[QUOTE="Jan van Leyden, post: 5116401, member: 20307"] I'd start out with the classical Pyramid scheme. To prepare for the afterlife, the emperor has a Magnificent (with big "M) tomb be build for him. Okay, make that some more tombs for his wife, his closes advisors, ah hell, make at a living, breathing necropolis. Lots of tombs are already occupied, so you'll probably have some problem with those restless dead, which the emperor of course must not see. Another crowd pleaser is the Roman idea of combat on stage. Let the mages summon interesting creatures for such events. Summoning is known to have some side effects, you say? Ah, our mages will surely be able to handle this. I wouldn't force the people to adopt the emperor's name. Why not simply giving luscious birthday present to children who happen to bear the same name? Our stressed emperor would have to make sure that his subjects are working hard enough to maintain their beloved ruler's wealth level. Have some mages teleport him around the world with his palanquin and entourage to visit gold mines, manufacturies and so on. Of course the places visited have to accommodate the visitors, so you better enlarge the galleries in those mines. The emperor's statue in the nation's capital must not be of less height than the mountain over there. When the emperor visits the coast, he surely appreciates the ocean's surface being covered by rose petals, regardless of the season. And he won't take "it's just the wrong season" for an excuse when he wants to eat some fresh strawberries. You know, being an emperor and all that is no easy task! :cool: [/QUOTE]
