First released on April 9th, 2022, "100 Players Build a HUGE Civilization Across DIMENSIONS"
was creator MARKUSK's first foray into the genre of Minecraft Civilization Experiments. Featuring 100 players split between the dimensions of the Nether, End, and Overworld, it would features an epic tale of political intrigue, civil strife, conquest, and warfare, centered around one ambitious soldier and his attempts to take over civilization across all dimensions.
After the large scale success of his first video, MARKUSK would go on to create more videos in this genre. First, there was "300 Players Simulate Civilization in a Zombie Apocalypse", where 300 players were spread between 4 factions divided across 4 different iterations of the same Zombie Island, seeking to survive and thrive amidst the zombie apocalypse. In a tale of survival and conflict, watch as one organization secretly plots to take over the world, using the zombie apocalypse to further their own gains.
Secondly, there was "I Made 300 TINY Players Simulate Civilization in Minecraft" where 300 players were now spread between 5 different rooms of a gigantic house, seeking to survive in such a hostile and unusual environment. Watch as the The Conqueror returns, and seeks to recreate his success once again, as the other civilizations clash in a struggle to retain supremacy and preserve their culture in the ensuing conflict.
Third, there was “100 Players Rebuild Civilization in a Nuclear Winter" which featured 100 people, all of whom survived the Nuclear Apocalypse in 3 different vaults, seeking to survive the collapse of society in the nuclear wasteland after running out of food at home. In a tale of starvation, social conflict, warfare, dissent, and disorder, watch as the groups from these three vaults fight in an attempt to get out of the city and escape before another nuke destroys them.
Finally and most importantly, there was “1000 Players Simulate Civilization on Survival Islands”, released on November 30th, 2023, where, true to its title, 1000 players were spread between 6 groups on 6 islands, each seeking to build up their own civilizations and survive and thrive. Witness as the machinations of one man and the internal social struggles on all of the islands culminate in a great conflict, one that threatens to destroy all civilization in its entirety.
Tropes include:
- Another Dimension: The main gimmick of this civilization event: 100 players were split across the 3 Minecraft dimensions of the Overworld, Nether, and End, and were forced to survive in these differing environments, eventually fighting against each other to see which civilization would come out on top.
