I like gamification involving Bitcoin, but shouldn't there be an RNG involved? Otherwise, as the rules state, if someone has defense of 2.41 BTC and someone attacks with 2.42 BTC, it is automatically a win for the 2.42 BTC attack. That's not actually what I understand from gamification. An RNG would make it more fun and attacks should come at a tiny cost. Skin in the game is what makes a "game" interesting.

I'm not sure, but this game looks like a play to win games since you must send your Bitcoin in order to play.

So, the biggest deposit will win the game, is that right?

And I don't understand what people get after they win the battle or after conquering all the countries? it's a big question mark.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback on Crypto Country War! We really appreciate your insights on game mechanics and balance.
You raise an excellent point about the potential benefits of incorporating an RNG (Random Number Generator) element and a cost for attacks. Let me address your concerns and share our thoughts on the game's current state and future development:

Current Mechanics: You're correct that in the current version, a higher attack value automatically wins. This was our initial approach to create a straightforward, deterministic system based purely on the amount of Bitcoin committed.
The Role of Strategy: While the current system might seem simplistic, it does create interesting strategic decisions. Players must carefully balance their resources between attack and defense, considering the potential actions of other players.
Future Developments: We're constantly looking to improve the game experience, and your suggestion aligns well with our vision for the future. Here are some ideas we're considering:
• RNG Element: Introducing a randomness factor could indeed add excitement and unpredictability to battles. For example, the attack strength could be multiplied by a random factor between 0.8 and 1.2.
• Attack Costs: Implementing a small cost for attacks is an interesting idea. This could prevent spam attacks and add more strategic depth to the game.
• Defense Bonus: We could introduce a slight advantage for the defender, reflecting the real-world principle that defense is often easier than offense.
Balancing Act: Our challenge is to find the right balance between simplicity (which makes the game accessible) and complexity (which adds depth and interest). We want to ensure that skill and strategy remain key factors in success.
Community Input: Feedback like yours is incredibly valuable to us. We're building this game with our community, and we're always open to suggestions that can make Crypto Country War more engaging and fun.

We're excited about the potential to evolve the game mechanics based on player feedback. Your idea of "skin in the game" resonates with us, and we're exploring ways to implement this concept more deeply.
Thank you again for your insightful comment. We'd love to hear more of your thoughts and ideas as we continue to develop and improve Crypto Country War. Stay tuned for updates, and feel free to join our Telegram group to discuss game mechanics and upcoming features!

Well, without an element of chance the game is essentially dead in the water as it is not a game. There is no fun and thrill involved as the one with the most money wins. Imagine poker and whoever brings most chips to the table automatically wins. You never want a game to be deterministic. Not even chess is deterministic in the sense that you never know whether you calculated the steps of your opponent correctly. It's not exactly chance, but degrees of unpredictability.

Cost for attacks (which could go to the defender in case the defense was so successful) and an RNG element. That would make such a game fun. If it is only about money, it is like the guy with less money bringing a dice with only "1"s on it whereas the guy with more money has all "6"s. With a verifiable RNG and mechanics like adjusted defense leverage if you own more countries of a continent would make the game worthwhile.

Missions of course, like in the game "Risk". I wouldn't deviate too much from it.

Thank you for your questions and feedback on Crypto Country War! I'd like to address your concerns and share some insights about our game's inspiration, mechanics, and future plans.

First, let me clarify that Crypto Country War draws inspiration from several successful projects:

1. "Republika", a game that ran for almost two and a half years, where players represented their real countries and competed to conquer the world.

2. "satoshi.place", where the ability to create larger drawings often mattered most, and which served as an advertising platform for many.

These games created lasting impressions and strong engagement, which we aim to recreate in Crypto Country War, but with our own unique crypto twist.

Now, to address your specific questions and concerns:

1. Is it a "play to win" game? Does the biggest deposit always win?
   While Bitcoin is used in the game, it's not exactly a "play to win" model in the traditional sense. Currently, a higher attack value does win against a lower defense, similar to how larger contributions in satoshi.place could overwrite smaller ones. However, we're exploring ways to add more depth to this mechanic, such as:
   • Implementing an RNG (Random Number Generator) to add an element of chance
   • Adding a cost to attacks to prevent spam and encourage more strategic play
   • Introducing a defense bonus to balance attack and defense strategies

2. What do people get after winning battles or conquering all countries?
   Here's what players can gain:
   • Territory Control: Winning battles expands your territory on the global map.
   • Rankings and Prestige: Success improves your position on leaderboards.
   • Rewards: We're planning to implement a reward system for top performers.
   • Community Recognition: Become known as a skilled strategist within the game community.
   • Advertising Opportunity: Like in satoshi.place, controlling large territories can serve as a form of advertising or expression.

   In the future, we aim to introduce more tangible rewards and possibly integrate NFTs or other blockchain elements to enhance the value of conquests.

3. The Thrill of Competition:
   A significant part of the enjoyment comes from the pride of representing your country and the excitement of global competition. It's about the journey of building alliances, planning strategies, and leaving your mark on the world map.

4. Initial Game Mechanics and Future Development:
   We understand that the current mechanics might seem simple, with larger contributions having a clear advantage. However, it's important to note that this initial phase is crucial for us. The early revenue generated will be reinvested into the game, allowing us to implement more complex and engaging features in the future. We're committed to evolving the game based on player feedback and community suggestions.

   Our roadmap includes:
   • More strategic depth in battles
   • Enhanced community features
   • Improved reward systems
   • Potential integration with other blockchain technologies

We're continuously developing the game, taking inspiration from successful predecessors while innovating with blockchain technology. Our goal is to create a balanced, engaging experience that combines strategy, community, and crypto.

We greatly appreciate your feedback as it helps us refine and improve the game. We're always open to suggestions and ideas from our community. If you have more thoughts or questions, please don't hesitate to share them here or join our Telegram group for further discussions!

We need your valuable feedback on some key aspects of the game. Your input is crucial in shaping the future of our crypto-powered global conquest adventure!
1. Anonymity vs. User Accounts
Currently, we're prioritizing anonymity in the game. Players can participate without creating an account, ensuring privacy and ease of entry. However, we're considering the option of introducing user accounts. We'd love to hear your thoughts:

Should we maintain full anonymity, or introduce optional user accounts?
What benefits would you expect from having a user account?
How important is anonymity to you in a crypto-based game?

2. Lightning Network Integration
We're excited about the potential of integrating Lightning Network into Crypto Country War. This could allow for:

Faster transactions
Lower fees
Micro-transactions for smaller in-game actions

What are your thoughts on using Lightning Network in the game? How would this impact your gameplay experience?
3. Enhanced Achievement and Badge System
We're working on expanding our achievement system to make it more engaging and rewarding. Some ideas include:

Tiered achievements (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum)
Special badges for unique accomplishments (First to conquer a continent, Longest defense streak, etc.)
Seasonal achievements and leaderboards
Achievements that unlock special abilities or bonuses in the game

What kinds of achievements would you like to see? How important are achievements to your gaming experience?

Can we test the game without paying real bitcoin transactions?
I think you should enable test mode for people who want to see how everything works, or enable demo mode with testnet bitcoin.
Game could be interesting but I feel that some big whale can quickly came and win the game with lot of coins deposited.

What is the preferred testnet, 3 or 4?

Should we maintain full anonymity, or introduce optional user accounts?

Why only think of one, when you can offer both of the above things through the use of LNURL-auth.
^{- On top of that, it'd literally take a second for users to create their accounts.}

What is the preferred testnet, 3 or 4?

Despite the fact that v3 is on its last legs and transaction fees are still high, I think most users would still prefer to use it over v4.
