Hi all,
A small team of us are in the early stages of building a Towny/geopolitics server (working title: Project Atlas), aimed at a slightly more mature audience and focused on player-driven systems (economy, territory, diplomacy, etc.).
Before we get too deep into development, we’re trying to sense-check some of the core design decisions with people who’ve run or played similar servers.
If you’ve got experience with Towny / geopolitics-style servers:
For context, we’ve played a fair bit of EarthPol — liked the simplicity and player-driven elements, but found moderation could be a bit heavy at times. We’re aiming for a more hands-off approach where systems create interaction rather than staff intervention.
Trying to keep things simple on the surface but with enough depth to sustain long-term play.
Would really appreciate any insights or lessons learned.

If you’ve got experience with Towny / geopolitics-style servers:
• What systems actually worked long-term (especially economy and player interaction)? • What tends to fall apart after a few weeks? • How do you avoid players becoming completely self-sufficient? • Any lessons learned around moderation vs letting systems handle things?
