Not sure if this is possible to implement and I probably should put more thought into it, but why don't we go in the direction of the UES? ignore the rubbish parts like everyone cap one base etc... why not have a 24 hour counter, after the 24 hours it counts how many bases were taken/defended by each empire on each server and puts it on a score board. Then you are capping and defending bases not for a couple certs, but to show that your empire on your server at least is the better of the 3, tally it up worldwide and we can see who is the best all round, which will fire people up to defend their honour or defeat the pretenders to the name of Ultimate Empire. again just a quick thought, but it's my suggestion
