Gjum (variously /dʒiːdʒʌm/, /dʒʌm/, or /ɡjʌm/) is a Civ player, toolmaker, and developer. First joining Civ on Civcraft 3.0 with Aquila, his citizenships include Aquila (Devoted 3.0), where he served as Chief Justice, and Impasse (CivClassic).
Gjum has maintained and hosted the widely used community maps for most mainline servers, including CivClassic, Civcraft 3.0, Devoted 3.0, and CivMC. In a January 2024 poll, Gjum placed third for all-time out of game contributions, behind ttk2 and ProgrammerDan.[1]
Gjum has a CivTCG card named after him.
Contributions
Gjum created the CivMap project, which provides interactive maps for several Civ servers:
- CCMap for CivClassic
- CivMap/2.0 for Civcraft 2.0 (almost exclusively Ashnwill's work but based on CCMap code)
- CivMap for Civcraft 3.0
- Dev3Map for Devoted 3.0
CivBooks is a webpage where you can read full books written on Civcraft 1.0-3.0, Devoted 2.0/3.0 and CivClassic.
RecipeTree is a web tool to calculate resources required to run FactoryMod recipes on CivClassic (see also CivTopWolf's fork for the CivRealms version).
Created several Civ mods:
- CivRelay to send Snitches, group chat, and login/logout messages to Discord.
- GridLines to mark locations in a Snitch/Bastion grid, but can also be used for building repetitive patterns.
- MoreChunks to extend the render distance as far as you want.
- ChatGroupInfo to show a small overlay which group chat you are currently chatting in.
- Tradex (WIP) to show nearby shop chests and their price info.
Updated some Civ mods such as SnitchMaster and CivRadar (but prefers CombatRadar now).
Civ Timeline
First played Civ during Civcraft 3.0, struggling in Concordia for a few newfriend days before moving to Aquila. Helped revive Aquila on Devoted 3.0, later filling the position of Chief Justice. When CivClassic launched, he joined the returning OG Aquilans to make Impasse. With CivRealms activity rising and the Mir-NATO War making CivClassic less and less enjoyable, in May 2020 he decided to leave CivClassic and play on CivRealms.
