Elysium Rules

These rules are required for stable gameplay. Any person who completes registration automatically agrees to the rules and undertakes to follow them.

General Provisions​

1.1 Administration has the right, within reason, to issue punishment in situations not covered by project rules that may cause or have caused harm to gameplay, a player, or the project itself.

1.2 A player is not unbanned if the rule they violated was later changed.

1.3 The server appeals to real-world logic within the in-game date and overall historical logic (examples: underground farms, overly tall builds, unrealistic builds/railways (weak supports, floating), control of straits, fleet movement, etc.).

1.4 The server does not express political opinion regarding events. Any political propaganda from administration is not allowed. We maintain neutrality regarding all world situations and do not allow statements of personal positions on behalf of the server. Administration may not remove players from chats/Discord based on personal political position or differences in political/national views.

1.5 Donation payments may be refunded in accordance with regional law of the player's country of residence.

1.6 Project administration has full right to block or mute your account if project rules are violated.

1.7 Administration returns resources in case of server bugs, hacking of the head of state, head of opposition movement, and persons with access rights to city private (if player has 2FA enabled). Resources lost due to server rollback are not returned, but may be compensated. If resources disappear during cleanup, resources are not returned; in case of griefing, resources are NOT RETURNED. Donation items may be returned.

1.8 In case of repeated violations/recidivism by a player (3+ times), administration may increase punishment duration. In case of repeated violations by players of one city, administration may apply measures proportional to the scale of violations to that city.

1.9 Administration must not use its authority for personal benefit, benefit of friends and/or allies.

1.10 Punishment terms listed under rule points are mandatory for all moderation, but in exceptional cases an administrator may increase term based on violation severity or reduce it accordingly.

1.11 You have full right to withdraw your complaint against another player; in this case punishment is at administration discretion.

1.12 If citizens of a city repeatedly violate rules (4-5+ times for one city), administration confiscates 50% of city treasury first time, then all money next time except necessary for next tax. (If funds were intentionally withdrawn before fine, penalty is mayor ban for 4 days with no mayor replacement allowed.)

1.13 Proof of any in-game violation (except chat violations) can only be full video/replay recording of that violation. Cropped videos/replays are not accepted as proof.
