'''CivReign'''
==
===
CivReign had been in development since August 2021, but it was publicly announced on November 12th, 2021. The server was initially planned to be run on 1.12.2 but an expansion of the staff team allowed the server version to be moved to 1.16.5. The administration initially communicated to the community through DevDiaries posted on the subreddit. The alpha of the server was initially planned to be launched on January 22nd, but due to a lack of factory configurations it had to be delayed. The project remained inactive until it was announced that [[CivRev]] would be merging with CivReign to centralize development under the umbrella of [[CivUnion]], with [[CivRev]] acting as a test server. After more config work was done, the server pre-alpha was announced on February 22nd and launched on February 24th for patrons and their invitees only. A public beta was announced on March 28th, with a launch date of April 9th.
[[File:CivRegin.jpg|thumb|200px|The start of the CivRegin meme]]
===Beta
Released on April 9th, 2022, at 12pm EST, the first beta saw various successes, albeit with some much needed fixes. A tournament was held as well, to help rally up support, (along with giving people something to do during a much-needed reset to fix some problems with the resource pack), and was won by [[Bob_The_Builder]] after some minor errors allowed them to be respawned and duel off against a previous opponent, winning themselves a 20 dollar gift card. The first beta has officially ended on September 30th, 2022.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/874786745600856114/874787072991436830/968212906971901992</ref> However, as the Beta progressed, a larger issue was revealed in terms of balancing. Rather than production and resource collection fostering trade and innovation, as was the goal, the inclusion of the plugin "Descent" took control of the economy and progression of the server. Though fun initially, as time wore on and the server became more mature, it was stated that CivReign was a "descent server with civ mechanics, not a civ server with descent." Further, due to the instability of the plugin and its nature to cause severe lag spikes, the decision was made to cut descent and overhaul the entirety of the server.
===Server
On December 31st, 2022, at 7pm EST, the official release of the server was dated for January 27th, 2023. While it has been confirmed certain elements from the previous beta such as Descent has been removed, various other plugins and additions have been added in order to facilitate the growing vision of the server, including an overhaul of the tech tree, various additional plugins to help facilitate the need of travel and economics, but will still include the preban lists, and a new ruling being placed outright banning botting. Along with that, on January 9th, a hint was given to the release time, which would be followed up the next day as 5 pm EST, or 10 PM UTC. The release was forced to be pushed back to February 17th, 2023 due to prior unforeseen issues with the map of the server. Though the map was overhauled, it forced the team to wait until it was no longer feasible to get all mechanics ready and tested for the January 27th launch. To compensate, the CivReign team began releasing more teasers to maintain interest until it's release day. On February 24th, 2023. CivReign would officially release. The server would see over 100 players during it's launch.
=== Server Shutdown ===
After 5 months of running the server, it shut down abruptly on the 5th month anniversary. Prior to the shutdown of the server, it would see only between 1 to 0 player every day throughout Summer of 2023 until July 24th<ref>Civ Info Statistics: https://civmc.tk/stats</ref>. The server shut down due to the admins' financial situations as well as the CivReign team disbanding.
== Server Rules ==

==Plugins==
{{See also|Mechanics and Plugins}}
=== Citadel===
Citadel allows placed blocks to be reinforced. This makes griefing more difficult; however, reinforcing a block costs resources. These resources vary depending on the server. CivReign's resources and their assigned values are listed in the table below. This plugin works by requiring reinforcement blocks under a foreign group to require multiple block breaks before the block is finally destroyed. When the block has been broken the designated number of times(based on the reinforcement material) it will look like a regular block. The amount of times a block must be broken depends on the level of reinforcement used. In order to break reinforced blocks more efficiently, multiple players can break the same block simultaneously.

====
In order to combat grief using reinforced blocks, acid blocks(gold blocks in game) can be used remove reinforced blocks. To use acid blocks, the player must put the acid block under the reinforced block that they want to get rid of, and reinforce it with the same material that the unwanted block is reinforced with. Once the acid block is matured, the player will need to look at the acid block and type <code>/ctacid</code>. The gold block and its reinforcement will be recovered, but the unwanted block will disappear.

[[File:RealisticBiomes.jpg|thumb|Realistic Biome Infographic (by Seekinq)]]
Realistic biomes changes the rate at which crops grow depending on the biome that they are planted in. Other factors such as light level, light object, soil depth, etc also affect the growth times. As a general rule of thumb, most crops will grow best when put in direct sunlight and on solid ground.

===FactoryMod===
[[File:FactoryMod.jpg|thumb|FactoryMod Infographic (by Seekinq)]]
The FactoryMod plugin allows the production of materials at a higher efficiency. Some items in game can only be produced with factories. Each factory varies and they all have different recipes. A player can access all the factories and their recipes by typing <code>/fm</code> in game. Each factory has a set amount of health that gradually degrades over time. When a factory's health reaches zero, it must be repaired using the repair recipe within the factory menu. If a factory is left at zero health for too long, it will break permanently and will no longer be repairable.
==
A factory can be created by placing a furnace, crafting table, and a chest side by side.
*The furnace is where fuel for the factory run is placed. When there is a fuel in the furnace, hit the furnace with a stick to start the factory.
*The crafting table is used to select the recipe to run. A player can open the factory's menu by hitting the crafting table with a stick. Mouse over the wanted item and click it to select that recipe.
* The chest holds the recipe's ingredients and is where the output is deposited. The factory health can be seen when the chest is hit with a stick.
To finish the factory creation, place the exact ingredients required for a specific factory in the chest an then left-click the crafting table. Factory recipes and required materials can be seen through the FactoryMod menus, accessed by typing <code>/fm</code> and <code>/fm [factory name]</code>.

=== Seven Wonders of the Ancient World Challenge===
The CivReign admins announced a building competition, on the 1st of April, for players to build "wonders", with 7 people being selected and the top 3 winning prizes.<ref>{{Cdisc|sender=MetalHusband (DM to Verify)|sender-link=MetalHusband|date=2022/4/1|url=https://discord.com/channels/874786745600856114/874787095569391648/959542934343127121|text=Good Evening @everyone !
With the recent announcement of our public beta launch, April 9th for those who missed it, we are excited to announce our first of many competitions/events! We want to make CivReign a world that revolves around you all, the players. We also think a beta should mean something to everyone, not just the dev team receiving data and fixing bugs. Therefore, even though the full launch will include a new map, we want to bring some of the wonderful things you build in the beta to the full release map.
Introducing CivReign's SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD CHALLENGE! The beta map will have many different places for players to explore and build in. We want players to show off their incredible building abilities by creating their own "wonders".
The top seven builds during the competition will be deemed “ancient wonders”, with the top 3 winning additional prizes. Winning architects will receive the role "Wonder Architect" in this discord.
Winners will be chosen by the admin team, then we will have the community vote on the Top 3 Wonders. The architects of these Top 3 Wonders will receive the following prizes.
1st Place: $50 Gift Card (Steam or Amazon)
2nd Place: $25 Gift Card
3rd Place: $10 Gift Card
The contest will start on the day of the beta's release, April 9th, and conclude on May 9th. The admin team will choose our 7 finalists and our community will choose the top 3 in that week following May 9th.|channel=community-announcements|server=CivReign, a CivUnion Product|access-date=2022/5/16}}</ref> The competition started on the 9th of April and the top 7 were announced on the 10th of May, with a public vote planned to pick the top 3. The winners of the public vote were announced on the 30th of May with Melon Man made by [[Seekinq]] and [[_Monkee]] winning the top prize of a $50 amazon gift card.
