Vault: Difference between revisions

As of now, beyond mostly small differences between different schools of design and a few more closely guarded secrets, the meta behind vault design has largely stagnated, with years of development leading to relatively idealized defenses and tactics being implemented across most surviving vaults.

Goldenglow Estate was a mid-size 4 ring vault located in the capital of IMC. Its name is a reference to Skyrims 'Goldenglow estate' which in game is a group of honey farms, for this reason that Goldenglow was decorated with a glowstone and yellow glass aesthetic.

Admin Dsclouse took an [https://imgur.com/a/9HU3L album] of screenshots of the vault attack, showcasing angles of an attack not normally player accessible.

The remains of the vault were turned into a war museum and could be publicly visited on CivClassics, now on CivLegacy.

A 4 ring vault in a large hole, destroyed by Mir/SATO coalition on January 8th, 2019 after it had been abandoned.

In the summer of 2021, [[Krowatia]] began a restoration project of the land above and around the vault.

 

 

Was a vault named "Heaven's Gate" hidden by a massive trench, alongside a city, sitting at the South West world corner. Map data indicates it has 8-10 rings, with the outer rings in varying states of construction. The vault sits diagonally along world border. To the north and east cardinal there is a large skybunker before the trench. Similarly the corner of the trench has the same skybunker positioned just within. Disabled and destroyed by Mir/HJ/SATO coalition during the Mir-NATO war.

 

[[File:Columbia Vault.png|left|thumb|Sempiternal before the Infinity War.]]

Sempiternal was a small 3 ring vault, built in the style of nerd rings. It consisted only of a ground bunker, sky bunker, and 3 rings, as well as a partially complete snitch curtain. It is currently disabled and abandoned due to the events of the Third Siege of Sempiternal by Mir, the Columbian Civil War/Columbian Bush War against Rhodesia, and further griefing by NATO forces, all in the course of events that would become known as the Infinity War. More images of Sempiternal before the war started can be found [https://imgur.com/a/0c1aNvV here]

 

Was a vault being made by [[ashnwill]] as part of the [[LSD|Latvian Soccer Dogs]] (LSD) alliance. This was destroyed and a by a joint force of Entente and SATO fighters on the 7th of September 2019 after ashnwill had quit without adding other LSD members to the vault groups, causing them to be unable to defend.

 

A small incomplete vault in eastern [[Imperial Truidence]]. The owners of the vault built it on Truidencian land, despite having no affiliations with the nation. It was disabled before the builders named it, so it was given the nickname "The Swimming Pool" by the attackers, the name derives from the flooding of the vault after the siege. The vault had 5 planned rings, with only two completed. It had a standard skybunker but lacked a snitch curtain. The attack on the vault happened in the wee hours of the 13th of December 2019 (UTC).

 

A 7 rings large vault in the -,- quadrant built by Ransacki players. It was disabled and flooded on December 18th 2019 by a coalition of nations at the end of the [[War_of_The_Coalition|Ransacki war]]. See [[The_Fall_of_Corvus]]

 

A large (? rings) vault in the +,+ quadrant built by Laconia. It was attacked and disabled by Mir and [[Entente]] during the [[Entente-Laconia War]]. It is known as "Mount Doom" from the name of the mountain that stood at the position of the vault prior to its construction.
