterans, or have little experience to multiplayer online play to begin with. I believe it is the consensus in public matches that when your entire team does not know how to work together in their individual squads or has little knowledge of how to play and how to win, it is extensively frustrating to the experienced players in the game. I know this is true for myself.

It is the objective of eRa, then, to recruit players anywhere from completely new to somewhat new to Empires. The Empires Recruit Academy will provide recruits with a clan-like atmosphere and a sense of community. There will be a ranking system similar to that of the United States Army, where there will be enlisted non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers. It is the job of the commissioned officers to provide instruction, encouragement, and discipline (wherever necessary ) to the recruits and enlisted and non-commissioned officers within eRa.

So eRa will strive to instruct and hone its recruits skills and knowledge of Empires, making these players more valuable to the game of Empires, and hopefully providing at least more challenging public games. The aspect of eRa that makes it deviate from the traditional clan is that it does not expect to hold on to its members. As our members grow and become better and more valuable players, eRa expects and hopes for them to either find membership or receive invites from other clans, join the cause of eRa as a commissioned officer, or just go solo if they so desire.

With this, I would like to ask support of other Empires clans, and I would also like to ask for help from other experienced players in this idea. I believe it has great merit and much can be achieved out of it.
