From the Featured Article

Shardore Tower, the Order of St. Marcus' and the Maester Alliance's headquarters.

The Order of St. Marcus was a builder's organization active throughout CivClassic that sought to create high-quality builds across the server. It was started in February 2018 by Gobblin and Maester Logic_Man in Mount Augusta in honor of fellow retired Maester Marcus_Flaminius. Through the Journey of the Placed Block, the organization encouraged players to improve the looks of towns and cities across CivClassic, at a time when many buildings lacked flair. With build competitions and a point system, they called on other builders to create beautiful buildings on the server, from lowly houses to large government buildings, rail stations, libraries and more. Eleven nations on the server, most notably Gabon, Varkonia and the Commonwealth contained numerous builds which contributed to the Order's mission. (Full article...)

Current Events

The first claims map on CivMC posted by TheJqmn.
  • CivMC was released last Thursday, June 2. On the day of launch, Wingzero released notes on the new features that would be arriving. A new trailer was created by Dilluexe in anticipation of launch.
  • The server's launch saw over 400 players attempting to joining the server at launch, making it one of the biggest Civ server launches on record. Despite high numbers throughout the weekend, there was scarce interruption over launch weekend. Continuous technical support was made throughout the weekend to increase the number of players on the server and fix a few errant bugs in production.
  • Many countries surprisingly posted their claims within the first few days, with many claiming large claims over the world. From the aftermath on the subreddit, many nations like Arsenio Pact, Rhode Island, and Zatoka saw claim conflicts on their surrounding nations.
  • One large complaint on launch was the server's queue; the high demand during the launch weekend and peak hours saw long queues reaching over 100, the admins have confirmed they are working on upgrading the server and introducing sharding to increase the overall server population.

Civcraft 3.0 (also known as Civcraft: Worlds or simply 3.0) was the final iteration of the Civcraft line of servers. Announced at the end of Civcraft 2.0, the admins wanted the iteration to be more ambitious by being the first Civ iteration to introduce sharding, a way of breaking up the server into pieces and handle the massive load of players, and also overhaul Citadel and FactoryMod to make a slower, RPG-like progression. After the end of CivTemp in May 2016, its launch was delayed by two weeks in July due to cave generation issues. 3.0 was launched on July 30, 2016 with 15 unique shards. Although the initial launch was successful, many complained about the unequal distribution of RealisticBiomes with ores and crops which increased scarcity, the increasingly hostile and insular interactions with other players for space, frustrations with the slow tech tree, and the small size of shards. Although many efforts were made from the admins to remedy these issues and recover the player base, in October 2017, ttk2, the owner of the server, announced that he would be stepping down, effectively shutting down Civcraft 3.0 as population dropped.

From the Featured Article

A screenshot of World Police fighters breaking the Nox vault during Civcraft 2.0.

The World Police (abbreviated WP) has been a label used to describe various people, groups, and organizations throughout almost all of Civ history. The uniting characteristic of those who've earned the moniker "World Police", whether organized or unorganized is the heavy involvement in international combat operations. This usually involves bounty hunting raiders but also more notably taking part in wars against PVP-oriented groups, such as the HCF. The origins of the World Police date back to the formal organisation that beared the name on Civcraft 1.0, evolving into a more informal network of fighters on Civcraft 2.0 before becoming the formal patchwork of alliances of nations on CivClassic 2.0 that most are familiar with. Across all servers, opinions on the WP are mixed as many not only associate them with crime fighting but also alt-raiding, sovereignty-breaching, and permapearling. (Full article...)

From the Featured Article

A render of Salisbury, the capital of Gabon.
Gabon was a nation located in the northwest quadrant of CivClassic founded on June 10th, 2018. Gabon existed as part of a political union with the larger nation of Varkonia until October 2020 when a referendum was held resulting in the nation's independence. Gabon was well-known for its high-quality builds and stable government. Its capital, Salisbury, was one of the largest cities on CivClassic. Gabon is planning on moving to CivMC when the server releases as the nation of Pavia.
