'''Caledonia''' is a friendly trade nation in the +,+ quadrant, founded in August of 2018 by Wingzero54 and meat312, both of whom are Yoahtl ex-pats.
It is connected by rail to [[Iria]], [[Pripyat]], [[Entrana]], Freedonia, and the former [[Brotherhood of Steel]]. It is connected to the 0,0 - Mir rail through the Iria rail; to Vinland, New Yoahtl City, and Westminster through Entrana.
It is well known for being a welcoming nation full of nice people and for its Securemall, the whitelisted shopping building that requires pre-approval to access to purchase enchanted diamond tools, armor, and weapons.
Caledonia welcomes any new players looking to get started,
Although it is a fairly young nation compared to many of the other established civilizations, it has quickly grown prosperous and may be considered one of the wealthiest nations on the server. <br />
Line 127:
Both March and April came and went with a slow pulse of activity, mainly due to the competition of rivaling server CivRealms. At this time in Classics history, many players were fed up with what was seen as a bad job at addressing issues by the Admins, with conflicting Admin opinions on the more toxic elements of politics, and also the seeming lack of drive by the admins to try to play with the plug-ins to make the server better. The Infinity War had tested people's nerves and the playerbase had been worn thin. The 1.14 update had become a myth and many people were just tired of it all. CivRealms presented a very tantalizing alternative, and many people migrated away form Classics. Caledonia didn't migrate wholly in itself, but several prominent Caledonians began playing more on realms, launching a business to make money on the opportunity filled fresher server. Some Caledonians would hang around and build things here and there, but all was quiet on the Classics front. Other games caught the active Caledonians eyes as well, affecting play in Caledonia even further. To make matters worse, Meat had decided after dealing with a lot of stressful things going on in his life, that playing video games just wasn't good for him at this point, and so quit, officially leaving Wing the only reigning Consul. The admin/developer Maxopoly officially announced that 1.14 was coming soon after a last bug testing period midway through April. Some were hopeful this update, some weren't and some chose a middle ground of healthy skepticism. Whether this would breathe life back into the server or not was unknown at this point.
===Monarch Era (April
==== The Development of Corinth
[[File:Cal Claim 7.png|300px|thumb|right|Caledonia Seventh Claims]]
Due to the recent focus on Corinth and with all the new growth there, Wing had decided to effectively build new factory and government storage infrastructure in the novel city, thereby designating Corinth as the new center of activity of Caledonia as a result. As the Month of May came and went with spring along with it, minor improvements were made here and there, with business otherwise usual. SwordMaster continued to chug away at terraforming the desert, a task that was proving to be long and arduous, but with much sand cleared away, prospects were looking good for a new big project with all that free real estate. Figuring the terrain of the cleared desert was mostly destroyed anyway, SwordMaster would flatten and pave much of the cleared area in an effort to allow an easy build space, especially for big builds. A plan was formulated for this area to be used for an amusement park, with tons of fun activities such as spleef or king of the ladder. The paved desert would prove itself very desirable in such a prospect. It was even dreamed that this place could one day host a Caledonian [[Olympics]] (an idea that was oddly enough scrapped by Wingzero several months earlier) but for now, it would just be a place to promote more in-game interaction. Somewhere in mid-May, leaked plans of a possible [[Nro'Meagh]] invasion into the majority of the Southeast quadrant brought up the possibility of claiming new land should this come to fruition
==== Server wide V-day (July 19, 2020) ====
The year-and-a-half-long [[NATO-Mir War|Infinity War]] had been called off after the Hallow, Best Western, Vault 76, and Geo vaults were sieged and disabled by skilled PVPers.
==== Founding of Arrelani ====
Three swamp islands were purchased in the west, nearer to 0,0 than any Caledonian land before. Old, abandoned buildngs were repurposed into factories and warehouses for new farms being added in the area. Major crops included cocoa beans, vines, sugarcane, bamboo and jungle logs. Arrelani is a territory of Caledonia, and though it is brand new, the location is highly strategic. There are three known End portals in Civ Classic, one of which was nestled underneath a newly aquired swamp island. Darthorangejuice, a citizen who joined the server in late February dug an inverted pyramid to the portal in the overworld for better accessiblity. In the End, she started reconstruction of sections of [https://imgur.com/a/ZDWBG Peter's Castle], the fortress surrounding the original portal out of the End, which had seen many separate waves of obby bombing and griefing.
To enter Arrelani by rail you must either take 0,0 to the end portal or take the connection from the W to E rail that crosses 0,0. A station is set up in the small town of Farmville, and has a connection line to the capitol city of End Gate, which features tree bridges connecting buildings along the sky instead of ground paths.
=== Season's Greetings (Septermber - Present) ===
==== Saying Goodbye ====
Wingzero54 ascended to server Adminstraor-hood on September 30, leaving Fredhun14, Hockey328 and darthorangejuice to lead Caledonia as praetors in an oligarchy into the foreseeable future. Wing's diamond enchanted leggings can still be visited at the Admin Church in Aberdeen, with a plaque that reads, "The Admin's Underpants - the last worldy possesion of Wingzero54".
Darth announced plans for Spookdonia, a three day Halloween-themed building competiton open to server wide participation at the end of October. Preperations have begun to clear land in the West of Aberdeen, restock Securemall trade shops, and construct a new hotel for visiting builders to set spawnpoints and store materials. Prizes of xp will be given out to the best buildings and a large celebration will follow the end of the event.
== Geography ==
Line 160 ⟶ 175:
The Southeast is the most remote region of Caledonia, due to the majority of it being the Southern Island which is covered in a near-inhospitable mesa. The Peninsula is more palatable, except that it stretches a long distance out from the nearest city. The current most developed place in the region is Wheatland, a large wheat field built by the Irian Retyu in the savanna of the Southern Island.
Despite the challenge of building in this area, SwordMaster
