Welcome to Cloud Castles
At the barriers of the virtual world and fantasy, Cloud Castles emerges as a new game created by the same experts responsible for the Heroes of Might and Magic series. Cloud Castles is being developed by the DIG veteran team of seasoned professionals from leading AAA and mobile video game companies, including Tencent, Electronic Arts, Take-Two, Activision Blizzard, and Ubisoft.
Welcome to Cloud Castles.
Elisus is a fractured realm. Eons ago, an apocalyptic war triggered a cataclysm that shattered the world. The descendants of the survivors now live on clusters of islands floating in an endless sky of clouds and castles.
Patriam was and is a peaceful community, and Debellator its ancient aggressor. Their ancient war, the Grieving, was devastating because both sides were so evenly matched. But still Debellator pressed on despite enormous losses, and Patriam refused to capitulate, for it knew that surrender would carry an even worse fate
Game Features
Cloud Castles is a gaming experience developed by video game veterans equipped as a dynamic role-playing game experience, with real-time strategy and tactics in fast-paced battles, and fantasy creatures and artifacts to collect, evolve, customize, and own via blockchain technology. Cloud Castles offers a cutting-edge, new way to game.
Cloud Castles contain battlegrounds scattered across the sky, each with unique topography. Some are arid wastelands, while others are natural areas overgrown with plants. Since the aim is to showcase a diversity of settings, each battleground has a distinctive topography, such as grassland or desert, in addition to natural features like rivers or lava, and obstacles like bridges and walls.
The foundation of every match is the creatures you possess. Every conflict is different — the terrain types, the amount of energy you can tap into, plus the various creatures your opponent deploys. Creatures are actually statues magically carved by Command, and these statues are vessels which players fill with magical energy to animate them for combat. On the battlefield, infused with magical energy, they come to life as colorful and vibrant fantasy creatures, fully animated and bursting with rich audio and visual effects.
Augmentation is the process of improving the stats or abilities of creatures, and Artifacts are what perform that augmentation. Some Artifacts can be effectively applied to any creature — like a health increase — while others are only useful to certain types — like a flight speed boost. This provides endless customization to Cloud Castles and makes every gameplay experience unique.
As players and creatures battle, this process leads to improving the strength, fortitude, power, and capability of creatures over time, increasing parameter values and unlocking new abilities. It’s important to acquire more and better creatures, augment them, and gain experience, to succeed against stronger opponents and win greater rewards; but in the matches themselves, success comes down to fundamental strategy and tactics.
Cloud Castles values the input of the community, and they seek to involve the players in the development process by conducting iterative full-game development cycles. As a result, Cloud Castles is at the frontier of technological advancement and digital economy, establishing the future of high-quality interactive entertainment for the global market.

Fellowships Formed as DAOs
You are not playing alone. Self-organized groups of players are called fellowships, which offer a number of different features to members, facilitated by the Cloud Castles environment. Being connected to other players, and pursuing collective goals and achievements, is a big motivator for long term engagement. Cloud Castles will feature ways to form Fellowships traditionally as well as in DAOs, enabling a shared treasury, and governorship, among the usual guild/clan features, within a DAO structure
Distribution of in-game resources is done in the Command Store, Auction House, and Commodities Exchange. Command store is where new assets are for sale, like Creatures, Cosmetics, and other offerings.
DIG Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology will be seamlessly integrated into DIG titles without being overt, allowing players to be unfamiliar with traditional blockchain concepts like wallets, tokens, and governance. Instead, the concepts are optional and progressively introduced as players advance and grow more familiar with the game.
