The following is an overview of our new Tiering System for Civilization and Race profiles, designed to classify them based on their level of technological advancement and territorial dominion. The original blog where this was proposed and explained is [[w:c:vsbattles:User_blog:Matthew_Schroeder/Civilization_Profile_Project|here]].
The following is an overview of the Tiering System for [[:Category:Civilizations|Civilization and Race profiles]], designed to classify them based on their level of technological advancement and territorial dominion.  
 
It should be noted that this does note replace the already existing [[DebatesJungle Tiering System|Tiering System]] which classifies individual characters based on their sheer power and [[Attack Potency]]. Instead, the two should be used in conjunction for Civilization profiles, as it is quite possible for a fictional civilization of lesser technological advancement to possess greater destructive power than a science-fiction civilization, most often through magical or supernatural means.
