== Finding something to do ==
A distinct feature of civ-genre servers is the lack of interaction between server administrators and the community, and the lack of 'forced' gameplay elements. This leaves the player often needing to find their own purpose in the world akin to how a player would play survival Minecraft. The plugins that are available within civ server facilitate and support the creation of nations and communities who can work together to build as well as providing them with the tools required to enforce their own claims and distribute justice when required.
The benefit of such a server model is that there is a vast number of things that a player can do, and players are not forced to commit to any one particular playstyle.
=== Become an Architect ===
Pavia is well-known throughout the map for it's commitment to building a single style city, and the creation of large and detailed builds. Players are not able to build outside of a Commons without express permission from the Pavian Bureau of Architecture. To obtain the permission to build within Pavian Crownland and the City of Pavia, players must first demonstrate their building ability on a creative server hosted by Pavia.
If you believe you are a good builder, or are interested in becoming a better builder - becoming an Architect of Pavia might be a good goal for you. To become an architect, contact [[Gobblin]] on discord or in-game to gain access to the creative where you can demonstrate your building ability. Once approved, you will be able to assist in designing the city and other locations around Pavia.
=== Complete Build Contracts ===
Some builds in Pavia are first designed in creative before being built in-game by other builds, and players are offered payment in return for constructing these builds in-game. This is an extremely lucrative business within the state with schematics often paying out between 20 and 30 diamonds for completion, with all blocks provided by the Pavian Grand Exchange for free.
However, build contracts are in great demand and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
To obtain a build contract - keep an eye on the #pavia-schematics channel to accept a build contract when one becomes available.
Non-citizens can gain access to the #pavia-schematics channel and Pavian build contracts by contacting [[Gobblin]].
In order to accept a contract - it is important that the player has installed the [[Litematica]] mod, which will allow them to place and build the design as a blueprint. Lessons on how to use Litematica are offered by asking [[Gobblin|Gobblin.]]
=== Become a Merchant ===
Pavia boasts one of the largest markets available on the server, located on the Main Road in the City of Pavia.
