Vault: Difference between revisions

===[[Mir]]===

[[Mir|Mir's]] vault is fully entrenched and has a modest 30+ rings, however, despite being scouted the main feature of the vault was, apparently, missed. It is surrounded by another entrenched city with all farms required for advanced XP production.

=== Mir's Second Mega Vault ===

[[Mir|Mir's]] second mega vault is fully entrenched and has a modest 10 rings and sky defences. Labelled a Folly by most Mirians due to it's proximity to the larger Mirian Hyper Vault.

=== Mir's Third Mega Vault ===

[[Mir|Mir's]] third mega vault is fully entrenched and has a modest 10 rings and sky defences. Labelled a Folly by most Mirians due to it's proximity to the larger Mirian Hyper Vault.

A three part [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY548SXhI44&list=PLjCnvKaCpHeTNymF0QY2ycrYF8kim3_FS DevotedMC series], though somewhat outdated, offers a video explanation of foundational vault mechanics.

 

=== Pyramid ===

=== Rings ===

Rings prevent a player from walking over to a pyramid by being a physical wall they cannot break through easily. Ideally a player cannot place blocks to pillar over these rings due to bastion blocks.

 

The most complete original ring vault was Titan where the bastion fields didn't follow the ring walls (or perhaps it was built incorrectly). The most important innovation since was to outline the bastion field perfectly with the ring wall. This was realised independently by Mir and Tealnerd during the aftermath of the Titan war. All subsequent vaults have followed this concept. It is effective as it means attackers have to be inside the ring, standing over the edge of the ring, or placing through an IRO hole they've broken in order to break the bastion all of which are either exceedingly dangerous or easy to counter.

 

Around Civcraft 3.0 bastion fields were changed from an approximation of a circle to a simple square. This caused some change in ring shape. Diet_Cola theorised Cola Cubes - fully walled bastion fields on all four faces with various traps within. Mir applied the simplest change - which was to have a square vault. Other groups, usually from the Aegis/Anguish school of vault building maintained the curved design of the rings despite having square bastions. Briefly the advantages are discussed below:

 

Cola Cubes - These are bastion efficient and excellent defence against a ground attack. They are very space inefficient. Few vaults use them now, however.
