Derzhavy
Cities, nations and war
A mod where building and negotiating pay better than fighting. The rules are executed by the mod itself, so admins rarely step in and everyone can see that it is fair.
Full rules on the wikiFound a city
Craft a Foundation Stone, place it, name the city — nine chunks are yours at once. A city of one is allowed.
Hold land with people
Land limit = 16 chunks + 8 for every active resident. Upkeep is paid weekly from a treasury of real items.
Plots, districts, shops for rent
Residents own their plots. Nobody else — not even the mayor — breaks a block there. Shops can be rented in any city.
Nations and vassals
Three neighbouring cities form a nation: cheaper upkeep, common defence, the right to declare war and sign treaties.
War in battle windows
Three two-hour windows a week, set by when the defenders really play. Sectors are captured by presence, not by destruction.
Relics
Legendary chunks appear near settled land and give their owner a bonus — a reason to grow in one direction and argue about another.
Help for newcomers
A protected starter camp for 30 days, a cheaper Foundation Stone, discounts for cities that take newcomers in.
Everything on the map
Borders, vassals, debts, fronts and relics are drawn live on the world map.
