The Titan war (also known as the Siege of Titan, the Attack on Titan or the HCF-WP War) was a conflict on [[Civcraft 2.0]] between [[Titan]] and various militia groups known collectively as the [[World Police]], as well as more city-based militias. The war is marked by many various sieges on the city of Titan where [[HCF]] forces had retreated after launching attacks on [[Carbon]] and [[Orion]]. Despite a protracted siege neither side was able achieve decisive victory through a raw vault attack. In an unprecedented struggle the vault held for 3 long months, mostly due to the advantages that bastions conferred to the defenders.
With the release of Clone2204's pearl in April 2015 after long arbitration, the last of the World Police pearls were freed, marking 'official' end of the Titan conflict.

▲======= The Titan War ======= The Titan war (also known as the Siege of Titan, the Attack on Titan or the HCF-WP War) was a conflict between [[towns/titan|Titan]] and various militia groups known collectively as the World Police, as well as more city-based militias. The war is marked by many various sieges on the city of Titan where HCF forces had retreated after launching attacks on [[towns/carbon|Carbon]] and [[towns/orion|Orion]]. Despite a protracted siege neither side was able achieve decisive victory through a raw vault attack. In an unprecedented struggle the vault held for 3 long months, mostly due to the advantages that bastions conferred to the defenders. Ultimately, both Papa and Han would be alt-banned. The vault would given over to Sintralin at the end of the war, who had allied herself with Jakebob who was fighting World Police members in the Carson Civil War. The final stand of the war, an assault on Carson's unofficial vault Playpen would be conducted by Titan, with help from [[towns/nox|Libertas]] (the new group created by JakebobTheEpic and sintralin). Although initially successful, the attacking force at Playpen were repelled by a stiffening Carson resistance. Libertas returned to their own vault, while the Titan vault was deconstructed, the pearls given to Libertas, where some members of the Titan force would go too. The following months were filled with sorting out the reparations from the war, with Libertas releasing most of the pearls from Titan within a day, after long discussions about what they planned to do in the future. Some pearls from Titan were kept due to pending claims, and were released after their payment. With the release of Clone2204's pearl in April 2015 after long arbitration, the last of the World Police pearls were freed, marking 'official' end of the Titan conflict.

Meanwhile Titan transferred ownership over to
== Initial raids ==
The HCF in Titan got into a fight at Mount Augusta, and pearled GordonFreemanQ, a prominent Carsonite. He was brought back to Titan and put in the vault. This was the opening move of the war. Papa and Han claim that Gordon was illegally snitching the [[Xiphias]] rail line, despite no request for his pearl or bounty being posted by any xiphias member, whereas the Carsonites maintain the plan was to bait the World Police into an attack.

Line 71 ⟶ 56:
== Papa's Pearling ==
Papa was altbanned in two controversial pearlings. The first, Papa's internet completely dropped out during a fight due to his phone line messing with his internet. This left the Australian PVPer combat logged and thus easy prey. The second, which resulted in his alt-ban, his internet completely went out dropping him from mumble, teamspeak and minecraft. Papa maintains he was the victim of a [[DDoS]] attack, something the World Police deny vehemently. Regardless of how it happened, the HCF leader Papa was pearled. This left only Han as the original leader, with PSN largely taking over the day-to-day combat operations.
== HanTzu's Altban ==
HanTzu had maintained amicable relations with a young newfriend by the name of Matthew1034. Matthew1034 had been pressuring Han to come see his catapult he had recently constructed. The catapult killed Han, who then respawned in Titan. Han returned, now naked, never believing that he was in any danger. Matthew1034 then launched a surprise attack, wearing only iron armor, and slew HanTzu. Han was officially alt-banned, and thus the Titan war was functionally over. On April 23rd it was revealed that Matthew1034 was an alt of [[TangentialThreat]], a World Police lieutenant in his first successful assassination.
== Libertas ==
As the fighting began to die down, Carson experienced a civil war between factions loyal to Jakebob and those loyal to Clone2204. Jakebob admitted he intended to pearl Clone in order to achieve a prisoner exchange to release his friend Eldoorn from Titan's vault. Jakebob and his allies attacked Clone whilst he was riding on the [[CIC]], but he escaped certain pearling by the intervention of several other Carsonites. In response, Clone hired notorious raider Ruhzzy to attack Jakebob. Jakebob allied himself with Sintralin, long-standing friend of Papa and [[Shadedjon]]. Sintralin, along with TB (former HCF) and a few others invited Jakebob to join their new group, dubbed "Libertas". Not long after Papa was alt-banned and the defenses of Titan were weakening, Sintralin persuaded Papa to give her ownership of his vault. Sintralin deconstructed the vault, and used some of the wealth to construct a new vault on the homestead of Libertas. Many, but not all, of the surviving HCF fighters joined Libertas, leading the World Police to attack them for open claims.
NOTE: The deconstruction of the Titan vault and the dissolution of the group that guarded it occurred AFTER the assault on Playpen.
Line 85 ⟶ 70:
== Playpen Assault ==
Papa, perhaps believing the defenses of Carson weakened by the losses incurred at Titan, decided to launch an attack on Playpen (Carson's unofficial vault) with his Titan force, along with the help of Libertas. Initially the attack went very well, but the defenders rallied at the last ring of defenses. There, the Carsonites were joined by an outpouring from Orion, [[Aeon]], [[Commonwealth (2.0)|Commonwealth]], [[Fellowship]], [[Chanos]],
== The ODST ==
Line 91 ⟶ 76:
Once it became clear that an outright assault was not going to break the vault, a small group of players led by RogueX7 and TangentialThreat launched an operation aimed at breaking the bastions via block placing on a skybridge to reach the tower. Although they did not play a crucial role in ending the war, since the Titan defenses were pretty much abandoned (Titan and Co. decided the Playpen attack would be a make or break situation), it was clear that the Titan defenders would not be able to hold the tower once the bridge was completed. Without Papa and several of the HCF leaders, there was little to no hope of holding out against such a determined group.
The end of the war brought many changes to Civcraft. For the first time the power of bastions were fully realized -- suddenly, a small group of dedicated defenders could hold off a much greater force for a very long time. The war was very much seen at a microscopic level, with many observers in Titan watching the war rage on and taking note the criminal actions of certain attackers. With the collapse of the Titan defenders and the rise of Libertas there is some hope that the HCF players may be peacefully integrated into society, and that reps for old damages during the America Era would be paid. Lastly, a major rise of server alliances and globalization followed, with many players seeking to create defensive groups or alliances to prevent the disorganization that occurred during the war from happening again.
== Public opinion ==▼
[http://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2sz03g/what_are_your_thoughts_regarding_the_current/ Public opinion is mixed.] While the actions of the militias griefing Titan is condemned, other find such actions in a state of total war perfectly reasonable.▼

==== Propaganda ====▼
Several pieces of propaganda were made for both sides of the conflict.
