Epoch 1: Elemental Awakening
π Overviewβ
Epoch 1 marks the foundation of War of Continents. In this phase, players enter the world by minting their first NFT Lands and Generation 0 Heroes, setting the stage for all future growth. This Epoch introduces essential gameplay systems, resource loops, and the core mechanics of upgrading and exploration.
We recommend starting with at least one Land and three to four Heroes to fully experience the game loop. Lands serve as your resource hubs, while Heroes are the engine that drives all actions β from missions to upgrades.
π Core Gameplay Loopβ
- Mint Lands and Heroes using Platinum Coins
- Assign Heroes to Lands
- Run Missions to gather resources (Elementals, Seals, Daily Rewards)
- Upgrade Elements and Seals on Lands
- Harvest and store Gold
- Repeat and grow
π° Platinum Coins (WOCPTC)β
Platinum Coins are the ERC-20 token at the heart of the War of Continents ecosystem. They are used to:
- Mint new Lands and Heroes
- Access and unlock missions
- Fuel future upgrades and events
Platinum Coins are tradable both inside and outside the game, forming a bridge between gameplay and the broader blockchain economy.
π Landsβ
Lands are your primary base of operations:
- Minted as NFTs via Platinum
- Have unique attributes: type, coordinates, building slots, elemental affinities
- Act as resource containers and production centers
Lands produce Gold, store Elementals, and evolve through upgrades. Each Land holds four Elements β Air, Fire, Water, Earth β which determine efficiency and bonuses. The stronger your Elements, the more your Land yields.
π§ Heroesβ
Heroes are the lifeblood of your empire:
- Minted with Platinum
- Have randomized stats:
- Rarity (Common to Legendary)
- Gender
- Element (Air, Fire, Water, Earth)
- Base characteristics
Every Hero is an NFT and required for all in-game actions. The Generation 0 Heroes minted during Epoch 1 are limited-edition and provide early adopters with exclusive advantages and long-term strategic value.
π― Missionsβ
Missions are the key gameplay activity in Epoch 1. They are performed by Heroes and serve to gather resources, develop your Lands, and strengthen your strategic position.
Mission | Purpose |
---|---|
Hero Transfer | Move newly minted Heroes to active Lands |
Elementals Search | Find essential resources for upgrading Elements |
Claim Gold | Harvest Gold generated by your Lands |
Upgrade Seal of Element | Improve Seals to slow Elemental leakage |
Upgrade Elements | Increase Gold output through Element upgrades |
Seal Hunt | Acquire Elemental Seals through exploration |
Daily Mission | Quick mission for rewards and bonuses |
π Hero Transferβ
New Heroes must complete this mission to be stationed on a Land. Without it, they canβt participate in gameplay.
π Elementals Searchβ
Elementals are rare and vital. Youβll need them constantly for upgrades. Heroes search for them and bring them back to be stored in Vessels.
π° Claim Goldβ
Collect the Gold your Lands generate over time. Use it for upgrades and eventually, for trades and marketplace actions.
π Upgrade Seal of Elementβ
Elementals leak over time from Vessels. Upgrading Seals reduces this leakage and helps maintain your resource supply.
π₯ Upgrade Elementsβ
Stronger Elements on a Land = more Gold per hour. Use Elementals and Gold to level up your Landβs four Elements.
π Seal Huntβ
Search for new Seals. These items are crucial to preserving Elementals and enhancing land efficiency.
π Daily Missionβ
A simple, recurring quest with randomized rewards β great for passive progress and testing Hero performance.
π§ Strategy Tipsβ
- Specialize Heroes by Element to maximize synergy with Lands
- Balance your resource loop: Elementals β Seals β Upgrades β Gold
- Focus early on Seals to reduce loss and increase sustainability
- Generation 0 Heroes are a long-term investment β use them wisely
π The Beginning of Greatnessβ
Epoch 1 is your first step toward mastering the continent. Every mission, upgrade, and minted NFT builds your strategic foundation for the future. As the world expands through future Epochs, your early investments and decisions will define your strength, influence, and power.
Build smart. Upgrade boldly. Your empire starts now.
