I built an Empire on Minecraft’s Oldest Worldbuilding server

Over the past month i built an empire in minecraft i negotiated deals dealt with bandits made alliances connected to a server-wide rail system and even competed in the annual olympic games this all took place in survival on one of the most unique servers civ classics a server with a decade old

Community and hundreds of nations and some of the most amazing builds minecraft has ever seen but even the great nations started from nothing and this is the story of my nation vulcan i logged on after seeing a reddit post where potara 15 was claiming my land for their new nation built over

I had been inactive for some time but had been planning to make a return later this summer after seeing this post my timetable was pushed forward it became clear petar and his recruits had taken up residence in the main building i’ve been working on upon a little further exploration

He’d already built his obsidian reinforced bunker directly below yeah look at this he literally built underneath my base i argued the claim on reddit which led to me talking to patar on discord from the start neither of us were going to budge but soon patar offered a buyout

At this time i did not have much wealth and out of fear of being pearled i took his offer and moved across the canyon where i laid a successful claim for the nation of vulcan which was recognized by the other nations in the plus plus quadrant fueled by my dissatisfaction over the

Deal i quickly moved my loot and placed a snitch in a temporary chest room and laid the plans for vulcan’s development recognizing how close i was to batara and our ongoing tensions i immediately hit the mines and found a diamond vein which kickstarted the wealth of vulcan feeling crammed in the small

Chest room i built vulcan’s first building which would act as a community house from which we’d grow and grow we did i hit up nephew a best friend from childhood and veteran sivcraft player after showing him around he finished my previously located diamond vein and began building our

Floating island which would later house the statue of vulcan after visiting pacum and procuring a piece of art for vulcan it was time for vulcan to step it up a notch a few hours of mining later we were able to lay down our very first factory and or smelter

And double our wealth after mining a second diamond vane towards the end of our mining runs nearby neighbors visited vulcan despite getting off to a rocky start they showed up and seemed very friendly after following carl linus back to his home and realizing he was a solo player newer to civ servers

We invited him to join vulcan carlinos immediately broke down camp and followed us back becoming our first recruit and took leadership of our builders guild we showed carlinis the city’s plans and gathered the materials he would need to build the builder’s tower carl linus being from denmark was ready

To go to bed while nephew and i were just getting started for the night nephew began working on the miners cave to house the miners guild while i set out on a far journey across the world to the imc for a trade it was a long rail ride which passed many

Impressive sites after leaving the plus plus quadrant i quickly understood the truth of what i had previously heard my quadrant was the most underdeveloped in comparison to the others upon nearing the destination i set off on foot and ran into sir frenchie who was working on a very large bridge

Project he would help me connect with dark muffin who possessed the bastions i came for upon arriving home i was able to place these bastions that i had just purchased to finally solidify our borders during this time nephew had finished most of the miner’s cave and acquired many more iron and diamonds

It was time for us to begin the construction of vulcan’s officer castle before beginning we decided we needed better pickaxes and headed to westminster another far rail ride i met a necessary skin update on the way then we arrived and went a little overboard shopping purchasing a very large quantity of obsidian

And an assortment of gambled enchanted tools we headed back and first built our office revolt before continuing work on the castle the next day nephew and i once again split duties with the builder’s tower being handled by carl linus the miners cave already being complete nephew decided to build the farmer’s

Barn to house the farmer’s guild the third and final guild while he was working on that i tunneled 2 700 blocks to the zero z railway and through the use of a rail factory connected wolken to the map wide rail network up to this point we have had limited interactions with the community

But that was about to change the server-wide olympics celebrating the four-year anniversary of civ classics was vulcan’s first chance to interact with other world leaders it also provided an opportunity to compete and prove ourselves as a nation with this in mind i journeyed to ice nia the nation hosting the olympics

Nephew would be unable to attend so i would be representing vulcan competing in a 1v1 tournament after some light small talk with the other leaders i immediately found myself ready to fight We’re still going directly and both opponents jumping in freestyle might have done it off of that one dill is staying on the ground pretty even so far freestyle pushing them back oh dale rain supreme i won but this was only the beginning in my next fight i went up against a familiar face

Let’s go who will win question mark the lex is an old man deluxe is an old friend he did play siv craft uh not very regularly running circles that was a little bit of a shift right there once you took out some air all right i did like sir frenchies so

The striders using that round but deluxe is tracking superior with two victories i was on to the quarterfinals this would be my hardest fight yet all right getting some interesting hits on vote labor they’re both pretty close a lot of w tapping i think james yeah

I’d lost the fight and my chance at a podium placement vote labor would then go on to win the whole tournament claiming a gold medal at least i could hold my head up high knowing he only survived with one heart and i was his closest fight

I later competed in the 3v3 with eamonn and brutal dorito creating new relationships with new nations we were able to win our first fight good guys oh my god i got i got instantly comboed way to do it but lost in the second round again

To those who would go on to claim gold i’m also 1v1 i’m wearing my pretty bad i got killed by thoughts oh i am dead i’m sorry it’s too late oh in the image of vulcan i put a good showing and despite not achieving the results i had hoped for

I made an impact not long after the olympics nephew and i were continuing work on vulcan’s buildings and the new nation claimed land a very short walk from vulcan after exploring their builds we returned to vulcan feeling safe we naively didn’t think anything of it when we decided to

Log off for the night after a successful day this new nation turned out to be formed by a group of swedish players only a few hours after we logged off their day would begin and during that day two of their members would make a move against vulcan

We would catch two of their players on our snitches breaking our or smelter and raiding our original chest room thank goodness we had the foresight to move our riches to our office revolt fearful of a large group living so close i headed to daisenia the same place i

Had been just days before competing in a pvp tournament but now i would be using the majority of vulcan’s wealth to buy armor and swords for pvp with stakes much higher than just metals lotuff the leader of carson another nation nearby had been very kind and helpful towards

Vulcan as we began and would soon give us the remaining names of the new friend nation called dania and i would relay the names to our newest and strongest allies imc remember sir frenchie and dark muffin from earlier our previous interactions had led to a discussion between myself and their leader wilson

Solidifying our alliance within 12 hours of dania attacking vulcan imc had sent over dark muffin to assist in removing this nation from their base that night after i logged off dark muffin would be successful in pearling five of we now know to be seven of them their pearls would

Be held in imc’s vault a vault too strong for the remaining two to ever free and with that one misstep the neighbors who threatened vulcan security became imprisoned ensuring their security of vulcan to continue its final stages of development over the next few days nephew and i would finish the homes and

Infrastructure of all the guilds a barrier wall and the pinnacle of its capital the vulcan castle with all this in place vulcan would then claim more land to avoid any new settlers directly on our border and secure land to expand to as we would begin to recruit more players

And that’s where you yes you watching this video could enter our story if you want to join civ classics the information for doing so is in the description with vulcan finally being an established independent nation recognized server-wide will be recruiting over the next month considering rising tensions on the

Server it is likely vulcan will soon find itself involved in conflict i’ll be covering the future vulcan here on my channel so please consider subscribing if you’ve watched this far please also leave a like and comment as this took many hours to record and edit i’d love to hear what you thought vulcan

May still be a small settlement and fairly far distance from an actual empire but every empire starts somewhere and this is where vulcan started thanks for watching
