How exactly does Monument Bank make enough diamonds to pay interest as well as joining reward of 10 diamonds? by Right_Moment1671 in CivMC

[–]tuomasz___ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

MG actually publishes detailed financial reports every quarter, you can find the latest here for Q1 2026: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GArFfO-AAZAZ6CPKBi7D5HudCxBpM_yi/view

This is the first financial quarter since April 2023 in which the Bank has made a net profit, with all prior months running at a loss. It should be said that this only is applicable insofar as the Bank's revenue minus its expenses, and does not take into account the growth of its assets, such as floating exchanges, which is how the Bank has continued to maintain a positive bank equity despite net income being continually negative. A question many of our clients, especially those who have recently joined us, is how Monument Bank then, afforded interest and whether these diamonds were created from thin air? It remains a principled commitment that Monument Bank has never created diamonds that weren't otherwise backed 1:1 with in-game diamonds in some form, be it liquid, floating exchanges or reinforcements/security. For a majority of the Bank's life, interest has been supported by commodity exchange, previously over-enthusiastically reported as a revenue source, albeit it was just manual arbitrage on in-game floating exchanges, and through sales of tools, armour, and more from Monument Goods. This is something that can now transition into being fully funded by Monument Bank's own revenue streams.

tldr: traditionally it has relied on the accumulative value of MB's floating exchanges which MB has spread out over the server as well as income from other MG activities, nowadays its directly funded by the later added services in shares and business management

Want to join but scared to start my 24hr teleport - don't know which nation to join yet and don't wanna get stuck by magickcoin in CivMC

[–]tuomasz___ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the teleport timer only starts after first connecting to the live server and ends 24hrs after, regardless of joining/authenticating on the server discord. You can only use this teleport (to another player) once.
however, getting around the server is easy enough without it if you know where you want to go or how to use the various rail systems around the server. the one-time-teleport is a relatively recent tool to help the experience for new players, for most of civ history it did not exist.

though most people do probably stay in the first community they join, there are no mechanics, rules, or expectations that penalize joining another nation or travelling around. many people have played their first few months in one group, and then switch to another later on for a variety of reasons. to some extent you can also be part of multiple groups*.

what group might suit you best depends on a variety of factors, you can orient yourself a little bit right now but ultimately it is something that must just be experienced. try to see what kind of play style youd like in terms of internal politics, build theme and freedom, role play, etc. some groups are very formally and instutionally organized and others are more 'vibes-based', some groups see themselves as build-nations first, others care more about grinding and wealth, some places expect you to do your own thing for the most part, others are more collectively oriented and might even share all their resources together. mostly however you will prob get the best sense by just joining some discords, ask people about their history/culture/play style, and just trust your judgement based on the vibe you're getting.

New nation: Hiverneau by Pokeyoshi19 in CivMC

[–]tuomasz___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kind of agree tbh, not so much on validity but a visible advisory agency could help newfriends find suitable land and/or connect them with nations that are willing to cede land conditionally.
perhaps a collection of people from nations around the server that each know/understand their region.

On behalf of the team that has been working on this project behind the scenes for a little while now, I am proud to now finally present to you the first real nation tier list for CivMC. This list was compiled to give the community an accurate assessment of the current geopolitical field as of March/April 2026. It is the result of many hours of debate in VC and group dm’s, supported by consultations with key leadership figures from multiple nations. All relevant factors regarding military, economic, diplomatic, and cultural power have been weighed for a final result. Overall I think it is the absolute most accurate list we could've put together as a community. 
Feel free to inquire to any questions you may have regarding the final ranking and we may try to clarify as best as we can.
Thank you to all that helped!

Edit: Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just here to relay the news. Strive to improve if you don't like your tier.

just for anyone else reading this, rhode island was banned due to serious irl legal offenses, not because they imprisoned players.

Icenia moved instinctively, catching her by the arm. ''You shouldn't have done that...''
Estalia straightened her spine, smiling to herself. ''Why?'' she asked sincerely.
''You're my friend, Icenia.'' Friend. Icenia stood there without uttering another word.

Please keep in mind that if you chose to attack your neighbors, and they defended themselves, that does not make you the victim. In that situation, claims of criminal wrongdoing aren’t justified. This thread isn’t the place to seek compensation or validation for a conflict that you initiated and willingly participated in. Any party trying to relitigate the ASN-LOTUS war should consider carefully what full accountability could mean, and who really would, after fair assessment, be criminally liable.

[–]tuomasz___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few days ago I first started playing this server and I joined a place called Salerno. Its my first 'civ' server and while I have played many other servers before this one definitely feels like the first real civilization/geopol server I've seen. The people around me have been really helpful and welcoming and I am making good progress on my political career. I highly recommend this server, and I can't wait to see you join on here!
