=== World War One - Old Foes, Old Tricks ===
Thought it has been argued that the first Devoted World War took place before the formation of the World Police, it certainly was caused by one group exhibiting behaviour classically associated with the WP: snitching another nation without their permission. The one side of the war who did the snitching consisted of the nations of [[Volterra]], which has been a continuous community since Civcraft 2.0 (and was officially known as Irithyl on Devoted, but many people continued to refer to it as Volterra), and the nation of Uguu. Uguu was run by Malen, an old WP-aligned bounty hunter from 2.0, and a number of newfriends who would become controversial in the future, such as [[Poortea
=== World War Two - World Police Strikes Back ===
The second Devoted World War began when Veritas member and newfriend Coni confronted other Veritas members killing and vaulting a non-criminal individual. Disillusioned with their group, Coni released many of the WP pearled during the first World War and defected to a new group called Ruin, which was ran by Dollaz and consisted of many former WP from 2.0.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/5mlknw/im_sorry_im_really_sorry/</ref>Veritas twice attacked the Ruin vault but failed both times after all of their fighters were trapped within the vault rings and pearled, resulting in a resounding victory for Ruin, Volterra, and the new World Police.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/5o9vcm/wee_pee_wins/</ref>
=== World War Three - The Chimeran Civil War ===
In the aftermath of the third Devoted World War, the victorious WP side reformed into the Chimera Alliance on March 7, 2017.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/5y1ni7/the_chimera_alliance/</ref>Like some WP groups before it, though they consisted of players traditionally associated with the World Police, they assured the server that they would not intervene in the affairs of another nation unless asked to. The Chimera Alliance was made up of Volterra, Ruin, and the nation of New Veritas, which was ran by Coni, other anti-Veritas defectors, and some newfriends.
The stage for WW3 began to be set when a senator for Volterra raided and looted what they believed to be an inactive ally of theirs on March 30, 2017.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/62b42r/real_proof_volterra_raided_their_own_small_ally/</ref>The last remaining resident of the town called them out and asked for the loot back, but Volterra refused. This planted the seed in the minds of many of Volterra being raiders and backstabbers to their allies. The war officially began when Santa, another senator from Volterra, freed the pearls of some of his friends from the Ruin vault, using the justification that the Ruin vault was made from much of Volterra's old wealth from the first World War.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/62ct4g/volterra_attacks_ruin_vault/</ref>A civil war in the alliance began with Ruin and Volterra against each other and New Veritas quietly exiting the scene. Unbeknownst to Volterra, many of those that Santa freed were double agents for Ruin, and they led Volterran fighters into traps on a few occasions. After Volterra learned of this betrayal and pearled the double agents, Ruin fighters attacked their vault but quickly became trapped. The Ruin fighters attempted to brute-force their way out and dig up the vault, letting Volterra pearl many of their fighters in the process. Ruin was defeated but still stood, and a peace was declared on April 5, 2017.<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gHEUpKbhY4cR4T0EmpFs7fayx1zRQCHu6BARdCA4JFA/edit</ref>
==== World War Four - WW3 Part 2? ====
Unsatisfied with their defeat and still wanting to punish Volterra for their actions against them, Ruin attacked and pearled three of Volterrans while they were on a trading mission, violating Mt. Augusta's sovereignty in the process, on May 4, 2017.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/695j7f/the_ruin_war_of_server_hegemony_why_ruin_is_not/</ref>On the same day, Ruin once again attacked the Volterra vault and this time attacked during a time when only one Volterran defender was online- Santa. Santa was successful in slowing down the attack but was not able to thwart it altogether.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76h3MZbkZo4</ref>The Volterrans then staged a counter-attack on the Ruin vault, aided by one of their members who inexplicably had access to the Ruin skybunker. After entering the skybunker, the Volterrans began to break the Ruin bastions, but became trapped when the WP learned what they were doing and removed the Volterran from the group. After the Volterrans escaped, a fight ensued on top of the skybunker, leading to a resounding Volterran victory with no casualties.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHz6SplDUJE&t=326s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHz6SplDUJE]</ref>A final peace was declared on May 30, 2017.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Devoted/comments/6e56z4/peace_between_volterra_ruin/</ref>As the summer began, many Devoted players, including the majority of Volterra and Ruin, grew bored of the server and became more interested in the newly launched [[CivClassic 2.0]], leading to the Civ community as a whole deaming CivClassic the main civ server for the remainder of its existence.
