A render of the broken Holy Jaded Empire vault after the Infinity War.

Vaults are extremely fortified defensive structures on Civ servers, designed to hold and protect prison or exile pearls. Since its debut in a primitive form on Civcraft 1.0, vaults have seen numerous upgrades, both in size as well as design due to new mechanics such as snitches and Bastions. Vaults have played a large role in multinational server wars, including the Titan, Somber, Infinity and most recently Generic Wars; to prevent vaults and multinational wars from absorbing server politics, admins have taken various measures to prevent vaults on the borders of the server’s map and various other tactics to change the “vault meta”.

Main features of vaults are deep trenches to bedrock, acting as “rings” preventing attackers from reaching the center. At the center, a ground bunker contains a pyramid holding pearls. Additionally, a skybunker at sky limit allows attackers to defend above. So-called “vault scientists” attempt to optimize these components to make the best defensive vault possible. Many attempts to “break” vaults have been done using sky bridge attacks, such as the one at Tinian, which take a considerable amount of time and attacking prowess to successfully defeat defenders.
