§l NATIONAL NEWS§0 §0§l================§0 §0 §0§lAN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS REMINDER§0 §0 §0THE CITADEL - Yoahtl is a secure and welcoming place for our citizens, residents, and foreign visitors.

One of the most valuable ways to ensure it stays that way is an emergency preparedness plan. Here's a few tips and tricks to ensure you're prepared if disaster strikes:§0 §0 §0-ALWAYS take screenshots of

chest inventories that contain valuables, and keep these screenshots up to date.§0 §0 §0-If there is a risk of attack, the Yoahtlan government will keep you informed. Follow all instructions, and if time and the situation permit

preserve your valuables in a drop chest or logged out on an alt.§0 §0 §0-In the event of an attack on the Yoahtlan state and/or New Yoahtl City, follow the instructions provided to you by gov't officials. This may range from

a defense readiness plan to simply logging out with your valuables for the duration of the attack. §0 §0-Do not panic during an emergency! You run the risk of exacerbating the problem. Remain calm and follow the instructions.

Together, we create a safer and happier Yoahtl.

§l WORLD NEWS§0 §0§l================§0 §0 §0§lADMIN BANS ON THE RISE: TealNerd§0 §0 §0IRL - In the wake of the server's impending 1.12 upgrade, TealNerd announced on the subreddit that they have decided to take a more proactive

approach to preventing harrassment and doxxing. As a result, several players considered by the administration to pose a problem above and beyond the bounds of normal gameplay have now been banned. The history of the civ genre is

rife with in-game disputes spilling over into the real world, and doxxing is a depressing reality our community has dealt with for some time. §0 §0 §0As of now, details are scarce on the duration of the bans and on who is effected. This is a

developing story, stick with the Yoahtl Sun and the subreddit for more information as it comes out!§0 §0 §0§lNEW CITIES RISING: VILLA ESPLENDIDA§0 §0 §0VILLA ESPLENDIDA, TdC - Wide, spacious roads.

Brutalist-inspired architecture. A design aesthetic rife with symbolism. In this first installment of the "New City Rising" series, I had the chance to visit Tierra de Conciencia's newest city-in-progress and speak to its director and chief builder

Godomasta.§0 §0 §0Tierra de Conciencia (or TdC for short) is a neutral island in the mid-Minus-Minus consisting of three cities, populated by a diverse group of mostly leftist builders and grinders who believe in the ideal of

a consensus-based society. Just a short ride away from the beautiful capital was the city I came to see.§0 §0 §0As we ascended from the subway station and into the transportation plaza, one of the first things I noticed was the layout of the plaza -

with almost a dozen spaces for future subway lines, VE has a view of the future. Geometric shapes and strong, defined forms are king in this town, and the eye is naturally drown to its beautiful centerpiece - the government house, complete with

an imposing spire that affords a fantastic view of the surrounding area. §0 §0 §0"We take inspiration from brutalist and deconstructionist architecture", explained Godo as we took in the view. "Think Soviet-era cities like

Tallinn or Petrograd." The inspiration certainly comes alive in town, as well - the concrete forms are a dead ringer for the controversial modern architecture movement.§0 §0 §0After a tour of the city's residential bilding, we made it to the roof and I was

suddenly surrounded by trees, grass, and animals roaming free. "The city was designed with the idea that we should give back to nature what we have taken away." The juxtaposition of green space and concrete is not one ordinarily found in the real world,

but in the world of Minecraft it comes together beautifully through the skilled hand of TdC's master architect.§0 §0 §0The symbolism runs even deeper, however - a tour of VE's grand amphitheatre revealed the story the city aims to

tell. "When you enter, the red glass and stone brick lining the walls forms a chaotic pattern. However, as you reach the podium, the audience stands contain orderly vertical patterns. Order comes out of chaos through the actions of the people who

make up society." The design blurs the line between architecture and art. The city is rife with these little symbols of the amount of care and love put into it. It is a town made by the people and for the people. And who are these people?

"We're hard workers here, and our doors are always open for builders and grinders, but anyone with strong ideals is welcome to join us."§0 §0 §0After walking through more of the city's parkland and touring the future site of the commercial

district, I was struck by the sight of the apartment building framed by a gorgeous forest mountain range. For those of you who have the ability and desire to rise above dirt huts and help create a unique work of art, Villa Espendida, the Splendid City,

may be just the place to do it. Go visit - you won't be disappointed.§0 §0 §0===================§0§oNew Cities Rising is a long-form article series where we profile the newer cities of Civclassics and the builders behind them. Expect it every week.
