Imperial Creations
From GenieWiki
Imperial Creations is a design team for Age of Empires II that was created by the merging of several teams over time. These teams were GwameMI6 Productions lead by Gwame, Hell Creations lead by Ruler of Hell, Charlemagne Arts lead by Leinad Le Grand, and Treehouse Creations lead by Mr MI6 (a former leader of GwameMI6). None of the teams were doing very well, and had little members. Ruler of Hell was the first to suggest a merge. Hell Creations merged with Charlemagne Arts, but kept the name and site of Hell Creations.
A few weeks later, RoH suggested another merge, this time with THC. Mr MI6, agreed to the merge as long as a new name and site was made for the team. RoH, LLG and MI6 asked if GwameMI6 wanted to merge aswell. It took a while, but finally GwameMI6 agreed. Then, all the leaders got together and decided on the name Imperial Creations. At first it got a site made from a Zymic template. Later on, Gwame made a new site with many more features and better forums. The team even bought the imperialcreations.net domain around that time. The site had SMF forums with around 58 arcade games which everyone enjoyed. Everything was running smoothly at the time, and the team was picking up. Then, Leinad le Grand and Mr MI6 decided to leave the team, both of them gave up AoK altogether. But not much of a difference was made and the team carried on fine. Unfortunately due to unforeseen host problems, the entire site and forums were deleted. It had just reached 1000 posts and members were annoyed by this. After a month or two of inactivity, a new hosting plan was bought by Gwame, and the site was rebuilt, this time with IPB 2 forums. This is the site used currently. After completion, the old team members were notified, and started posting again. This is where the team is now. The team is becoming more active, and has multiple projects in production. Another merge occured a year later - this time with SparkyFire Studios. Stu183 and Map_Designer, the two leaders of SFS became leaders of the new Imperial Creations, along with Ruler of Hell and Gwame. It was decided to use the Imperial Creations name and website as the webspace had been paid for and the site was completed.
