Hello.

I would really like your advice.

I EVE, how do I become a warlord who orders forces to attack structures and conquers regions?

I want to advance my forces onto enemies, and have them submit to me or be crushed.

Do I need to go to sov null to accomplish this, or are there plenty of opportunities to become an armchair general in NPC null and lowsec?

You have failed the first step.

You do not ask!

You state you are a warlord those who do not bow down to you will die!

So you are a minion!

Or pretend to be one! See if any perverts will give you ISK for imaginary boob pictures. If they give you the money for one perverted picture send them a picture of some fat dude from the internet.

I sat here for a good 5 minutes trying to think of a way to phrase this but... Roll

The WTF? is just too strong in this one.

Become charismatic forum troll.

Gain lots of followers.

Its an incomplete plan right now, but im telling you...im halfway to my first milemarker part way to the midway point of step 1.

Nobody trains charisma.

You could become a pirate warlord!

Simply gather your merry band of pirates and find a nice piece of low sec to inhabit and terrorize. Then, don't forget to run screaming whenever neighbouring alliances pop out of nullsec to use your "kingdom" as staging grounds for one of their cap fleets!

Do YOU like to undock?

not sure if serious

here's the steps needed anyway

1. be a tolerable, likeable person
2. know what you're doing in the game (sometimes) and be willing to help others
3. make friends
4. grow a corp that's tolerable to be in, make sure you generate interest for the members, make them want to log on
5. don't **** it up
6. spend too much time in the game, grow the corp, facilitate members, promote people able and willing to do the same
7. don't **** it up
8. don't **** it up

the majority of people fail at step one, two, three, and four through eight

Step 1: Project a persona that is crazy yet mostly likeable. We're talking the kind of "crazy yet likeable" that builds pseudo-cults.

Step 2: Create an "inner circle" of people that can support, cheer lead, or (at the very least) tolerate your colorful, yet predictable insanity. Just make sure that they are all within "leg breaking distance" in real life (or buy them a few beers... whichever is less messy).

Step 3: Accept that not everyone will like you and punish offenders accordingly.

Step 4: Never bite off more than you can chew. At the same time, never make promises you can't keep. Failure reeks of weakness (unless you can make that weakness your strength).

Step 5: Delegate, delegate, delegate. Being a warlord means you will be busy most of the time making threats and being insane. If you can accomplish a task by sending a rookie into the fire... do it. No need to get your own hands messy.

Step 6: Keep things interesting for everyone. Have your close supporters bring in or build a bunch of ships for "suicide fleets" or kill an underling/ally in dishonorable combat... just because.

Step 7: Money is power. Make shrewd deals with allies and enemies alike... just make sure your "inner circle" is aware of these deals.

Step 8: Quash all dissension and consolidate your power. Make an example of anyone who questions your authority... preferably in the most colorful way you can (who says using capitals to gank a lone industrial is overkill?).

How did you Veterans start?
