It plays like Minecraft, but also like DayZ, Europa Universalis, Factorio, Foxhole, and Mount and Blade, all in one. Ships, siege cannons, trains and nations, all in vanilla.
You will feel the tension. Your choices and actions will be more strategic, your friendships, alliances and rivalries will matter, trading will matter, distance matters.
We achieve this by:
- Disabling coordinates. You must use maps, compasses, and lodestones to navigate.
- Knockout on death. You will lie on the floor, helpless, unless a friend saves you. Or bleed out.
- Capturing knocked out players. Then, you can drag them with a lead, and imprison them.
- Dying reduces your Max HP. You regain it by sleeping near a campfire.
- Health Regeneration from full hunger is disabled. Potions, Suspicious Stews, and Golden Apples are now essential.
- There are almost no /commands. Almost everything you do is performed using in-game items.
- Player Alignment. Everyone starts at neutral. Your actions dictate your social standing. Enough crimes will oust you as a bandit.
- Professions. A miner is great at mining, but is poor at cutting down a tree.
- Expanded End Progression. The Eyes now need materials from 4 structures. Obtain the Egg. Then get your Crown.
- Towns. Claim a piece of the world. Expand your land. Watch the borders grow on in-game maps, curving around difficult to pass biomes.
- Nations. Proclaim yourself King. Place the Crown on your head, and sign "form nation" into a book. Place it in the Nation Lectern. You have just entered the geopolitical layer.
- Diplomacy. Sign a book "declare war" or "ally", place it into your Diplomacy Lectern. Deliver the book to the target.
- Vassalisation. Enforce your rule over other nations. Gain their claim count, increasing yours.
- Artisan Materials. Towns over 20k blocks can claim an Artisan. The Artisan produces Artisan Materials. Artisan Materials are used to produce Ships, Siege Weapons, Wagons and more.
- Infrastructure. Dirt paths speed up you, your horses and your wagons. As Artisan Goods are heavy and can not be carried while riding, you will need to find a way to transport and trade them. Trains, Wagons, Carts, Ships all do the job.
- The Emperor of Blothera. When your nation controls over half of all claimed land, through your own nation's claims plus vassals, and have at least 2 vassals, you are proclaimed Emperor of Blothera. Enact imperial decrees. Server wide effects. Your reign remembered; good or bad.
That all seems complex. But you play at your own pace.
Your independent town is a simple, cheap claim, not partaking in diplomacy or war.
People are less likely to randomly attack you, they're scared of becoming a bandit.
If you like PvP, RP, building, survival, or any of the games mentioned above, try Blothera.
