Round 3 changelog and winner of Round 2!

Edit:
The Atlantis Area is really buggy right now. The amount of water seems to be really hard on the PC, so i hope everyone planning to join them has a powerful machine. It doesn't seem to lag, but it takes some time for the chunks to generate. Also, its REALLY dark down there :p It's really a faction for the dedicated.

Changelog R3
------------------------------------------------

Dwarfs:


- Removing the Daylight and surface rule. Dwarfs can now go outside whenever they like. They may also use their starter mountain as a building ground. Rules regarding treefarms are still the same.

- Dwarfs won't get any land from admins, they have to dig out space themselves.

- Gontuzic's new enhanced society ruleset for dwarfs will be mandatory. Refer to this thread: http://ragnarok-mc.darkbb.info/the-dwarfs-f15/dwarves-in-round-3-t329.htm

The changes above will make dwarfs easy to play, but hard to master.



General changes:

- The Nord faction will be removed for Round 3 until Round 4 in favor for the new faction, Atlantis. Nords are assured to partake in Round 4 again!

- There won't be any landspread via monuments anymore as this has become a bit pointless. Land will be given instead on a "if needed" basis, means a faction will receive new land when they run out of building space.

- Arena and BG events will be held regularly.

- The BG area will be of quadratic shape, with clear borders for each faction. The BG will be added roughly one week after R3 started to give every nation enough time to tend to their faction businesses first.

***************************
New Faction: Antlanteans (short: Atlantis, prefix: "Atlantis XXXX" )

The once proud city of Atlantis stood proud and tall above all others in Ragnarok, it was the pinnacle of its time that could be matched by no other. Yet alas, as fable would have it this city was destined for destruction by the Gods. Man had stopped their worship and offerings to Poseidon, God of the Sea and as such Poseidon showed no quarter in vanquishing his most prized possession Atlantis beneath his watery grasp. Only the lucky ones died during Poseidon's wrath. A few however survived and were cursed to live in that sunken city, unable to ever live a normal life again. No one dared to ignore Poseidon anymore from this day forward. The Atlanteans worked hard, expanded their cities and fought terrible wars in his name so that they may be spared from yet another catastrophe.

Nation's Bonus:
- Must use glass for outer walls facing the water
- Can not have a treefarm other then on the starter dirt patch
- Only faction (together with nords) that is allowed to plant reed.
- Receive free, infinite glass
- No lava may be used except in very small amounts for monuments
- All Atlantean structures have to be within a glass dome or submerged (No building above water surface)
- Entrance to the main city my be above the water level. Only ONE entrance allowed at any time!
- Atlanteans do not receive additional glass domes from admins. They must build living space themselves. Water pools will be provided, however.
- Very Hard Difficulty: Very time consuming to build and destroy blocks underwater as well as limited by initial space. Expect to drown a lot. Suited for players who have done everything else and too much time on their hands.

Trade would happen more if other factions wouldnt be able to harvest sand from beaches
