After a long wait ETH.TOWN has finally launched! we've been following the game since they came up with the news, See below a short introduction about the game.

Heroes

A lot of ETH.TOWN is based on your heroes, it’s your minions who trade for you, fight for you, and merge for you!

The ETH.TOWN heroes are an ERC-721 Ethereum token (this code stays for non-fungible tokens, that is each hero is unique, your ownership and the properties of the hero are recorded on the blockchain, and you can transfer and trade it on platforms that support the standard).

There are even super-customized heroes with their appearance made after their owners, which people could acquire as a bonus during our pre-sale event earlier this year. More details on that here: https://hackernoon.com/custom-heroes-in-the-blockchain-game-eth-town-694773111e3c

Hero merging

Just like in real life, the heroes merge and create offsprings, which are better than the originals. It takes a boy-hero and a girl-hero hero to make a new baby-hero, and the new one will have a mix of the parents’ genes, stats, and looks. The parents retire right after merging, and leave the town. You start with level-0 heroes and can reach levels up to level-15 (you get a Super Hero). Hero transfer anywhere

You can use the UI to transfer a hero to another player. We don’t have our own marketplace for Heroes yet, but hey we’ve got OpenSea covering us! It’s a great Hero marketplace until we have our own one.

Hero giveaway

New heroes arrive in ETH.TOWN all the time. You can get them at a price of some ETIT tokens, or even for free! Every 15 minutes a new team of fresh level-0 heroes arrives to town, and they are available for hire at a price. If nobody hires (buys) the heroes, the price goes down, and it goes down all way to just zero (get them for free) eventually!

Hero fights at the Titans Arena Your heroes can fight against other heroes in battles getting Gems, XP, Battle Points (more on that below). The fighting mechanics are pretty simple, it’s based on the good old rock-paper-scissors game. When the hit chance and damage are calculated, the game takes into account hero stats (including the effects from equipment) and genes (crits, toughness). You just send a hero to the arena, they find a suitable opponent, and they fight!

Adventures

Send your heroes for an epic adventure and get some loot! It’s very simple: pick an adventure, choose a hero to send, wait until the hero returns, and claim the goodies! Gems for you, XP for the hero, and equipment items for both! The chances for better items, and time it takes to complete each adventure depends on the hero’s stats and equipment.

Gem pot.

By fighting and adventuring you can win Gems. So far there are two ways to spend Gems: • buy equipment to improve your heroes’ stats in fights and adventures; • send them to the Gem Pot!

Equipment Store

Equipment items are ERC-721 (non-fungible) tokens, just like heroes. You can equip and un-equip items from heroes at any time, trade items in your inventory, and do anything else you’d do with a non-fungible token.

ETIT Holders’ Corner

a special place for those who have some ETIT. Here you can see the system stats, how many ETIT have been burned, how many were minted, how much Ether got into the ETIT pool, and how much of the pool is yours.

Dice game

Fair dice game using the ETH.TOWN DAppChain powered by Loom. Using the sidechain allows extremely fast confirmation times (it takes much much longer to play the animation than to complete the round on the blockchain, which consists of three sequential transactions).

Achievements.

The achievements come in collections. Completing all achievements in a collection earns you an even larger prize: a rare hero equipment item!

Crypto Tower floors!

The floors is a large part of the game, and a great opportunity to earn a lot by making the right choices. Every time you buy out a floor or a share in the floor, you also get some ETIT (2 ETIT per Ether sent).

There are two kinds of floors in the Tower: personal and crowdsale floors. The difference is that the former can be bought out in its entirety by a single person, and the latter can only bought out by a group of players.

When a floor is bought out (by a single purchase for simple floors, or when there are enough new purchases for crowdsale floors), the previous owner or owners get their revenue from the price difference, and the floor gets the new owner or owners. Another portion of the profit goes directly to the ETIT pool. It’s simple: if you think the floor is good and someone will buy it out from you, buy a share. Plain and simple.

If nobody buys out the floor from its owners within certain time, the owners get a huge amount of ETIT (400 ETIT per each Ether spent), and this way they can get way more bigger share in the ETIT pool than before.

If you were a part of a group of players who failed to collect the whole amount to buy out a crowdsale floor from the previous owners in time, you get 80% of the amount refunded (the other 20% go to the ETIT pool).

Keep your eyes open. If you want instant profit, buy the floors you think will be bought out from you. If you want ETIT though, buy what you think nobody will buy out from you.

The floor price and max share limit is growing all the time. The level of the hero you send to close the deal on the floor defines the amount of profit you get after the floor is bought out from you.

Initially the game will have 10+ floors on sale, each with its own parameters and rules.

The BTTF and the Hacker floors pre-sold during the pre-sale will be slightly different: if you got a share of them, you’ll need to claim your profit manually after it’s sold. This is done because some people had their addressed changed or stolen/compromised, and we want to ensure everyone gets their Ether by managing the return process semi-manually.

Please remember that ETH.TOWN is a computer game, the property “investments” and other purchases made in the game are not real investments. Don’t send more Ether than you can afford to lose.
