Getting Started in Pavia

This page is to assist new and established players to get started in the Principality of Pavia. For detailed information on the nation, please see here. To avoid duplication of information, this page assumes that you have read the information on that page.

Important Links

Pavia's Discord - Main source for all things Pavian. This is where you can find/hear about all decrees made by the incumbent Crown Prince, read about Pavian news, keep in touch with citizens and the broader Pavian community and find jobs to do.

CivMC Discord - This is server-wide discord channel where you can find administrator announcements and speak to the entire Civ community.

World Map - The world map, maintained by players. This is where you can see all internationally recognised claims, see OneDest rail destinations and find your way around the map.

Pavia Institute - This is where you can read details related to the Pavian government.

Magna Pavia - This is the Pavian founding document and the most important document outlining the function of government in Pavia.

Setting your spawn

If you die on this server without having set your spawn (your spawn point can be set by sleeping in a bed), you will spawn in a new random place on the map. So the first thing that should be done when you arrive into Pavia is to set your spawn. A publicly accessible bed is available at The Loud Mule Inn and Stable (Coordinates: 1140x, -2883z) . The Loud Mule Inn and Stable can be found on the Kingsroad in the Duchy of Bedford, a Duchy administered under the Duke of Bedford, BritishWanderer.

Pavian Land Registry - The Loud Mule and Stable is located in the Duchy of Bedford. The Duchy in the south of the Pavian landmass.

Quick fact: The Kingsroad is a major thoroughfare located along the south coast of Pavia. This road is built by Pavia and continues into the neighbouring countries of Mery and Lambat. Locating this road can be an easy way to find your way back to the City of Pavia. The road is supplemented by the Princes Road which is a matching road that runs along the north coast of the nation.

Joining the NameLayer groups

NameLayer is the plugin used by Civ genre servers to allow for block protection (reinforcements), private shared chats amongst other features. All nations in CivMC will utilise a number of groups that allow selective access to be given to infrastructure that should only be accessible by authorised players.

There are three public NameLayer groups that new citizens need to join. To join the groups, you must ask a Duke of Pavia either ingame or in the Pavian discord channel.

Pavia - This is a general purpose group used for chatting in-game to other Pavians

PaviaCitizens - This group is used to manage access to city's bastions. It is required that you join this group before you are able to build within Pavia.

PaviaFactories - This group permits the player to access the city's factories.

Getting your first home

There are two methods of obtaining property in Pavia.

• Purchase a property within Pavia from the Monument Group. This is recommended for established players who would like a property within the city and will cost diamonds.
• Build a home in the Bedford Common. This is recommended for new players and is free.

Purchasing a property through the Monument Group

If you are interested in purchasing a property in Pavia, open a ticket using the #contact-us channel in the Pavian discord. Any properties valued and purchased for over 64 diamonds will come with Pavian citizenship.

Quick fact: ~~something about how Monument Group is a public company that sells shares~~.

Building a home in the Bedford Common

The Principality of Pavia enforces a strict building code to maintain standards across the nation. As a consequence of this, citizens of Pavia can not freely build within the nation without the permission of the Bureau of Architecture. Citizens who have demonstrated a good understanding of the Pavian building style and a high standard for building can obtain this permission.

Citizens can however build freely within the Bedford Common, an area designated in the Duchy of Bedford for new players to get established. Open the Pavian Land Registry map on the right hand side of this page to see the location and boundary of the Bedford Common.

Within the Commons, citizens can freely choose any space that is not yet occupied by a building to construct their home, please keep in mind that while the Bureau of Architecture does not enforce a strict build style within this region, it is still expected that players will make an attempt to stick to the style (for example; no tall buildings or modern skyscrapers).
