'''CivClassic''' is a Civ server largely inspired by the success of [[Civcraft]], particularly 2.0. Owned by [[TealNerd]] and moderated by an [[Admins|admin]] team of [[Maxopoly]], [[LordOfMarzipan]], [[Dsclouse]] and [[Iebagi]], it brought back many staple mechanics of Civcraft that had been lost after the downfall of 3.0 and the move to [[Devoted]].
 
CivClassic was made as a result of the disconnect has formed between the direction of Civcraft:Worlds and the player base. As the player base has cited the complexity of the game and the focus of the Civcraft administration, TealNerd wanted to create a new Civ-style server to combine the best of all Civcraft iterations to that point, mostly taking from [[Civcraft 2.0]] mechanics<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/4u5msd/introducing_a_new_server_civclassic/</ref>, but later creating new adaptations to the Civ genre to bring it to the current version of Minecraft.
 
Launched on 2 June 2017, it is currently running at the longest running Civ server, after being active for over 1000 days.<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Vhdz8mHaRapvxn0CyVvNuNv72CgK6QeY2UxbyG53Ak/edit#gid=0</ref>

Much of the server's largest claims in the server's first days were held by [[The Commonwealth]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6franr/commonwealth_claims_in/</ref>, a spiritual continuation of [[Commonwealth (2.0)]], [[Westeros]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6f77nw/westeros_claims/</ref>, a nation inspired by Game of Thrones and headed by ComradeNick, [[Impasse]], a nation made up with most residents of [[Aquila]],<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6lenjy/rapid_progress_being_made_in_impasse/</ref> [[Hjaltland]], an economic and military-oriented group made up of several veterans from 2.0, [[Lexington]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6f3jkc/lexington_claims/</ref>, led by Sintralin and company and [[Gensokyo]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6flrhz/the_heavenly_kingdom_of_gensokyos_territorial/</ref>, a Japan-themed nation dating back several iterations. Several balance and quality-of-life changes were rolled out through June 2017, targeting VPNs, factory processing times, and modifying some minor gameplay elements.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6grsqu/morning_changelog_for_6122017/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6i61jw/changlog_for_6192017/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6jk71x/changelog_for_6262017/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6k7dye/changelog_for_6292017/</ref>
 
One of the first conflicts of the server was the [[Yoahtl-Laconia Wars]]. Growing from a dispute over resources from nearby [[Hjaltland]], the newwar nationagainst [[Laconia]] began on July 4 and lasted three days until July 7 with Laconia's victory.
 
=== The Somber War (Late 2017, Early 2018) ===

Upon Lexington's declaration of war, they [[Jargon|obbybombed]] Westminster<ref>https://imgur.com/a/H5ya2</ref> in an attempt to further deter its citizens from fighting, only to get deleted once the admins discovered they falsified claims about an iron farm duping.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/75l6g5/could_someone_explain_to_me_what_exactly_happened/do75sm0/</ref> They quickly [[Jargon|pearled]] [[Lodish]], jdcorral, and Peter5930, three citizens of the Commonwealth, the latter of which was a notorious council member of the Commonwealth and superfriend (or moderator) on the server.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/ZsWnu</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/768fdf/i_am_pearled_from_cw_wanted_to_chestshop_for/</ref><ref>https://imgur.com/a/gkaJb</ref>. In addition, they pearled MrLlamma, a citizen of Anguish that insided them to prevent war.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/ocfvX</ref> The community was shocked and disappointed at the treatment of these pearls,<ref>https://imgur.com/a/ocfvX</ref> in addition to two (albeit unfruitful) sieges on the castle in the End built by the now King, Peter5930.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/OvfXm</ref><ref>https://imgur.com/a/ARAe4</ref> Due to this, much of the community rallied to Commonwealth and Hjaltland, who formed the [[Western Alliance]] along with Mir and [[Impasse]]. While they attempted to attack the vault and also successfully besieged the city, much of the winter was spent waiting for an opening and planning for a full-scale attack. During that time, Lexington offered conditions of surrender to Commonwealth but were never accepted.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/Wjmto</ref><ref>https://imgur.com/a/bOJrZ</ref><ref>https://imgur.com/Yt77c00</ref>
 
HoweverA server update for 1.12 tweaked mechanics to the Western Alliance's favor, allowing them to take advantage of the planning they had taken the prior months.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/852jco/112_is_coming_this_week_this_is_the_final/</ref> The war would eventually end as on April 6-8 of 2018, a large-scale operation was created to attack the Lexington Vault. The [[Fall of Lexington]] took over two days and eventually the vault was captured using new innovations to break the near-impenetrable vault. Most Lexington fighters were captured or pearled, and all pearled victims of Lexington were freed.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/8asse5/the_lexington_vault_has_been_broken/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/8b1987/the_war_is_over_post_screenshots/</ref>
 
=== Peace & Regional Allies (Late 2018) ===
Following the war, two major alliances emerged from those who were more ambivalent towards Lexington and those who adamantly opposed it. Much of the southwestern powers at the time, including the resurgence of [[Yoahtl]], formed the [[SATO]] alliance who were more focused on economic security and growth. On the other side, with newer powers to the Northwest like the [[Holy Jaded Empire]] and [[Columbia]], formed the rather similar named [[NATO]] alliance. The two powers engaged in a cold war of sorts with neither directly attacking the other until the Infinity War; preferring to take most conflicts in a buffer state between Commonwealth and the Holy Jaded Empire, in a new iteration of [[Mount Augusta]]. <syntaxhighlight>
 
This was generally supposed to be about the generally peaceful time between FRIENDS and SATO, and how conflict developed during that time.
