1 year ago You mint an explorer (which is not the same as the Biblio adventurer) and you send him into a location (one of the hexagon tiles in the map) to build the outpost. The adventurer then will stay in the outpost and defend the outpost. 1 Explorer = 1 Outpost.
An address can mint as many explorers as they want. Again 1 explorer = 1 Outposts
No specific strategy as the events will happen randomly. After the first season there will be more strategy implied in how to defend the outposts. But attacks on the map will be random so it's down to luck

1 year ago Liked the pitch, seems a simple game that can still be fun and dynamic. But I'd like to understand the game loop better.
If events are random and there's no PvP, what'll the player do, what's the tactical gameplay? If it's purely luck, is the loop just building outposts, buying as much defence as I can and waiting until luck decides the winner?

1 year ago @Fomentador for the first release, the game loop will be quite simple as it will give us enough time to focus on the main mechanics. From the second iteration onwards of the game, we will implement more strategic choices like different type of defences and events, build in a weakness/resistance system between defences and events, probability of resisting an event, explorers that belongs to the same order can vote which type of defence they want to boost (higher chances of resisting).
I've put down some ideas of different attacks/events and resources required to build defences, but things might change in the future. Also the idea is to change some aspect of the games every season, so it will never be too similar to the previous one.
Events: Plague: A virulent disease that can wipe out the explorers in your outposts.
Goblin Attack: Mischief-makers that emerge from the shadows to raid and plunder.
Earthquake: Ground-shaking tremors that threaten to shatter your defenses.
Hurricane: Destructive winds that can dismantle structures in their wake.
Dragon Attack: Majestic but deadly creatures that descend from the skies with fiery fury.
Defences: Food Storage: Vital to keep your explorers nourished and resilient against the plague.
Barricade: A stronghold against the marauding goblin invaders.
Castle: An emblem of might and stability, able to stand firm against the force of earthquakes.
Obsidian Bunker: The pinnacle of protection, offering refuge during the harshest hurricanes.
Dragon Shelter: Tailored with materials resistant to dragon flames, providing sanctuary from their aerial assaults.
These are some preliminary ideas.

1 year ago Ah, sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I understand that you have future implementations planned which will add more depth to gameplay. But specifically for this Season 1 there's no strategic depth, correct? Players just build outposts, buy as much of the defences you listed as they can, and let random events determine the winner. In this sense, the proposal's objective is to build the infrastructure for different game mechanics to be implemented at later Seasons?
I really like how you structured the implementation in stages and submitted the proposal only for stage 1, btw. It demonstrates a clear understanding of scope.

1 year ago Yeah that's correct. First season will only have the very core mechanics, which will be the base of the game in the future. @Fomentador

2. The Game
Pitch & Story
▶️ Players will have to mint their explorers which will go into the wild building outposts. These outposts will have to be defended from random events that will affect random targets. The proud owner of the last standing outpost reaps a rich pool of $LORDS, sourced from defences setup fees and game initiation. The value of this pool corresponds directly to the total LORDS gathered during gameplay, with a fraction allocated for game developers and Bibliotheca DAO.
The story itself will evolve in the next seasons of the game but game mechanics will stay the same.
Design Pillars
▶️ Randomness.
Low Effort.
Strategic.
Based on the Realmverse/Lootverse
Fully On-Chain Game
Game progression
▶️ The first release of the game will have 2 main phases:
Preparation phase - Players will be able to mint explorers and buy defences for their outposts.
Each defence will grant the outpost 1 extra life.
The amount of defences available will be limited and they can only be purchased during the preparation phase with a Variable Rate Gradual Dutch Auction (will spice things up!)
The preparation phase will last a week or will end as soon as all the explorers have been minted.
Main game phase - Once the preparation phase is over, explorers will be sent into the wild trying with the scope of building outposts. Dangerous events will randomly happen which will damage random outposts across the map. When an outpost reach 0 lives is destroyed and is out of the game.
During the main game phase, players can trade outposts and reinforcements between themselves on a secondary market.
The season will end when there is only one outpost standing, which will win the jackpot made of a rich pool of $LORDS, sourced from buying defences and minting explorers.
In future seasons players will be able to:
Winning and losing conditions
▶️ A players loses when an outpost that he/she owns goes to 0 lives.
A player win the game if he/she is the owner of the last outpost standing.
Look & Feel
▶️ The game should have a similar look of [Catan](https://www.catan.com/catan) board game but much bigger size. The map should be much bigger as each explorers minted will build an outpost on one hex tile on the board. The game will be in 2D. Design might change.
