From the Featured ArticleThe Mount September Ice Road Conflict was an incident between the UDF and the Augustan Federation over defensive infrastructure on CivClassic. The dispute started over an ice road built during the War of the Coalition that overlapped plans for a vault in Mount September. This was combined with other grievances from Icenia over the community of Mount September, particularly minemaster933. A court ruling in Mount September in late August found SirTwiggles of Imperial Truidence guilty for trespassing on NebulaSSR’s bunker on Icenia’s ice road nearby. UDF interpreted the ruling as being unable to use the ice road without consequence, and sought military action. After a continued public argument against UDF and Augustan Federation officials, several fully armed UDF officials appeared at Nebula’s bunker, ready to attack. Although they continued to confront each other, no PvP conflict occurred. Both sides made peace and players from Kallos and Mount September helped clean up the damage. The conflict came at a time when the last major war (the Infinity War) had concluded a year before; Punitive measures were placed on Mount September citizens, and started the general unravelling of the Augustan Federation's outer allies such as Lambat. The image that resulted from the conflict remains an iconic picture of Civ, and the incident itself shows a success of diplomacy on the brink of a possible war between major powers.
