The second round of the Bronze Age of Mithraeum is on the way!

If you are reading this, you have probably been blessed by the goddess to participate in the early stages of truly ambitious on-chain experience.

Many readers are already familiar with the Mithraeum universe. Some have already imprinted their victories forever in its history. But many rulers and warlords have yet to prove themselves.

It is very likely that you are one of those who are confused about why the BLESS of the goddess descended on you and what Mithraeum is.

Let’s figure it out..

About Mithraeum

Mithraeum is a pure on-chain grand strategy game strongly focused on players’ social interactions. To be successful in the game, the players use their economic and military resources (physical layer), alongside social and analytical skills converting them into political influence and thus spread their will upon others (social layer). In other words, it is a strategy game that, thanks to the blockchain as a game theoretic playground, turns into a real time political simulator.

Mithraeum is not just a game, it is an environment that creates conditions and incentivization for players to build their on-chain social laws on top of a basic game protocol. Accordingly, they scale their weight in the competitive struggle for geographic spheres of influence.

After a blisteringly successful alpha, the time has come for the game to smoothly transition into beta. This will provide the final staging post for all the core mechanics needed for autonomous decentralized operation to have been completed and tested, preceding the game’s final transition to mainnet state forever.

Mithraeum is currently at the Bronze Age stage — a series of limited public tests where the Mithraeum community tests and validates hypotheses related to game design. It takes place on the Gnosis Chain. We are pleased to announce that the second round of the Bronze Age is on its way.

What is BLESS?

BLESS is an ERC-20 test token issued specifically for the upcoming new test of the Bronze Age. Briefly speaking, these are access tickets to the test game. You can spend BLESS to create your first settlements.

The amount of BLESS required to create a settlement is not fixed and will progress as the zones on the world map fill up. Read more here..

BLESS contract address: 0x268b00641ae3BB8D274f4725CfAFD3a7c031644F

IMPORTANT: This generation of BLESS will have utility access only for one specific test. When the test is over, these test tokens will lose utility FOREVER.

What should I do?

First of all — claim your BLESS! Note that you will need to switch network to Gnosis Chain and some xDAI to pay network fees.

Secondly, join the Mithraeum community on Discord. Follow the announcements, meet your potential future neighbors, friends, enemies.
The social part of the game starts NOW!

Thirdly, we advise you to negotiate in advance and attract other BLESSed ones to your side (list below). This will give you a stronger position at the start of the game.

You may also want to create your own political organization (guild) and try to recruit other players. We encourage the formation of new organizations within the Mithraeum universe, and if you meet the criteria, you have a chance to be gifted by the game by some amount of additional BLESS.
