## How to play

There is no set way to play Aeros, that's what makes it great! There are endless possibilities of what you can do, you don't even have to join the Minecraft server to still have fun!

### Introduction

Aeros is a minecraft worldbuilding server. It covers a variety of skills involved in the game making it fun to play for everyone! There are many events and activities that help to make Aeros fun to play!

### Playstyle

When getting started, you should join the discord have a read through the rules (a current WIP, follow staff orders). You should read all the information to get a grasp of the server style and how to play. Once you know that you can make your first decision: how are you going to play this style of server? There are so many different ways of playing that we can't cover all of them in this guide.

#### Join an existing nation

Will you join an existing nation? If so, go to #nation-ads, have a look at the existing nations on the server and what they offer. Then you can decide which one to join. Once in a nation, they all offer unique opportunities. Most nations will allow you to choose a job that might be builder, miner or whatever. Some might offer different perspectives. Once in a nation's discord, it should hopefully be pretty self explanatory on what they want you to do. You can work your way up into their politics, gain power, create a city for them, build for them or really whatever you like. From there, it is your choice on what to do, and you'll probably have a pretty good grasp on the server.

#### Create a nation

Will you decide to create your own nation? You should create a discord for your nation, and if you want people to join post a nation ad or you can keep the nation private and just to your friends. Either way you should post an ad so that diplomats from other nations can join to do politics with you... unless you want a war on your hands. With a nation, you should create a land claim in game to protect your items and invite your citizens to it so they can build and you can expand the claim as well! There are so many things you can do with your own nation: expand and make cities, make future plans, make lore and roleplay for your nation's history, create a hierarchy and jobs within your nation, expand your diplomatic relations with other nations, merge with another nation, go to war with another nation. There are really endless possibilities.

#### Make a market

Do you want to become the Elon Musk of the server, without having to mine a single bit of gold? You could create a market selling whatever you please, by either making a market somewhere in the world, claiming a spot in the market at spawn (WIP), or selling your items at the auction house at spawn! You could also advertise it in the merchants guild of Aeros, allowing your shop to become famous like the blackmarket!

#### Live a quiet life

You may decide you want a quiet life, and create a little house by a lake. You can build whatever you want (as long as it isn't inappropriate, an illegal farm, or auto redstone contraption), and do whatever you want, and create a land claim around your house to protect it from griefing. You can decide what you build, even if you're not in a nation.

#### Be an explorer

You may decide you want to be an explorer, looking for treasure. You might want to take part in the weekly Aeros Treasure Hunt and gain new loot each week! You may want to explore the vast custom world of Aeros, it's up to you!

#### Become the richest

You may decide that you want to become the richest person on the server. You might decide you are going to mine all the gold on the server, so you can become the top member of that /baltop and although, it might get a bit boring, the reward will be prosperity! Whatever, it is up to you.

#### Make a bandit group/ become a bandit

You may decide that the unsuspecting people of Aeros are a bit too weak. You may decide that you are fed up of having them flash their wealth in front of your face. You may decide to become a bandit. Then, those rich fools can pay when you assassinate them and steal all their riches! *Just make sure you follow the bandit rules (link = WIP).*

#### Make a mercenary group/ become a mercenary

You may decide that you are wanting blood on your hands. Your kitchen knife requires a bit more use than chopping up animal meat. It needs human flesh! Or it might simply be that you can't afford your food and need to this for money. Either way, you can become a mercenary, and take hits from people to kill! *Just make sure you follow the mercenary rules (link = WIP).*

There are so many different things you can do on Aeros, these are a very small percentage of them. Most people choose the first two to carry on the peaceful nations of the server and vast politics and economy. They join the cartography guild and some make maps for the server, they make markets and participate in events. However, will you be unique and add a bit of flavour to the Realm of Aeros? It is your choice!

### How to actually play and join the server

To join the server, join the discord and add the server to your Minecraft server list. You do this by loading up Minecraft java edition, clicking Multiplayer > Add server. Then under server address, type in the IP (135.148.122.235:25565). Then you can click play and you should spawn in the server spawn (*see guides*).
