(Added a little bit of background on the Ez2War. This still needs to be improved. Copied some stuff from the Bobanga page about the Ez2Raid on Bobanga.) |

Before the current iteration of Civrealms, there was an open beta of the server, that lasted from __ to __.
== Early history ==
Civrealms was started on the 18th of May, 2019<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/bq9tya/civrealms_is_now_live/</ref>. The server had the same map and some of the same mechanics from beta upon launch. Over time though significant changes would mean that the server at start barely resembled the server at beta, and the server today barely resembles the server at start.
=== First Civilizations ===
An anthropological history of the early civilisations of CivRealms faces some serious difficulties. Firstly, some of the most powerful nations were active on the discord and in-game, but did not seriously devote to a subreddit presence, meaning that evidence of their existence is limited. On the other hand, many of the civilisations that strove to leave their mark on the world in this period posted to the subreddit but were often merely one-man nations unable to seriously influence events.
The earliest record of territorial claims mentions the civilisations of [[National Tenochtitlan|Tenochtitlan]], Zimbabwe and Rob's Tribe<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/btrnn8/world_claims_52719/</ref
>. Note that Rob's Tribe is not associated with RobBM, a common mistake. Of these states, Zimbabwe and Rob's Tribe have passed into the mists of history, while Tenochtitlan lives on as [[Bobanga]] and the city of [[Tenochtitlan]].
Much of the early history of the server was dedicated to the acquisition of bronze, a necessary ingredient in stepping up the tech-tree, and wool, which could not reliably be farmed due to a lack of knowledge of efficient farming methods. Southern and northern nations such as Tenochtitlan and Carbon began trading copper and tin<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/btsdmr/tenochtitlan_is_buying_tin/</ref/>, while there was also significant debate over the best means of mining<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/bv2g0l/which_do_you_prefer_quarries_or_mine_shafts_why/</ref>. Many of the techniques developed in this period are continued even today, despite the proliferation of enchanted mithril tools.
[[Norlund]] was one of the states founded in this early period<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ch058r/the_constitution_of_norlund/</ref>, as was [[Wheatistan]].
The rise of multiple states in this period saw the rise of the [[Inca]], one of the first military groups on the server. In this period wars were fought with leather and iron armour, and Carbon was seen as highly advanced due to equipping their soldiers with steel armour. The [[Inca Wars]] were a period of wars between the Inca, Varathia, Tenochtitlan, Carbon and other peoples and states throughout much of this early period. Eventually the Inca would be defeated, and the Inca today no longer remain.
New states began to spring up such as [[Amaryllis]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/cu5a9m/this_is_amaryllis_you_are_welcome_to_stop_by_you/</ref>, and Carbon and Varathia finally actually made their claims public<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/cvwh8o/varathian_claims_everyone_is_welcome_so_long_as/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/d0j919/the_kingdom_of_carbons_claims/</ref>.
A number of long-standing nations were founded such as [[New Jersey]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/d218sl/the_jersey_cows_of_new_jersey/</ref> but did not make it to the present.
== Pre Ez2War<!-- I was thinking this should describe the period between alexandrias independence and the ez2war. I think we should get a better name for this period than just "Pre Ez2War" --> ==
