1. What kind of game is it?

We assume that you are a game player who are familiar with blockchain and trade cryptocurrencies in your spare time.

Crypto Sanguo, is an MMORPG game built on top of IOST blockchain. Our goal is to create a online virtual economy, self-governed by players, by the meanings of a game inspired by the Chinese historical novel “Sanguo”.

We said that it’s a blockchain game, but it will be different from any other so-called “blockchain games” that you had heard of:

- Our goal is not to pump and dump. Acutally, the project is not for profit. The token in the project, SGT (Sanguo Token) will be pured generated from playing the game, no premine, no ICO. And 90% of the games’ revenue will be returned back to the players through different rules; the development team, together with the marketing channels will keep merely 10% of the income to cover the expense of the project. Comparing to making money, we are more interested in doing something cool.

- No bull shit. I’m sure you have seen a lot other projects trying to raise money with just a whitepaper. Our project is different, and as of today, we have already spend 8 months working on this project, and have already conducted two rounds of real user testing. Thanks to the hundreds of users who gave us feedbacks, we were able to fix bugs and re-iterate so fast in the past weeks. In the short term, we will continue to be productive and push out more new releases.

- We are targeting regular users instead of whales. All the heroes (NFT) in the game, will be priced at 1000 IOST in the beginning. If you join the game early enough, to collect all the heroes will cost you less than 150 USD. And to make sure more players can afford the game, we just reduced the incremental amount, from 30 IOST to 15 IOST.

- It’s a fun game. Even if the game is browser based, and you can’t expect AAA graphics, but the core game play, includes PvE and PvP, requires a lot of strategy. More over, in a few weeks, more interesting features, e.g. pet system, or clan system, will be added. If you are tired of the NFT trading games, this is the right product for you.

- It can be very profitable. We want to make it clear that this game is neither a investment product nor security, and we don’t welcome anyone who’s age is below 21. But, we do want to return revenue of the game back to the players. As the product’s user based will grow, it’s very possible that due to the network effects, some players may receive significant amount of return from one of the 5 methods: a) By trading NFTs, including heroes and item. b) By mining for SGT and selling it in an exchange. c) By holding or burning SGT to get IOST as dividends. d) By synthesizing rare items using raw materials. e) By joining the 3-tier affiliate program and inviting their friends.

  • It will be a long-lasting product. It’s very common that someone starts a blockchain or non-blockchain project and discontinues it. We are different. Here we can promise that: in the coming months, 2- 4 new heroes will be created; 1- 2 new stories will be added; weekly promotional events or competitions will be held; and every quarter, some new game modes will be added.

The presale is happening soon, between September 4 and September 11, and if you are interested in it, please check this article:

2. The game’s interface

Currently there are 5 options:

- Story Mode: By going through the stories inspired by real history, players can battle with different NPCs, and equip their heroes to beat enemies to win SGT and materials.
- Market: Here, players can buy newly added heroes in auctions; or trade with other players peer-to-peer.
- Duel: Players can battle against each other to snatch SGT.
- Daily Treasure: It’s the place players can hold or burn SGT to get TRX and dividends. In the future, we will also have support, allowing players to win rare materials or gears.
- Rankings: In this section, players can check their own battle rankings and asset rankings.

The game is browser based, which means as long as you have the IOST wallets installed, you can access it from any PC or mobile devices.

3. Step-by-step tutorial for beginners:

(The following content, are based on the test version. After the game is officially launched on September 4, what you will see may be slightly different, and may have new features added.)

a) First thing first, open the game with Token Pocket.

2) Then buy 3 heroes from the market. As a beginner, we suggest that you have more heroes whose “Attack” attribute are high, for example Zhang Fei, Guan You, or Dian Wei.

3) In “Me”, click “Teams” in the top-right corner, to config your formation of teams.

4) In story mode, select stage one “Yellow Turban Rebellion”, and select the first place “Da Xing Shan” and “The 1st One”. Now you see the enemies.

5) The battling screen is as below:

If you are playing the game for the first time, it may take some time to load. Please be patient, next time, it will be much faster.

6) We won, and got 20 SGT.

7) The “2nd Battle” of “Da Xing Shan” is already unlocked, however, please don’t try it yet, because the enemies there is tougher.

What you need to do, is to repeat the “1st Battle” for 5 times, in order to collect 100 SGT. With the proceeds, you can upgrade one of your three heroes to level 2. (Click “Me” and “Heroes”)

8)If you receive warning that your heroes are out of energy, in the same screen, you can fill energy by spending IOST. If you don’t want to spend money, you can also wait for the energy to recover automatically. Every hour, a hero’s energy recovers by 1 point.

9) After you have conquered enough stages, it’s a good idea to attack other players in the “Duel” screen. In every 12 hours, you can defeat someone to snatch 5% of their SGT; and every time you are defeated, you are safe from other players’ attack in the next 24 hours.

Alright, now you are good to go. We didn’t cover topics like synthesizing gears, or exchanging NFTs, but you will easily figure it out by yourself.

On September 11, a new sub quest will be launched, and the first week promotional event will be announced. More good stuff and interesting content of the game, should be discovered by yourself.

4. About the game’s battle system

Currently, every hero has the following attributes:

- HP: How much health points the hero has.
- Attack: How much damage the hero can inflict.
- Intelligence: How effective the hero’s can use his spectial skill.
- Agility: How fast and frequent the hero can attack or use his special skill.
- Luck: The chance of getting more SGT or items after winning the battle.

Every hero has a special skill, which can be viewed in the “market” screen.

What’s more, by mounting items, heroes can gain additionaly points of the above attributes. In the future, we also plan to give the heroes additional special skills if some rare items are mounted.

Currently, items are classified into 3 kinds: weapons, armors, accessories. And every hero has one slot for each of the 3 kinds
