The Civ+ Bible

Welcome to Civ+

Here, the goal is to simulate political ideologies by allowing players to moderate themselves. That means the rules are entirely player-dictated. This guide serves as a comprehensive resource for both new and seasoned players, detailing the server’s design philosophy and an in-depth look at the plugins that power our world.

Design Philosophy

Civ+ aims to solve fundamental flaws in the traditional Civ genre while maintaining its spirit. Our primary goal is to create an environment where players can experiment with self-governance and build thriving nations. To achieve this, we provide extensive tools and plugins that empower players to protect their assets, manage their groups, and foster vibrant communities.

Our World: The map is lovingly hand painted. It spans approximately 12k by 12k blocks and features a wide variety of biomes and land features. The Nether is disabled. The world border will fluctuate by several blocks at random intervals, so world border vaults and structures are inadvisable.
