The history and origin of Yoahtl lies shrouded mostly in myth, legend, and non-living memory. While Quauhtli_Mia has recorded most of Yoahtl's history into a series of volumes ingame, it is not complete. Yoahtl has divided its history into a series of 'Eras', each with their own feeling and style and population. There have been nearly a dozen of these, but for our purposes, Yoahtl's has defined its existence in four Eras in the Civ server genre:
Pre-Civclassics
Before Civclassics, there were two signature eras:
The Era of Resettlement was marked by the end of Meloncraft and the exodus of many Yoahtlans to Civcraft 2.0. This era began in Meloncraft and was characterized by a sense of being lost and purposeless. The community struggled to survive and adapt to the new environment of Civcraft. This era came to an end with the coming of the Goodspringers and St_Leibowitz, the future Alcuahtl, who took a look at Yoahtl's governing traditions and found them lacking.
The Era of Dissent was the era of Yoahtl's many attempts at a constitution and governmental reform. It was an era formed out of the necessity of change to the community that came from being on a new server. However, the incongruity between the attempted reforms and Yoahtl's traditions led to a period of intense disorganization and power struggles, allowing proliferation of selfish interests. Faced with the ongoing infighting and ineffective governance brought on by corruption and poor governmental reforms, the community split and shattered, leaving Yoahtl nearly dead. During the worst of these times, Yoahtl consisted of Quauhtli_Mia, Klasikrok, WackyAki, And St. Leibowitz.
Civclassics
The Era of Reclamation
The Era of Reclamation is marked by the return to traditions and a more informal governing style and focus on community rather than politics. This era began after the arrival of Yoahtl to its current home. This era also is marked with the removal of redundant or useless laws and regulation and ensuring that those in power make rules to serve the populace and build community rather than gaining power. This era has come of age during the Somber War, but ended with the Lex vault break and the formation of SATO.
Axochitlan
At the start of Civclassic, Yoahtl was governed by Alcuahtl St_Liebowitz (who was largely inactive), Deputy Alcuahtl Asakuun, and Quauhtli_Mia. They established the town of Axochitlan, near the southeast worldborder [1], a short distance from Laconia.
Initially, Yoahtl was intended to function as a loose federation of smaller towns, with Laconia holding a prominent position. However, disagreements over the terms led to the First Yoahtl-Laconia War, starting around the 4th of July 2017. Several Yoahtlans were pearled, and the war concluded with Yoahtl’s surrender on the 7th of July.
Both before and after the war, Laconia (at the time consisting of BuckyHD, TofeeDodger, and FRESH_candy) conducted several raids on Axochitlan, using alt accounts to conceal their identity, and switching back to their main accounts when Yoahtlans called for help.
Exile
Resentment towards Laconia quickly boiled over in Yoahtl, within several days of the war’s conclusion bgbba ordered the evacuation of Axochitlan to a temporary site within Commonwealth, who had offered asylum, thirteen thousand blocks away. TheOrangeWizard, Link2006, 14uu, and other Yoahtl citizens camped at Northpoint [2].
While Yoahtl was in exile, St_Liebowitz removed Asakuun and Quauhtli_Mia from their positions in government and appointed bgbba as Deputy Alcuahtl.
Resettlement
On the 11th of July Yoahtl relocated to the island then known as Gapplar, within Vzis claims. The site was christened New Yoahtl City in honour of their migration and the date’s abbreviation, 7/11.
The Vzis War
Miscommunication between Yoahtl and Vzis meant that Vzis was not aware of Yoahtl’s decision to settle the island until public claims were posted on the 18th of July, by which stage Yoahtl had set up factories and was unwilling to leave when Vzis demanded they do so. In response, S4NTA, DroidJoe, Bluedillydilly, AkChaseKid, TheOGFormula, and Mickale moved to occupy NYC. INightLightDX was pearled, and Yoahtl made a call for help on the subreddit.
The call was answered by Bewsiej and Johnfairfax, part of Nudist Beach, who had prior grievances with some Vzis players. On the night of the 18th Bewsiej and Johnfairfax pearled TheOGFormula and rendezvoused with TheOrangeWizard, TheCowGunnerMoo, and Charlieseese to destroy the Vzis factory bunker.
On the 19th, Vzis surrendered, ceding Gapplar to Yoahtl and agreeing to pay a sum of diamonds in reparations, although this was never actually delivered.
The Era of Resurgence is the current era, with the aftermath of the Somber War and the proliferation of the Infinity War
Early New Yoahtl City
While it grew, NYC was heavily dependent on trade with the Commonwealth, regularly importing tools and XP in exchange for iron and diamonds mined from the city’s famous trenches.
On the 5th of August 2017 Yoahtl held its first council elections, with TheOrangeWizard, Klasikrok, and ArowShot winning the three seats.
St_Liebowitz and bgbba remained largely inactive however, and on the 8th of September St_Liebowitz abdicated his position as Alcuahtl to TheOrangeWizard.
