CivRev
CivRevolution is a Civ server that launched 16th of November 2021. It was started as a private server, and later opened publicly due to a server outage of CivClassic. CivRevolution is identical to CivClassic in most of its configuration and plugins, but over time some new plugins that integrate with existing Civ plugins may be added.

History
Early Peace (November 16 - December 9)
CivRevolution opened on November 16th, 2021, after being in development since at least April 8th.[2] 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, Waswya, Icarus 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.[3] 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.
Rise of Powers (December 9 - Present)
On December 9, 2021, administrator TealNerd of CivClassic announced that the server would be shutting down on the 18th.[4] 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 Most Serence Republic of Fortuna had been founded on December 8th[5] 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. Casson, Sovia, 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.[6] On the 14th, Zach (KyleRittenhouse) was pearled by Fortuna.[7] 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.[8] A notable war began on the 19th as players Savaguard, led by Invader1337, attacked and raided Icarus on multiple occasions leading Icarus to officially declare war.[9] Savaguard claimed that Icarus overclaimed Savaguard land that had been publically posted in the UMP discord whereas Icarus had settled in the area before. This declaration of war was almost immediately followed by the Icarian Federal Army stonebombing the area. The Savaguardian leader Invader1337 was furious, demanding that the groups are to be given at once on the Icarian discord, this was followed by Icarians shitposting the server. The next day, a member of Icarian High Command knows as Deo, seeing the war as useless, decided to make a deal with Invader. In return for the groups, Savaguard was to return stolen valuables and peace was restored.
