* CerebusSyndrome: As a result of both the {{Permadeath}} aspects and the world opening up to allow for more and more interaction between players, most civilization events get progressively more and more dramatic over time, starting with basic, local feuds and events and escalating into global wars and events.

* CastHerd: In order to allow for competition between civilizations in addition to within, most civilization events divide the players in them up between different regions to build separate civilizations, each of whom have their own plotlines and characters that interact within themselves, then with each other.
** For example, Ish's first state experiment have the four islands of Plains, Snow, Jungle, and Desert, with Plains, Jungle, and Desert divided between two differing factions each.

Added DiffLines:
* AnyoneCanDie: Since the videos usually directly record what happened during the event, anyone important in the story could die at any time for any reason, major or minor. This is moreso during the events themselves, as, most of the time, they are unscripted, and thus the players' survival depends on their own actions and the actions of others, much of which is hidden or [[DidntSeeThatComing a curveball]].

* EnsembleCast: Most civilization event videos, instead of just focusing on the actions of one character or one civilization, tend to focus on all of the civilizations and their most important characters equally, explaining all of their roles in the event.

* FrontlineGeneral: A common occurrence in Civilization events is that the people leading their armies tend to command from the front line. These include Clownpierce during [=MagicGum=]'s first civilization event and Ize from [=SpeedSilver=]'s. This is because:
** a: Being on the frontline tends to boost your own troops' morale (willingness to fight).
** b: Oftentimes, leadership is a PositionOfPower, conferring extra combat bonuses to leaders.
** and c: Oftentimes, AsskickingLeadsToLeadership, and so frontline generals are also the best fighters outside of their special powers.

Adding a general Central Theme
Added DiffLines:
* CentralTheme: Due to being spun off of Creator/MagicGum's earlier work on societies in Minecraft, the central theme of most civilization videos is: "How do societies develop in novel environments? What factors are involved, and what makes a society successful?"

* BittersweetEnding: Ish's 1,000 Player Civilization experiment ends with [[spoiler: the Aculon Empire being defeated by the combined effort of the Allied Nations, who, after disposing of Elanuelo, seek to further avenge Turkey by slaughtering all the surrendering Aculonians, including innocents. While the world does bounce back from this conflict and sees the creation of a truly united global alliance, many of the Allied Nation leaders regret the ruthlessness they displayed; despite pardoning other surviving Aculonians who were not part of the massacre, it's made apparent that this newfound peace was gained through the same needless sacrifices that they were trying to avoid in the first place, effectively making them no better than their enemies.]]

* AntiInfantry: [[spoiler: The Iron Torch, a ''gigantic'' tower built by the Aculon Empire that houses and dispenses lava upon any enemy forces below.]] If that isn't bad enough, it actually turns out to be an incredibly effective weapon. [[spoiler: Not effective enough for Elanuelo to escape [[LaserGuidedKarma his fate]], though.
* DangerousDeserter: DripChicken and his family quickly become targets of the Sultanate after they make a run for Theria.
* DirtyCoward: In the early days of the Aculon Empire, Elanuelo never showed his face beyond the safety of an underground bunker out of fear that he would be assassinated. This got to the point where the citizens of Snow began to lose confidence that Elanuelo even ''existed''. While he eventually does show his face, it was out of necessity to quickly assuage the doubts of his people.

"In a Minecraft social experiment ..."
As the name suggests, VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Civilization Experiments are a type of Minecraft "work" that involve a number of players (usually 100 or above) in a supervised server attempting to simulate human civilization within the medium of Minecraft. Players are usually placed in [[{{Permadeath}} hardcore mode]] and split into several teams in several separated locations, all of whom are tasked with surviving the event, either by eliminating all opposing civilizations or establishing world peace. These last over a number of real life days, which are then covered via video.
First originating after Youtuber [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFmE4R8CdklKgZDVPN6m2kA Magic Gum]] posted several videos about hypothetical Minecraft civilizations, it soon became an actual phenomenon with multiple channels posting this form of content, culminating in MrBeast's 1000 Player Civilization event. First starting with Magic Gum's own Civilization Experiments, it soon spread out with Ish and Silver's civilization events, and soon became adopted by other channels. This page covers the major civilization events and their tropes, but links may be included to other civilization events in the corresponding folder below.
