Viceroy Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) IP: 167.160.93.172:42420 version: 1.18.15 The second iteration in the making... Discord invite link: https://discord.gg/FAv6fZtmTa Are you on the hunt for a server where you can join forces with your friends, engage with other groups, create your own nation, dive into roleplay, and even partake in some healthy competition? Look no further than Atlas Civilizations! Our world is intentionally smaller to foster closer group interactions, along with world generation improvements. By default, we enable PvP, aiming to provide a unique experience compared to your typical PvE Vintage Story server. Now, you might wonder if joining our server means immediate danger of getting ambushed by other players. Contrary to any stereotypes, rest assured that such incidents have not occurred (at least not yet). We take pride in our respectful and welcoming community, with systems in place to make your journey from the spawn point a bit smoother. At Atlas Civilizations, we believe that Vintage Story is most enjoyable when experienced with a group of friends who can complement each other and collaborate towards a shared objective. In our philosophy, that goal could involve founding a town, nation, tribe, or civilization, whatever term suits your fancy. Solo players are also welcomed, and some have thrived in this dynamic setting. Roleplay is at the heart of our server. You can build your own town, establish trade networks, build roads connecting various settlements, host events, form alliances, and even wage war if the situation calls for it. The choices are yours, but do remember that your actions will have consequences, whether good or bad. It's all up to you to determine your fate. Our server recently underwent a reset, and our dedicated team of developers is hard at work, drawing from lessons learned from the previous iteration to provide a quality server experience. We're actively engaging our community through polls and welcoming suggestions to ensure that we align with what our community desires. Join us on our Discord server to stay updated on our development progress. Spoiler History The initial release took place on July 1st of this year. The project gained significant attention for being one of the few with PvP functionality and adopting a civilizations theme. Mods such as Rusty Shell, Firearms, and CivBastions became notable additions to Atlas. As the server's iteration progressed, claims were eliminated in favor of a reinforcement system, enhancing the PvP element. The player count for Atlas reached its peak at 24, securing a spot on the top server list and maintaining a consistent number of online players throughout. Civilizations like Comeria, Slvan, Ylldrum, Hedgehogs, Atlachan, and Daveahr flourished, while some declined early and others persevered until the end. The original development team consisted of a group of skilled developers. However, unforeseen technical issues arose, leading the team to make the difficult decision to reset the server and begin anew, armed with valuable lessons learned. During this challenging period, some team members chose to depart for other projects, and we extend our best wishes to them in their future endeavors. Take a look at player builds from the last iteration: Ylldrum courtyard: Spawn library: Cannons lined up on walls of Coméria: Hedgehogs tower: Sylvan circle village: Coméria's armory: Overall view over Atlachan: The Atlas team: Marlim: founder, developer Colecionador: developer Cydeadhunter: moderator Barbatana: moderator Any Questions about Atlas, make sure to ask! We hope to see you someday on the server when it launches, so make sure to follow this thread Edited December 16, 2023 by Viceroy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Currently what is holding us back a bit are new Wildcraft mods because the old ones are discontinued and won't be updated. Mods that add content to world generation are always scetchy, meaning once you install them you can not easily take them off. In the meantime we are testing the mods we will be using 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viceroy Posted December 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Microphone crackles. "Ahem..." The announcer swallows, his throat dry. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming this evening." Nervously, he looks down at his notes, taking a deep breath to deliver the next line. Sensing the audience's impatience, he glances towards them. "You have waited long, often left in the dark. Development news came in small hints to the public, but the same could not be said about the inner circles. The team expanded by two members, Cydeadhunter and Viceroy, injecting fresh energy. Discussions were held on a daily basis, brainstorming new ideas." He looks down, then up again. "Why did it take so long, you may ask? Sure, you can set up a server within a couple of weeks." "Maybe less," someone from the back seats says semi-loudly, followed by immediate slight mumbling in the audience. "A certain mod was greatly anticipated with no release in sight. It could greatly improve the general aesthetics of the map, add exciting content. We waited and waited..." He pauses briefly. "However, it became apparent that waiting any longer is not an option. So, we kicked into overdrive to finish the job before the winter holidays." Enthusiastically raising his voice, expecting a positive reaction, the audience looks slightly annoyed, some people repositioning themselves in their seats. "We went on with the usual stuff, configuring mods and building the spawn area. Marlim, Colectinado, Viceroy, and Cydeadhunter hard at work." "This next line will surely lift their spirits!" The announcer thinks to himself. "Rivers! Yes, we said we need this mod." A smile appears on his face as he sees the eyes of the audience widen. "It came just in time, almost like an early Christmas present. A real Rivers world generation mod and Plains and Valleys. What a wonderful combination. The world has never looked this alive from what we've seen, and you get to see it as well!" "Holy smokes, we are so back!" someone exclaims, and the audience cheers. "Rivers for real?" "The next week. The next week, we are live, and you can join us on this journey. Invite your friends, build a town, establish your civilization, engage in some healthy competition! Solo players are welcome as well." Lively murmuring within the audience still continues. "December 15th. Mark your calendars. Be there. You should!" "Thank you," said the announcer as the audience stood up, applauding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
