The war is coming.
The most awaited high baller event of APWars is the war against factions. Since the genesis of the protocol, the war is described with excitement and highly anticipated by our fans.
Pre-war
Before going to battle, we have to pay a visit to the training grounds. This pre-war event will be an open beta, pre-war, for the community to engage with and help test the war contracts in a real circumstance. Any vulnerability found will be rewarded. Besides having a symbolic prize, this pre-war will have the sole goal to test the game.
Apwar
The whole war concept, which is the core mechanism of APWars in the game’s early stages, comprises three acts.
1 — The Battle for Supremacy
Every two weeks, a battle is scheduled to happen. Players must farm units before the battle begins.
There is a 3-day period for staking the combat troops on the battle’s smart contract. Players choose which side they would like to battle with:
Corporations or Degens. Placing minions on both sides of the battlefield can be a strategy to reduce risk and returns.
Each faction unit’s strength and defense amount is summed, but randomness and morale are added to the mix. Randomness can be understood as luck, a randomly generated number that can benefit one side instead of the other. Morale is a variable that decreases the strength and defense attributes of the most numerous team. The higher the difference in these attributes between the teams, the higher morale will affect the War results, but it cannot do miracles.
After the 3-day staking period, the war results are computed within the smart contract, all within a single block. Both sides likely lose troops; still, one faction will prevail as the winner. The lost troops are burned and can only be minted again with new farming. The remaining brave and lucky troops can be used for the next war.
Unique NFT War Collectibles
Every player on the winning faction will receive an NFT that will grant his participation in the war against the Dark Forces. It is also a symbolic compensation for this hard achievement.
The losing faction will lose all their troops. However, every player will receive war-only participation NFT, which can be sold in the secondary market. Every war will grant players with different NFTs each time.
2 — The war against the Forces of Extreme Darkness
This is the second round in the war, a battle that we’ve all been waiting for. The war against the Forces of Extreme Darkness is a war to prove your abilities as a warlord and defeat the enemy, locking a considerable amount of wGOLD — 3.6% of every deposit on APWars paid pools is set aside for this moment. In every war against the Forces of Extreme Darkness, a random number between 1 and 100 is generated, and battling players have the chance to withdraw the equivalent amount of the deposit fees, according to the percentage of the randomly generated number.
For example, if the lucky number is 70, then 70% of the wGOLD retrieved in deposit fees is distributed to the players, according to their troop’s total power at that point. The remaining 30% is burned.
This mechanic serves as an incentive for people to battle for the real prize and take part in all farming layers because at each layer, the troops farmed are more potent than the previous ones. The wGOLD burning feature also decreases its supply, making it even more scarce in the long run. But believe it or not, depending on the circumstances, the FED’s treasury is not the biggest reward you can amass from the war. What happens after it is the big event regarding wGOLD farming.
3 — Celebration Festival
Whenever you join the first round of the war: The Battle for Supremacy, in which the Degenerate and Corporation factions face each other, you will clash troop power against troop defense. Defending and Attacking factions are chosen at random. There is a random luck coefficient, which can affect the outcome as a multiplier, only if the aggregate attack power of the factions is not too uneven. The weaker side will receive a morale modifier, an equilibrium parameter pondered by the difference in troop sizes. Consider that wCOURAGE tokens will be distributed between players by the following methodology:
Every player possesses an ideal fraction of the total troop power of their faction. The players of the winning faction will receive their respective wCOURAGE tokens based on the percentage of their ideal fraction but calculated with the total power of the losing faction. And the players from the players of the winning faction will receive their tokens based on the percentage of their ideal fraction but calculated with the total power of the winning coalition. The equilibrium mechanics is based on the courage of the players to stake troops at the weaker faction before the war.
After the war ends, a festive event known as the Celebration Festival comes into play. It is a period in which a subsidized wCOURAGE/wGOLD pool appears for wGOLD farming. This promotional pool presents the higher APR of the game.
