There was a bug that caused CryptoCultures not to work in firefox!

It is now fixed! If you had any problems please try it now

Thanks

Hello,

I like to introduce my hobby project - CryptoCultures. Its a simple strategy game, where you own a piece of land, build your tribe and fight each other on a big map. Each tribe is an ERC721 Token and the ingame currency gold is an ERC20 Token. It is no ponzi schema, but there is a small fee to prevent spaming the map.

You can try the open beta here (it is already on mainnet): https://crypto-cultures.github.io/
You need MetaMask or any other Dapp browser

The first culture are egypts, but there will be more to come

If you have any suggestions, question, ... feel free to comment

Click on the Details page of one of the viruses, the enter a Name and click mutate. You can also click on the parent button if you want a lower generation

Do you have MetaMask installed? Its a browser plugin to connect with Ethereum.

If you have no viruses this is the expected behavior, otherwise it will show a list of all your viruses

You can withdraw as often as you like, but be aware that you have to wait 24 hours after your withdraw from that specific virus again.

It depends also on your luck,

gen1 could have a potential between 80 and 120, because the genesis virus has a potential of 100

gen 5 or 6 can have a potential over 200 but I saw a virus at this gen with only 50.

Mutate only the best viruses to achieve best results. So you could end up with something like:

1 gen1 -> 2 gen2 -> 1 gen3 -> 3 gen4

You have to wait 24h after you mutated the virus to withdraw ether. This is because if you had the first infection you could withdraw all ether, so its more a fair competition.

It triggles down the generations. If you have a Child which infects 50 people, as soon you hit infect 5 people are added to the parents stack. When you infect with the parent now it will take the normal infection + the 5 people from the stack.

After you buy a virus it is added to the My viruses tab. If you click on Details you have 2 new actions like on this screenshot



I also updated the FAQ:

How do I infect people?

After you buy a virus you cannot infect people immediately. Look at the "To Infect" value to see how many people could get infected!

Thanks for your advice!

The smart contract is already deployed, not allowing to recieve a virus without paying the small fee. Also there is no restriction on creating new Ethereum accounts, so you can potentially get as many virusus as you like.

In this game you can mutate your own virus from a genesis virus. With every mutation it can get stronger. The more People you infect, the more Ether you can earn!

Play it now: https://infect-the-world.github.io/

All you need is MetaMask!

FAQ
How do I get my own virus?

Click on the details of one of the latest viruses. Now you should see a "Mutate" button. Enter the name of your virus and click it.

Can I make Ether from my viruses?

Yes! For every infected person your virus increases its value. The value depends also on how many people the other players infect. So it can increase or decrease over time. Once you withdraw your Ether, you have to wait 24 hours to withdraw again.

What is a mutation?

A mutation generates the next generation of a virus. Mutated viruses could be slightly better or worse. When a mutated virus infects people, the parent virus will infect more people the next time the action is triggered.

How do I infect people?

After you buy a virus you cannot infect people immediately. Look at the "To Infect" value to see how many people could get infected!

My Virus gets mutated by others, what happens?

Every time the mutated virus infects people, a small amount of people gets infected with the parent virus.

Why is the price of a mutation increasing every generation?

Because its potential can increase too! The better the potential, the more people will get infected.

How often can a virus mutate?

As often as you like. There is no limitation, so you can mutate until you are happy with its potential.

How many generations are possible?

As with the mutation, there is no limit. But be aware the price of a mutation keeps increasing too.

Why is the value/to infect estimated?

The value changes over time. It takes time to process your transaction, so you always see a value slightly out of time.

Thank you for your input!

Steps in 0.1 ether means, that if the highest bid is 1.2 ether you must bid 1.3 ether.
If already bid, it increases your bid means, that if you already bid 0.7 ether and then bid 1.0 ether, your total bid equals 1.7 ether, so you outbid 1.6 ether and below.

I havent started the minting right now. The beta phase ends after the first 1000 fortresses are owned and when the testing is finished.

Not keeping a flat fee could be a important feature to keep the value of the fortresses. As it is only fixed for the first 1000 ones, it will change in the future.
I am not sure about the rate it changes. Maybe it increases every 1000 fortresses about 0.01 ether, so the first 1000 costs 0.01 the next 1000 0.02 and so on.

If someone has other ideas, let me know

The client will be updated with the next feature.

And great that you are having fun!

Each fortress represents a token. Unlike other token e.g. the ERC20 tokens, this token is non-fungible

There will be a standard ERC721 to exchange those tokens (in this case fortresses),
more information here: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/721

As soon as the standard is finalized, I will upgrade the contract, so it will be implemented.

At first thanks for your support,

I looked at the transaction log of the contract and the transaction was successful,
Have you tried reloading the page? On the main network it can take a while, some
of my transactions took more than 20 minutes, others only 1-2.

I experienced an issue with web3.js sometimes not reacting to events, but after a reload
everything was fine again.

Edit: Sorry this bug was my fault! I fixed another one and updated the client with the
address of my test network, It should work in a few minutes!

The first article of my developer blog is online! You can find it on medium.com

Yes sure!

Here is a fortress overview, if you own it buttons to interact appear!

Thanks for your interrest!

You need the metamask plugin to connect the app with your wallet, then browse https://realms-of-ether.github.io/ and then click on game in the navigation.

You can purchase a fortress for 0.01 ether, I made this fee that no one claims all 1000 fortresses for no reason, which would end in a failure of the beta.

Realms of Ether is a like a old browser game.

At first you can have one or more fortresses. Each fortress has its own place on the map.
With time the map expends, so more fortresses can be owned by the users.

Right now the beta phase is live, so I limited the amount to 1000. Testing on a private blockchain
finished yesterday, so this deployed version is here to stay, with all your fortresses.

The beta version includes:

• Create your own fortress with a name (automaticly positioned on the map, coming first means a position near the center of the map)
• Expand your kingdown creating or buying new fortresses
• Mining resources: They will be used for building out your fortress and recruting troups
• Level up your buildings: you will get more resources, recruting more troups
• Building your army: 2 Dragons are live right now, other troups like magician or knights will be added
• Sell your fortress for Ether: You can start an auction, which will last 3 days, the highest bidder wins!

Features to come

• A map of all fortresses: who is your neighbour? should you cooperate? (Only needs work on the client, contract functionallity is working)
• Fighting each other: A round based strategic combat system (Troups already have attributes, the contract is prepared for this feature, but it needs some feedback what the users want from it)

Hello folks,

I am developing a blockchain based strategy game. This will be open source, so everyone can participate.
It is called Realms of Ether.

The basic functionality is already working. You can create a new fortress, level up your buildings, farm resources
and recrute troups. There is also an auction platform where you can sell or buy fortresses.
Each fortress has its own position on the map, which will be expanded every 15 minutes after the official launch.

The client is right now in beta, so you can be excited to see new features like a map of the world, better graphics,
round based fighting and much more.

Here is a link where you can play right now: https://realms-of-ether.github.io/

There is a FAQ on the landing page, but if you have more questions I will answer them.

This is my first blockchain project going live and I'm going to share my experiences on the blog.

If you find bugs or have a feature request use the github issues, this will help everybody to enjoy a better
gaming experience.
