Splinterlands will soon release an arcade colony-developed ability named Bloodline Tribute.
The gameplay depth of Splinterlands continues to grow through the rumored addition of the upcoming ability "Bloodline Tribute". Bloodline Tribute. The upcoming Bloodline Tribute ability has community members excited because it will tie into ArcadeColony—a Web3 gaming hub that Splinterlands co-developed within its ecosystem.
Bloodline Tribute represents a game-changing system that will integrate sacrifice and inheritance functionality to the gameplay experience. Leaked documentation suggests the upcoming Bloodline Tribute ability enables creatures to transfer their attributes or traits to friendly units when they perish through death thus creating bloodline-effect dynamics. A future system implementation would create new strategic challenges which reward careful unit placement and timing mechanics in gameplay.
The developers at ArcadeColony created this system to evaluate and demonstrate blockchain technologies, including NFTs and token economies within existing game systems. ArcadeColony currently supports Moon Karts alongside its two native tokens which power its economics: SCRIPT and COLONY. Two tokens enable platform functioning: SCRIPT serves as the utility/stable token and COLONY acts as the governance token. Players who stake SPS and GLX tokens with Splinterlands have already received COLONY distributions through the blockchain airdrop program.
Bloodline Tribute fulfills ongoing projects at Splinterlands by marrying storyline-centric mechanics to competitive systems. Part of the card's naming convention appears to refer to payment with blood when a card dies to boost opposing forces—a significant gameplay modification during matches.
All players and investors must follow both official Splinterlands and ArcadeColony channels to receive official announcements regarding new developments. When Bloodline Tribute becomes real it will shift the entire competitive structure of Splinterlands along with card market values within the metagame.
