== CivCorp Obbybombing ==
=== Initial attack ===
The idea of obbybombing or otherwise attacking [[CivCorp]] came as a result of the Ascension Sky Vault Incident, where [[MCSPenguin]] and other CivCorp directors funded the construction of Ascension Sky Vault in present day [[Calormen Association]]. This upset many people most notably [[Chungus]], [[Blackwater (CivRealms 2.0)|Blackwater]], and [[Cantina]]. The initial attack on [[CivCorp]] was done approximately a week before the 25th of September 2020 with the ferrying of materials notably obsidian, stone, and iron into the city and most was presumably stored within respective attackers apartments, plots or rented hotel rooms. This staging also included the breaking of bastions and construction of the Wycliffe Bunker in which the attackers could easily access the [[Wycliffe AN]] with further transportation to [[Astra]] and other USA bunkers. On the 25th of September 2020 the attack began with nearly one dozen players placing reinforced obsidian in a tactic known as [[Obbybombing]] in order to destroy or at least cripple [[CivCorp]] permanently. This resulted in mixed opinions across the server with many condeming the attack and pledging to pearl attackers, some staying neutral, and some aplauding the attack as they had grudges against MCSPenguin.
=== Battle of Wycliffe ===
Saren_Solaris used the [[Wycliffe
Line 100 ⟶ 95:
== Aftermath of CivCorp ==
After the obbybombing, CivCorp was left virtually uninhabitable with many people urged and even fought with to keep out the city incase of more attackers. This would culminate in some pearlings of individuals near the city by both sides and many still going into the city to retrieve valuables.
== Battle of Chungus ==
Line 109 ⟶ 105:
The first blow to the coalition came in the form of several coalition fighters getting trapped in the heavily trapped area around Chungus and the north-eastern Blackwater jungle.
=== Battle and Fall of the Varathian vault ===
=== Sacking of the Alesia potbunker ===
The USA broke the Alesia potbunker overnight to add +1 to their tally of broken unfinished vaults. Witnesses suggest this was a cope.
Line 149 ⟶ 143:
=== Initial Skirmishes ===
USA supply bunker attacked and cleared out. [[Dollaz]], the President of the USA, gets trapped and pearled by boywar3. A few Coalition members pearled. Very little overall ground gained for USA.
=== Battle of the Outer Trench ===
Long, drawn-out battle at the Western Outer Trench of Asgard at bedrock level. A few Coalition members pearled including [[Shamus|Shameless_Shamus]], a founder of Yggdrasil.
=== First Battle of the Inner Trench & First Skybridge ===
Line 161 ⟶ 155:
==== Destruction of USA Attack Bunker ====
A major USA Attack Bunker was attacked by the Coalition using an attack tunnel. USA Attack Bunker partially bombed, and much of the supplies were stolen or destroyed, none pearled on either side.
=== Second Skybridge & Fall of Asgard ===
USA started a second Skybridge, this time from the East. Using [[Saren_Solaris]]'s infrastructure in Xianmu, a large, determined skybridge was used to attack Asgard. The skybridge faced some resistance, but not enough, and eventually it broke the City Bastion. With the City Bastion destroyed, USA broke through the south-east corner of the outer rings and reached the top of the walls and the ceiling of the y = 30 archer rings on October 17th. Much archer fire was exchanged between Asgard defenders in the y = 30 rings shooting at USA attackers on top of the walls as well as along the same y level. The progressive intrusion of the USA into the vault as well as the obby-bombing of the horse tunnel the previous day by the USA rendered the vault a death trap for the defenders, with escape only being possible by running out the entrance of the vault. Leading up to this day, two critical shotcallers, [[Asuramaru]] and [[Convoy]], were pearled. Asuramaru fought Fitler2 on the outskirts of Asgard and was lead into a trap and was knocked into the NYC trenches near Asgard, and Convoy solo defended Daybreak and was pearled. It is worth noting that Asuramaru's pearling and others could have been avoided had many of the defenders had possession of critical bastion groups near Asgard. The lack of leadership that precipitated, the breakdown of chain of command and the scarcity of individuals familiar with the vault layout, especially as a large number of fighters consisted of newfriend volunteers, slowed decision making and hampered efficient decision making. The last remaining shotcaller, Diet_Cola, was not familiar with the vault layout or ideal escape scenarios having been a recent addition to the vault defense, and, without many options, ordered to abandon the vault and made a run for it. Many other defenders had not realized Diet had ordered the tactical escape, and lagged behind with most defenders escaping either in pairs or being picked off. Diet had been pearled along with numerous other defenders, such as CJTheKing who sacrificed himself valiantly to save TeamKman, and Seraphim_Here who drew Fitler and numerous other USA attackers off of boywar3 and met his demise at the bottom of a lake. Pearls previously gained in the defense were lost, Coalition member casualties were significant in the disordered escape and morale was crushed. The offensive would move to other fronts such as the Alexandria Civil War and attack on Heaven.
== Alexandrian Civil War ==
=== Twinkist Coup ===
On the 1st of October, The controversial player, TWINKIEminer, was unbanned from
=== Battle of Alexandria ===
The Battle of Alexandria took place after the coup and sought to reaffirm Alexandrian control over the city and bastions.
=== Chungus Intervention ===
After the Battle of Alexandria, presumably Twinkie or another co-conspirator called for help from USA and they showed up to defend the coup.
== Attack on Daybreak ==
==== Background ====
[[File:DaybreakConstruction1.png|
Daybreak is an ocean vault that was constructed by the citizens of the IWW before its dissolution and was expanded and is owned by BennyZ and [[4788888]] (Salmon Dinner). After the dissolution of the IWW, the vault was considered to be the [[Borealian Socialist Republic]]'s national vault, and held no pearls at the time of the attack. The vault became a target of the USA because both BennyZ and 4788888 joined the Coalition almost immediately after the bombing of CivCorp. Convoy contributed resources for the construction and expansion of the vault, and many of its defenders were pearled at the Siege of Asgard.
Line 188 ⟶ 184:
=== USA Retreat and Results ===
After the Battle of Heaven both sides lost approximately 3 to 4 pearls each due to RNG and also bad strategy and Heaven's size being a factor on part of USA.
== USA Bans and Leaks ==
After their retreat from Heaven, a stalemate ensued due to the addition of [[RNG Critical Hits]] which caused both sides approximately 4 pearls each. This period would mostly consist of Reddit and Discord arguments and repairing of defensive infrastructure. This period would last untill the 15th of November 2020 when nearly 13 USA members<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/juyc16/details_on_multiple_usa_bans/</ref> were banned with nearly 8 being permanently banned from CivRealms. This would add to the already numerous amount of USA members pearled and leave only around 8 members left to defend possesions, in which only one person would log in during the Void Vault disabling with the rest leaving the server or being pearled Post-War.
== Siege of Void ==
Line 197 ⟶ 195:
=== Transfer of Hell ===
Hell Vault was transferred to Rhodesian forces sometime after the war by BuckyHD who left the server afterwards. A minor conflict arose sometime afterwards within Rhodesia over the vault.
=== Supposed Bunker Breaking ===
Supposed Bunker which was once the starting point of the Varathia Vault skybridge, had the skybridge turned against it with Varathians and Otonabee's using the skybridge to traverse into the Supposed skybunker then break bastions. Afterwards the skybunker was raided and the horse stables were broken into and most horses were requisitioned by Varathian forces.
=== 420 Vault
Similarly to Void Vault, 420 Vault was undefended at all and was broken over a period of 3 days via a ground tunnel into the vault proper, mining of the spike via downwards mining, looting of skybunkers, and obby flooding afterwards. to fully disable it.
=== ANUZ ===
After the breaking of Supposed Bunker, Void Vault, and Blood Vault, the lands formerly belonging to [[Blackwater (CivRealms 2.0)|Blackwater]] were annexed by Alexandria in order to create a zone for newfriends to start out the server in without fear of attack. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/k0z4jw/declaration_of_anuz_details_in_post/</ref>
== The Server During the war ==
=== Server Depopulation ===
After the war due to burnout from conflict, the slow process of rebuilding, and high amounts of toxicity from the conflict up to and including doxxing and alting, as well as may other factors, the server population on CivRealms began to drastically fall. Some entire groups that were neutral left the server such as [[Moloka]] and [[Cantina]], along with a majority of groups that actively fought in the conflict on both sides, being as a result of either bans or burnout. As of today the most amount of people daily is around 3, with the highest number post-war being 77 people online<ref>https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/2f452506-3d2f-45e9-b1aa-c91855a3be56/page/bR7EC</ref> on June 15th, 2021, albiet primarily being alts due to [[Stonato]] being banned from CivRealms discord.
