Vintage Civ: Difference between revisions

Little events of importance happened during the first week as [[Player Groups|player groups]] were only beginning to establish themselves. Nations and player groups who had their origins in older servers such CivCraft and CivClassic found new homes in Vintage Civ 1.0. Many veteran Minecraft Civ players finding the differences of Vintage Story (Vintage Civ too) to Minecraft greatly altering how players aswell as towns interacted and managed resources.

After existing for 9 days, the 2.0 beta world was wiped for a new one that was supposed to last til launch day of the actual 2.0 world <ref>SouthernBloc (April 18 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/965749316306214962 this one will most likely last till launch day. I wanted to see variation in the water generation]</ref>. ThisWith this the IP for the Beta was replaced with the new world being the 2.0 Alpha. The new Alpha world has randomspawn on, similiar to other civ servers in the genre, especially in Minecraft. According to SouthernBloc this will apply for the actual 2.0 server that will launch in May <ref>Miloski (April 18 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/965749642916683846 thats going to also apply til actual 2.0?]

After astumbling fewon hoursSouthernBlocs from the launch of the alpha server the playerhomestead Miloski stumbled upon SouthernBloc's homestead on a medium sized island. Withand other two futureplayers residentsbeing McBain and Fey beingall inallied ato discordform calla together, they were informedtown on where the island isSouthernBloc towas joinoriginally thesituated settlementin. As of April 21 this unnamed settlement hashad a total of 4 players currently in the mid-late bronze age with a number of other higher tier items and gear. As of April 24 2022 this server still stays in the regular IP that was used for the beta, while the test server below is now in the main servers usual IP.

On April 23 2022 SouthernBloc launched yet another completely new server which,referred insteadto as simply the "Test" server. Instead of the previous two 2.0 test iterations, it is connected to from the default server IP being play.vintageciv.com and has dirt gravity turned on, changing the way players build and traverse. With the terrain generation being done for the most part and the world map much bigger than the previous two 2.0 iterations, Southern states this server will last til the 2.0 launch day <ref>SouthernBloc (April 23 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/937503678477262908/967570091162099752 @here The Test Server is now launched on the main IP, play.vintageciv.com. This will last until launch day, but the map gen tweaks are done for the most part. The 1.0 server will relaunch on the test box, but we need to test how it works on the main box. I stress that you take some time and play with the mechanics, so come launch day we have the final tweaks ready. Have a good weekend all!]</ref>. The servers name being known as the test server is not an official name but more so a placeholder name given by SouthernBloc in the aforementioned discord message reference. It was noticed the day after the server launched that naturally grown wild crops are unusually rare <ref>SouthernBloc (April 24 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/967917541429219370 wild crops are terrible to try and find ngl]</ref>, along with the fact that the equator is also unusually large, makes finding and growing crops much harder.

The history of the test server as of April 24 is short but eventful. Starting off with a small dirt hut player Nessie made on a mid sized tropical islandbuilt, it quickly gained a handful total of residents after the location started being spread around the Discord due to the tropicalhot locationclimate and thatjust because it was one of the serveronly ownersettlements wasat athe resident theretime. The settlement's wasroster comprised of Fey, Miloski, SouthernBloc, Cratin, and Nessie. After maybe a real life day the civilization started was fruitful, withWith a small farm being built to the side of the now-wooden and stone brick house the new civilization was growing. The island settled on was distinctly shaped like an elephants head, making it known as Elephant Island or Republic of Elephants, names likeof that sort <ref>SouthernBloc (April 23 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/967633858306654268 Elephant Republic]</ref><ref>SouthernBloc (April 232022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/967634121679585360 socialist republic of elephas]</ref><ref>[[File:Elephant.png|thumb|The elephant looking island that the unnamed settlement lived on for almost a day. ]]

Going back to the aforementioned statement about the equator being too large and wild crops being too rare, makes this location especially hard to get food notwith fromother huntingmeans asbesides hunting wellaswell as flax usedbeing indifficult manyto commonfind necessitiesnaturally. inThis [[Vintageall Story]]contributed <ref>[https://wiki.vintagestoryto the reason the settlement there decided to leave the island for good.at/index.php?title=Flax Linen]
