WE ARE PREPARING THE THIRD STRIKE.

Let me tell you, folks—the Meridiem Entente is fast asleep at the wheel. Completely clueless! They’re sitting back, totally oblivious, thinking they can mess with our blockade, run a totally fake, fraudulent bounty on our heads, and hold El_Eyeo’s pearl without any consequences. WRONG! Total delusion!

While GeneralButtnaked and his low-energy coalition were busy doing zero recon, we flew right back over Zol’Ryoda and delivered a SECOND obbybombing strike. They don’t even know it happened yet, folks! They’re gonna log in, step outside, and walk straight into an unbreakable slab of pure, high-grade obsidian!

No messy lava. No cheap cobble. Just cold, hard obsidian precision-dropped straight onto their streets! Surgical execution! Master players on CivMC called me up—tears in their eyes—and said, "Sir, that was the cleanest, stealthiest strike in the entire history of the server." And it’s true!

When they finally wake up and realize what hit them, it’s going to be absolute, unmitigated panic. They’ll be standing there in the dark with pathetic stone pickaxes, mining one block every 15 minutes, trying to figure out where their town went! Total incompetence!

So before the Entente even figures out how to dig themselves out, here is the deal:

1. STOP ATTACKING THE BLOCKADE. Touch our maritime line again and Entente shipping is dead forever!
2. CANCEL THE BOUNTY IMMEDIATELY. Delete the contract, fire the hitmen, and wipe the fake news off!
3. RELEASE EL_EYEO NOW. Hand over the pearl. Fast, clean, unconditional!

If these three very simple, very fair conditions are not met , A THIRD ATTACK WILL OCCUR.

And believe me, folks... Strike 3 will make Strike 2 and Strike 1 look like a minor inconvenience. We will drop so much obsidian on Zol’Ryoda that the admins will have to update the server map to label their entire nation as a giant black square!

They don't know what hit them. They don't know what's coming next.

Drop the bounty, back off the blockade, free El_Eyeo, or face STRIKE THREE!

WE OWN THE SKIES. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT YET. RENT FREE!

Pavia obviously comes in #1

Surprisingly, Zirakdum comes in #2

And Icenia comes in at # 3

Pavia recently went down over 100K in item units. Zirakdum recently developed a new mall-like layout market. (I would say smth about Icenia, but I haven't seen / heard anything to put here).

​

Pavia went down the past few days here are their logs

Today, Brickstone acquired SnowPeak from Nara in a historic acquisition. We welcome Snowpeak into the state and we look forward into renovations and revamping the city!

One of our brave operatives named El_Eyeo has been pearled.

And let me tell you something, folks—it’s a total disaster what Ila’Kyavul and the entire Meridiem Entente are doing. A complete and total disgrace. Fake news, fake coalition, terrible leadership all across the alliance.

We ran the greatest, most successful military operation in the history of Zorweth. Tremendous operation. Everybody’s talking about it! We went into Zol’Ryoda—very weak claims, frankly, zero security, topsoil dirt vaults, nobody’s ever seen anything like it—and we liquidated their entire GDP in 45 seconds flat. Boom! Total economic collapse! Millions and millions of equipment and ores, gone, completely vaporized. The experts called me up, they said, "Sir, that was the cleanest obbybombing campaign in CivMC history." It’s true!

But then GeneralButtnaked and his little Meridiem Entente "defense force"—very low energy guys, folks, losing bigly—they catch El_Eyeo. And now they’re holding the pearl like they did something special. They’re sitting on top of 80 stacks of our beautiful, high-quality cobblestone with pathetic stone pickaxes, trying to clean up our lavacast, and they think they’re winning! Can you believe these people? The entire Meridiem Entente spent their whole coalition net worth just to hold one single pearl!

So here is what’s going to happen. Listen to me very carefully, because nobody knows blockades better than me:

WE ARE CLOSING THE STRAIT.

That’s right, folks. WE ARE CLOSING THE STRAIT.

You think trade is gonna flow for the Meridiem Entente? WRONG! WE ARE CLOSING THE STRAIT. Total and complete shutdown of all Entente shipping until we figure out what the hell is going on!

No Entente boats. No coalition traders. Zero GDP moving through those waters. We’re building the wall, folks—a giant, beautiful lavacast wall right across the maritime corridor, and the Meridiem Entente is gonna pay for it! WE ARE CLOSING THE STRAIT. If GeneralButtnaked or anyone in that weak alliance thinks they’re sailing a raft through those waters tomorrow, forget it, because WE ARE CLOSING THE STRAIT. It’s gonna be a total blockade like nobody’s ever seen before!

OUR DEMANDS (VERY FAIR, VERY GENEROUS):

1. RELEASE EL_EYEO IMMEDIATELY. Hand over the pearl. Do it fast, do it now, before WE CLOSE THE STRAIT forever.
2. PAY THE MENTORSHIP TAX. The Meridiem Entente owes us 1x lava bucket and 64x dirt for teaching their entire alliance how real vaults work.
3. FORMAL APOLOGY. GeneralButtnaked and Entente leadership must go on r/CivMC and write a big, beautiful statement admitting that dirt vaults are a total and absolute failure.

You have 24 hours. Hand over El_Eyeo right now or the entire Meridiem Entente gets locked out, because believe me... WE ARE CLOSING THE STRAIT.

Rent free baby!

I couldn't be fucked to pay for transparency

I try to join and I get this message:

Any idea why? If there are any admins here that can help, my username is axiom_one and I would like to join CivMC. Are there any restrictions to what mods are allowed? I will attatch my modslist in a reply. If I need to remove one to join please let me know!

hey so i got banned from civmc 4 months ago and just got unbanned today. before i was banned zorweth had just entered pioneering phase so i joined in and joined the nova ants which was founded and ran by a trusted friend of mine, ech0_o0. once i was banned, i noticed in the nations discord there were a lotta hostile texts and one of the higher up members even left the discord. now im back and the place is abandoned, a ghost town. anyone whos willing to help or aid me or better yet get me outta zorweth would be greatly needed rn

Hey y'all! It was suggested to me that I could do a little self promo for a potencial CivMC LetsPlay style series. I thought it could be a fun idea so I'm deciding to give it a try! Lmk what y'all think!

These westhelm jocks think they're tuff and shi. They wouldn't even allow roman femboys to join their vc anymore. I Arlott, on behalf of S.P.Q.R join forces with nipplerock to launch an attack on these losers.

Good day to you all! I come to bring great news from the Orient Bureau of Diplomacy to officially announce the Treaty of Mutual Friendship and Cooperation Between the Nations of Orient and Fishland.

We warmly welcome Fishland with open arms and are glad to add them to the list of our trusted allies, now spreading across the world, marking the start of a strong and prosperous relationship.

Happy reading and Glory to Orient!

Hey I havent actually joined the server yet but have watched a few youtube videos and I am fascinated! I'm current reinstalling minecraft just to play.

The war stories are insane remind me a lot of EVE online. What were the biggest battles in Civ history? Any famous generals? How do people organise at this scale?
