Alpha-1 Empyrean city node information panel.[1]

The government has a lot of say in the direction of the node's development. Directing assets, building projects, tax allocation, defensive ability etc. Players have the ability to not only create these cities, but they have the right of self-governance.[2]

Mayoral leadership powers are granted to mayors via the use of mandates.[3][4]

  • Declaring war on another node and rallying citizens to the cause.[10][22]
  • Mayors will have an emblem generation suite that allows them to create their node flag.[29]
There definitely are differences... Some of the things that mayors can do are more universal, but then some systems have very specific if your node has a certain dominant race, or your node is a certain type, or it's in a certain biome. So there's even differences between where it is too.[31] – Chris Justo
  • Some decisions require the mayor to be present in the ZOI of the node. Most do not.[32]
  • If a mayor does not make certain decisions within a set period of time then the system will make a decision for them.[33][34]
Q: The idea behind all these nodes are awesome, but I wonder how it will actually play out in the live version. The problem is having player run or the problem with having player run towns is that people come and go in video games. So, will towns die out etc?
A: We incorporate as part of those designs certain fail-safes, certain protections, certain automated progression that takes over when some of those decisions are lacking or are not made; and those decisions can be defaulted. Now, of course, that would have a deleterious effect on the direction that a particular node might want to go, because they're going to be doing default behaviors, or default actions, as opposed to something that might be in line with the strategic objective of that particular node, or the specialization that the node has previously been attempting to do. But that is why we have a regularly recurring election period where players can take the reins of power and can elect someone else to come in and participate and and re-right the ship, so to speak. So it is absolutely a component of having player-driven mechanics that there is an opportunity for things to be less than ideal, or less than strategic when certain bad-faith actors or people leave, but there are safeguards in place.[33] – Steven Sharif
info-orange.pngSome of the following information has not been recently confirmed by the developers and may not be on the current development roadmap.
  • Choosing a node name from a predetermined list.[35][36]
  • Guilds do not control nodes.[37][38]
    • Guilds hold separate roles in the direction of the node than the roles held by private citizens.[2]
    • Only a certain number of guilds may participate in these roles.[2]
    • Separate guild roles are reserved for small, medium and large guilds.[2]
