Look up the terms used throughout this wiki and the boundaries of this version.

This wiki documents Civilizations 1.0.1. Numbers are bundled defaults; in-game menus and previews show your server’s current values.

This version does not implement alliances/federations, a diplomacy graph, general civilization upkeep, territory decay, automatic leadership succession, automatic CoreProtect rollback, or shared multi-server operation. Weekly private-plot tax is implemented and is distinct from general civilization upkeep. There is no player command to withdraw civic stockpile items.

Player-initiated succession is available through /civ claimleadership after a leader is offline for seven full days. See eligibility and campaign restrictions.
