CivRev: Difference between revisions
Started a history section. I hope there can be one civ server where all history is actually recorded. May be some bias as I am a part of Fortuna, so please correct if anything seems wrong.

* There is a nether and portals do work,

== History ==
=== Period 1: Early Peace (November 16 - December 9) ===
CivRevolution opened on November 16th, 2021, after being in development since at least April 8th.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/824717853834870845/824717854570053684/829926244786634774</ref> The server launched in response to a temporary [[CivClassic]] shutdown, and the population grew rapidly as there were no other active civ servers at the time. The first days of the server were generally peaceful as players created the first land claims on the server and began mapping out the world. Nations founded during this time included [[Narra]], [[Bergburg]], [[Wacc]], [[Astonia (CivRevolution)|Astonia]], [[Waswya]], and many other minor nations. Conflicts were rare due to the size of the map and the distance between claims. The most notable founded at this time was [[Saint Lola]], which included many notable players such as [[KingOfTheMochas]] and [[Grumpywalnut96]]. At 5PM EST, the discord was temporarily closed to new messages due to admin [[Owain X]] receiving too many messages and ModMails.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/824717853834870845/910289205698125884/910653856768229437</ref> After the discord was reponened, it temporarily became a hub of civ discussion. On November 18th, a [[Unified Map Project]] server dedicated to mapping out claims on CivRevolution opened. On the 19th, CivClassic reopened and activity on the server dwindled as most players returned to CivClassic, with only those pearled on CivClassic remaining for the next two weeks.

=== Period 2: Rise of Powers (December 9 - Present) ===
On December 9, 2021, administrator [[TealNerd]] of CivClassic announced that the server would be shutting down on the 21st.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/rc370p/through_the_roof_n_underground/</ref> As the only new Civ server running at the time, most Civ players moved to CivRevolution in an event known as the [[Great Civclassics Migration]]. Many nations founded during the Early Peace became inactive, which allowed for new nations to rise. The [[Fortuna|Most Serence Republic of Fortuna]] had been founded on December 8th<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRevolution/comments/rc5niv/claims_of_the_most_serene_republic_of_fortuna/</ref> by long-time Civ player [[ComradeNick]] and quickly grew to be one of the most powerful nations due to many other experienced Civ players joining. [[Icarus]], [[Casson]], [[Sovia]], [[Kingdom of Dolphin|Dolphin]], [[Grainview]], and many other nations were founded around the 9th as well. Some of the first conflict arose on the server as [[Fortuna]] claimed all of the area around 0,0 in a 1000 block square, overclaiming previous nations like [[Bergburg]]. As more nations began to be founded around spawn, raiding increased. The most notable event occured when player [[Zach]] attacked and pearled two newfriends in the [[Jomsviking Confederation]], claiming "self-defense" due to Jomsviking previously threatening to pearl him due to his name.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRevolution/comments/rf9f0s/kyle_rittenhouse_crosses_border_into_jomsviking/</ref> On the 14th, Zach (KyleRittenhouse) was pearled by Fortuna.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRevolution/comments/rg0z46/todays_events_concerning_zachs_pearling/</ref> Also at this time, hackers with cheats installed were raiding and pearling players due to the server's anti-cheat not being fully functional. This issue was solved on the 17th as a proper anti-cheat was installed by Owain X.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/824717853834870845/910683593179811930/921427271980580884</ref> A notable war began on the 19th as players [[Savaguard (CivRevolution)|Savaguard]], led by players like [[Invader1337]] and [[Vanax35]], attacked and raided [[Icarus]] on multiple occasions leading Icarus to officially declare war.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRevolution/comments/riiwo0/icarus_has_become_no_more_than_nomads/</ref>
