From the Featured Article Fellowship was a nation on Civcraft 2.0 based on the ideals of friendship and cooperation. The nation was well known in Civcraft 2.0 for building the Hexagon, a megastructure built into the central mountains of the country that was widely known as one of the server's main trading and travel hubs. The structure was divided into many layers and housed large shops on its lower floors and residences on its upper floors. Additional area was planned via so-called "hexpansions", but these were never completed. The country maintained good relations with most of its neighbors in the northeast quadrant, being one of the mainstays of the North Eastern Alliance. Despite internal disputes such as the Bedford Dispute, the country maintained consistent growth and continued to be a safe haven for shopping during the Titan War due to their anti-raider policy. Other districts in the country included Fardis, a haven for private mansions, and Lightbarrow, home of one of the largest portal farms on the server. Although no direct successor of the country was created, some of the nation's denizens would later become citizens in Concordia. (Full article...) |

From the Featured Article The Free City of Pacem is a nation on CivClassic and CivMC, founded on June 12, 2017. The city-state is focused on commerce, culture and diplomacy on its CivClassic iteration. Its city was widely known for its expansive Art Deco and Beaux Arts architecture reminiscent of a 1920s-era New York City. Originally a city-state, the country became an autonomous state of Yoahtl between May 2019 and February 2020. Many of the city's landmarks in CivClassic are named and inspired by Classical Liberal thinkers, including the Ayn Rand Opera House, the Frederic Bastiat Bridge, and the Herbert Spencer Tower. The city also housed the Hayek Market District and played host to a vibrant economy providing many XP material shops and architecture firms throughout the city. Pacem also was the headquarters of the Liberty Gazette, a classical newspaper highlighting major domestic and international events. Today, the country exists on CivMC, hoping to exceed the level of building that was present in their previous state on CivClassic. (Full article...) |

From the Featured Article Mount Augusta's iteration in CivClassic 2.0 was a large city-state, centered around democracy, legalism, and limited government. After its initial stint near Tierra de Conciencia, the country settled near The Commonwealth and became a populous center of activity near the middle of the map. The city played a major role in the start of the 18-month NATO-Mir War, and had over ten mayors over its lifespan. The city was also an economic and cultural capital of the server; the Maester Alliance and the Order of St. Marcus held its headquarters in the city at Shardore Tower Library, the Augustan Trade Center and nearby Mount Augusta Mall, and organized the Fourth Olympics on the server. The city also had many distinct districts which became its own territories such as South Augusta, Sealand, Insula, and Union of Socialist Augusta. The nation collapsed after players migrated over to a new iteration in CivRealms 2.0, while much of its territory was inherited by Mount September. (Full article...) |

From the Featured Article The First Hell War was a large conflict in CivRealms 2.0 focused around the siege of the vault of the same name. The war started on June 18th, 2020 following a stealth break of the vault of Varathia by a group of citizens from the former nation of Savaguard led by a Carbon outcast and a group of citizens known together the Hell Gang. A healthy majority of the server rushed to Varathia's aid, fighting through a gruesome siege over several days, including an extended 12 hour truce over Father's Day. This war marked a notable turning point on the server, and laid the groundwork for the Second Hell War and the Great War, the latter of which led to the server's eventual death. This also marked the first crack in the previously strong alliance between Cantina and Blackwater, after Blackwater betrayed the coalition and accepted the Hell Gang into their ranks. Estimates put the number of unique accounts on the coalition side at over 115, against some 10-15 defenders. (Full article...) |

From the Featured Article The New Danzilona Hockey League (NDZHL) was a Minecraft hockey league active on Civcraft 2.0. The league pioneered the spread of Minecraft hockey and regular organised sports on Civ servers. The league and Minecraft hockey was created by New Danzilona citizen RoarkLeSkif, who was head of the league from its creation until his resignation in its second season. The NDZHL was not only important in developing a distinct Danzilonan identity, but it also had positive and negative diplomatic effects between its competing nations, as well as just being fun. Teams hailed from a multitude of nations, including Mount Augusta, Little Latvia, and Orion, with creative team names for each. Although hockey continued to be played on Civcraft 3.0 and occasionally on Civclassic 2.0 in Provincia, a formal hockey league has yet to be revived since its dissolution. (Full article...) |

From the Featured Article 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...) |

From the Featured Article 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 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...) |
