Iteration chronology

Yugo Wars was a server hosted in October 2019 by Onions, the first of what would be a series of three servers made by Onions from 2019–2020. It was iteration 30, and themed around the 1990s Breakup of Yugoslavia.

Onions was a previously unheard-of player who became heavily involved in the early development of i28 in May 2019, helping set up the Discord and even making the server map. Even at this time, his long-term aim was to set the community on a good course so that he could host his own servers sometime down the line. He shared these hosting plans to a few people, such as Jonathan. However, Onions joined the Navy (lol) and left a couple weeks before the Filicraft launch. When he returned from basic training 2 months later, i28 was long over, and i29 was a day or two away from launching. With the failure of that server within a few days and Fili's retirement from hosting, development of i30 quickly began under Onions' direction.

Since the Discord servers for Filicraft and Filicraft 2 had been deleted, a player, Helias, had repurposed his i29 country's Discord, propositioning it as a new community hub. Onions was invited to take over this Discord; he accepted, and was transferred the ownership. A new “/int/craft Committee” was established within this Discord for influential community members to advise on the development of i30. Among these members were Jonathan, Itsame12, Stryker, Falklands, Stongduke, Nurse_Reno, roguelich, and Dab.

On 9th August, 1990s Yugo Wars was selected from a shortlist of possible themes. Runner-up in the vote was 2010s Middle East, which was left for a subsequent server. A few days later, the community was polled and the launch date set for 11th October. Actual server development was done mostly by Onions, with Stongduke enlisted to make the server map and gun/vehicle models.

Like the previous Filicraft servers, the Discord had a role-react bot to let players pre-select their nations. The earliest and largest nations selected were Croatia, led by Itsame and Jonathan, whose metagroup were the “winners” of i29, and Serbia (FR Yugoslavia), selected by Stryker and his Strykergang. Onions himself positioned himself as leader of the NATO faction. Smaller numbers of reacts as compared to the first Filicraft led to expectations of a decreased turnout. However, most of the countries on the map, and even some separatist/meme states, had claimants.
