Gods And Gold Political Fantasy SMP
consequence basedFaction PoliticsMature Communitypolitical smpRoleplay Conflict
Gods and Gold is a Minecraft server that is all about politics culture and fantasy while still letting you enjoy the usual chaotic fun of the game. It tries to be a long term world where stories and lore grow over time between different players and groups.
Here you can make your own history and your own nation. You can team up with friends or become rivals. If you do not like writing or planning a lot you can just join one of the staff made factions. Those factions already have their own culture and NPCs so you can jump in fast and still climb the political ladder.
The server uses a national and political system instead of simple land claims. You get land through titles and you can earn those by economy military politics or civic work. There are rules for succession abdication elections and even usurping so power can shift in many ways as long as people remember it is just a game.
There is a player run economy where money is renewable. The players control it and there are lots of money sinks like land upkeep tithes war costs buffs and cosmetics. So the economy can boom or crash but it is still meant to be fun.
The server wants balanced warfare and it understands that not everyone can grind all the time. The whole idea is to let people enjoy politics conflict and story without needing to no life the game.
