= Brief Description =

Ancora is a town settled in -,- and occupies the island under The United Volterran Empire. The island is elevated above water level approx. 100 blocks and the summit is an extreme hills biome where the buildings are located. It has past roots from the Civcraft 1.0 city: New Augusta.

= History =

See the Event Log for a brief overview of events.

Ancora was created during the first few weeks of Civcraft 2.0 when New Augusta began its reform. Some citizens in New Augusta were unsatisfied of the bureaucratic state the city had fallen into. Progress of the city ground to a halt, and this is when many citizens left and started the town of Ancora with /u/CoolMouthHat leading the way.

During September 2013 CoolMouthHat negotiated with Haven to make it (Ancora) a satellite town of Haven (image courtesy of /u/Dydomite), although not much was heard from this development and the deal probably doesn't hold true anymore.

New Generation

After many months of inactivity (around the week of November 17), the city of New Augusta became interested in using Ancora as a method of connecting the metropolis to the rest of -,-. However, before a deal was made, /u/lightning1789 settled the city once again with a group of players (and established a parliamentary monarch). This was not disscussed with CoolMouthHat, and there were many small conflicts over the ownership of the land.

Lightning1789 provided some 'proof'(subject to controversy), which read that CoolMouthHat had agreed to some terms. CoolMouthHat denied the statement and commanded that they vacate Ancora, but the settlement stayed anyway. There is no public log as to why CoolMouthHat could not keep the ownership of Ancora, but he submitted to the situation and left after much conflict and grief.

Shortly after, lightning1789 apointed Battleborn_Sarin to assist in building the city. Battleborn attempted to start a coup of sorts to overthrow lightning1789, but it was quickly 'squashed'.

On December 2 2013, Ancora had it's first parliamentary 'elections'. One thread was created for the voting, which /u/CivChefVortivask won with 100% spproval. However, lightning1789 did not recognize the thread as valid, and made his own thread for the elections. This caused some conflict as lightning1789 continued to ignore the validity of CivChefVortivask's push for democracy, and tried to keep control of Ancora even while the people wanted a democratically elected Prime Minister. 6 days later after many underhanded deals and threats, he banished CivChefVortivask from the city. (It is assumed he is not banned any longer however.)

On December 16 2013, lightning1789 was pearled by Orion for charges of theft. Ancorans questioned the leadership of lightning1789, and pushed even more for a new government, requesting help and support from the neighbouring city of Orion.

On December 20, 2013 Ancora drafted a new constitution shortly followed by the city of Orion guaranteeing Ancoran independance.

On January 1, 2015, lightning1789 Agreed to join The United Volterran Empire.
