A vault is a structure used to store prisonpearls[[Comprehensive_Guide:Combat#Exile_Pearl|pearled and exilepearlsplayers]].

Toto protect thisthe pyramid, other fortifications may be built around it, such as concentric rings of obsidian walls, cobwebsbastions and bastionsobsidian, sometimes referred to as "nerd rings". A bunker or tower is often constructed above the vault, where supplies for fighters are stored. A large, ringed vault is often referred to as a "megavault". These vaults range in size greatly, from [[Varkonia]]'s 3 ring vault, to Mir's 30+ ring megavault.
 
A large, ringed vault is often referred to as a "megavault". These vaults can take many hours to break, though range in size greatly, from Varkonia's 3 ring vault, to Mir's 30+ ring megavault.
== History ==▼
Vaults have existed since Civcraft 1.0 after PrisonPearl was added. Vaults were effectively big obsidian pyramids that would take hours to break. As time went on vaults got more and more complex. The first ring vaults claim to have been built by a few people or groups, FAGT, Peter and Clone. However, the first ring vault to be tested in combat was Clone's vault which had two rings, the outer a conventional web ring that did not follow bastion fields and the inner, a lava ring designed to drown ▼

attackers. The Titan vault was the logical conclusion of Clone's vault - the web rings were devastating and led to the pearling of the person who later designed the Titan vault, the lava ring was useless. Later, the more advanced "megavaults" were pioneered by the world police, during and after Titan, specifically players like Diet Cola, Tealnerd and Bonkill in Civcraft 2.0. Such advanced vaults were thought to be unbreakable until the fall of Nox after a long siege towards the end of 2.0.

There was a schism in vault doctrine during and after [[Civcraft 3.0]]. Diet_Cola pioneered what are now known as Cola Cubes, while others took existing nerd rings and optimized them far beyond 2.0 standards. Cola cube type vaults function as an array of bastion squares while nerd rings have overlapping bastions in an octagonal shape. The exception to this schism was Mir that continued to build linear rings optimized for space and respecting bastions in but 1 dimension rather than the two dimensional cola cubes. See the section on ring design for a deeper analysis.
 
== Notable Standing Vaults ==
 
===[[Mir]]===
[[Mir|Mir's]] vault is fully entrenched and has aover modest 30+thirty 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.
 
===[[Hallow]]===
