You've built castles.
Now build a legend.

No. The gate opens at 50 YouTube subscribers, 10 Twitch followers or 500 TikTok followers — or comparable reach on Facebook or Discord. Every legend started small. The program is built to grow with you.

18 or older. If you're under 18, we need the written consent of a parent or legal guardian with your application. Guardians must be 18+ without exception — the watch handles conflicts, confidential information and player data.

Only through the form on this page — applications sent by DM, email or Discord aren't processed. Every one is read by an actual human and answered within 14 days. If we decline, you're welcome to apply again after 3 months.

Your game accounts must be in good standing — no active sanctions for cheating, exploiting or breaking the Terms of Service. That applies when you apply and for as long as you're a member.

Yes. Wiki maintainers, guide writers and tool builders are full members. Since follower counts mean little for that kind of work, we place you based on the monthly traffic and community relevance of what you build.

Same form, different path — just pick the Guardian option. We look for players 18 or older who know the game well and have been constructive members of the community for at least 3 months. There are no set hours or shifts: Guardians give what time they can, whenever it suits them.

It's not a job and it isn't employment — there's no contract of work, no set hours, no schedule and no one telling you what to make or when. You take part because you enjoy creating for Empire or looking after the community, and the in-game rewards are our way of saying thank you, not a wage. Do as much or as little as you like, pause whenever you need to, and walk away at any time without giving a reason.

Every member gets the base package: official assets, early insights and member status. On top come monthly in-game rewards for your rank — one part for your own account, one part to share with your community. They grow with every rank, and hitting growth milestones brings one-off extras. What exactly lands in each rank is something we walk you through when you join.

Ranks are held, not owned. Every three months we look at all placements against the public criteria — moving up and moving down are both normal, and neither is a judgement on you. Drop below a rank's criteria and you get a full quarter before anything changes, then simply sit at the rank that fits.

Life comes first, always. Tell us and we'll pause things for up to 3 months — illness, exams, a new job, whatever it is — and those months don't count towards your rank criteria. If we hear nothing for three months we'll quietly close the membership, and you're welcome to come back whenever you like.

No. Everything granted is bound to your account and can't be transferred — items may never be sold, traded or exchanged for anything of monetary value. Sharing them with your community is a different matter — that's exactly what the giveaway share is there for.

From Rank II upward, yes. We share or co-host your streams on our channels, usually tied to updates, events or sales — and where it fits, we put up an extra giveaway for your audience on top of whatever you already have to share. Scheduling runs through community management.

Because we share unreleased information with you — updates, events and sales before they're public. The NDA is what makes that possible. Everything stays under embargo until we publish it or release it to you, and the date is always communicated with the material. One rule has no exceptions: never hint at upcoming sales or offers to any player before they're public, not in content and not in private messages. A leak — intentional or careless — ends the membership immediately.

No. We don't require positive coverage — fair criticism is welcome and useful. What we do require is accuracy: don't present speculation as fact and don't invent "leaks".

Two separate things. The legal one: advertising-disclosure law applies to you directly as a creator, so content you received something for generally needs marking — in Germany as "Werbung" or "Anzeige". Worth a quick look at the rules where you live, since they're yours to follow, not ours to enforce. The friendly one: we like members to mention they're part of the program and tag gifted items with #EmpireCreator or #Gifted, so your audience can see where things came from.

Use them freely in your Empire content — thumbnails, videos, streams, guides. Don't modify the logos beyond resizing, don't put them on merchandise, and never present yourself as an employee or spokesperson of Goodgame Studios. "Official program member" — yes. "Goodgame says…" — no.

Report it to us — don't publish it, don't use it, don't build a video around it. Cheats, bots, automation, third-party tools and account trading are off-limits entirely. Responsible reports are appreciated, and can be rewarded.

We talk to you first and tell you exactly what happened. After that it would be a change of rank or a pause on rewards, and only in the end a parting of ways. Severe cases — leaks, cheating, hate speech, harassment, illegal content — skip the steps and end the membership straight away.

You do — you keep all rights to your content. You simply grant us the right to share, embed and re-post your public Empire content on our official channels, always with credit to you. Our assets remain ours, and your licence to use them ends with your membership.

Any time, with a short message — no notice period, no reasons needed, no hard feelings. Rewards simply stop, confidential material gets deleted, and the confidentiality part carries on afterwards. Leave on good terms and you're welcome back whenever you want.
