'''CivCubed''' is an upcoming Civ server whose development was started in December 2022. The goal of CivCubed is to rethink Civ from scratch, featuring zero existing plugins from mainline Civ servers.
 
Civcubed's development started in December 2022.
 
== Philosophy ==
 
CivCubed's aimsstated tophilosophy build Civ "from first principles,"is identifiyingidentify a set of core principles underlying principlesCiv and building mechanics to suit those, instead of using [[Mechanics and Plugins|existing mechanics]] verbatim.
 
TheCivCubed's three main stated principles that CivCubed builds on are:
 
* Tangibility: as many things as possible should be tangible instead of abstract
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
=== Chat ===
 
CivCubed contains a newThe chat system, is similar to what[[Chat|that is found inof mainline Civ servers, but simplified and graduating several ad-hoc conventions (e.g. global chat) into first-class mechanics]].
 
=== Crafting Stations ===
 
CivCubed features enhanced craftingCrafting stations to serve a similar role to [[Factory|factories]] on mainline Civ servers. The most notable difference between CivCubed crafting stations and mainline Civ factories is the use of manual labour to power crafting stations, rather than the use of fuel and maintenanceupkeep tocosts powerin craftingthe stations,form asof well[[Factory#Health|factory ashealth]]. manySome duties beingare offloaded to whollydistinct uniquecrafting itemsstations such as Woodcutters and enhanced furnaces that can process scraps produced by lower tiers.
 
=== DatekeepingSeasons ===
 
CivCubedThe comes with a datekeepingseasonal system, whoseon epochCivCubed isdivides definedthe toyear beinto thefour Steamseasons releaseof datethree ofmonths Pizza Towereach. Among other things, this means that theThe day/night cycle in CivCubed is approximately an hour, instead of beingthe standard 20 minutes as in standardvanilla Minecraft.
 
=== GearMetals ===
{{Main|Metal (CivCubed)}}
 
CivCubed adds additional metals beyond vanilla, such as Sapphire and Orichalcum. These metals can only be found in specific regions, and can be combined together into an alloy for a more powerful metal.
CivCubed features unique gear created out of regional materials, as well as stronger gear being created by combinations of materials from across regions.
 
Tools and armor can be crafted out of these metals.
 
=== Groups ===
 
CivCubed's group system is similar to that of [[NameLayer]]. It includes a subgroup system, the ability to specify custom roles, and the ability to have multiple owners for a group.
CivCubed features a wholly new groups system, simplifiying group management considerably from mainline Civ. Notable differences from mainline Civ include custom roles with a new permissions system, the ability to split groups across multiple owners with no complications, and the (upcoming) ability to assign reinforcements to subgroups which can be assigned to different roles within the group without requiring players to create multiple groups to manage different trust levels of reinforcements (e.g. city, bunker, vault).
 
Subgroups allow different reinforcements to be assigned to different sections of a claim without requiring all players to be in multiple groups.
 
=== Civilization Hearts ===
 
Civilization Hearts are CivCubed's take on [[Bastion|bastions]] and [[Reinforcement|reinforcements]] from mainline Civ servers.
 
Each player has a single Civilization Heart, which can be placed to create a Civilization Beacon. Beacons provide a fixed durability to all blocks within its range, similar to [[Citadel]]. Multiple players can contribute to the same Beacon to increase the range of its protection.
 
=== Hearts & Civilization BeaconsSigils ===
 
Sigils are similar to pearls in [[ExilePearl]]. When a player with a sigil in their inventory kills another player, that sigil becomes bound to the player who died. Bound Sigils can be applied to a Sigil Slime to prevent the bound player from entering the area protected by its Civilization Beacon.
Civilization beacons and their constituent Hearts are CivCubed's solution to the problems that bastions and reinforcements solve on mainline Civ. Each player has a single Civilization Heart, which can be placed to create a Civilization Beacon. Multiple players can contribute to the same Civilization Beacon to increase the strength and range of its effects. Effects include allowing domestic reinforcements to function at full efficacy, penalising foreign reinforcements, and faster adaptation. Civilization Beacons also serve to define the area of exile that exiled players will be unable to enter.
 
=== ReinforcementsPylon Sovereignty ===
Pylon are blocks that can be placed by group members where it can be linked to its placer once placed. Players can only be linked to one pylon and there are two types of pylons: standalone and multiple pylons. With standalone pylon, the player initiates a claiming sequence if it is placed in free area and the claiming sequence defines the pylon's group, its polygon, and its prime time. With multiple pylons, it can link pylons together to strengthen the pylon's group, allowing more land to be claimed. It comes with the polygon editor to update claims with appropriate group's permissions, as well as ability to contest claims that can potentially destroy pylons after a contesting sequence is completed.
 
== References ==
Reinforcements, like everything else in CivCubed, are rebuilt from the ground up. An tool called a plumb-and-square is used to manage reinforcements and carry reinforcing materials instead of commands. Additionally, entities such as chest boats, minecarts, and prized animals are reinforceable.
