Gameplay
The core gameplay of Eternal Dragons will be a multi chapter trilogy. The first chapter which is available in the alpha is called "Strife" and it's based on an auto chess game, and is similiar to other autobattlers you may have seen. This is where players battle for victory with powerful dragons and minions. In this gaming mode you will require a fine balance of strategy and tactics to come out on top of your opposition. There is also a city builder and 4x strategy planned for the future.
There are a number of difference game modes to overcome. The gameplay is simple to understand but difficult to master. A player engages in each fight by deploying both dragons and minions from a randomly generated roster onto the battlefield using a bank of activity points. After all forces have been deployed, you will commence battle and conclude without further player involvement. Between each round of combat, this cycle repeats, reducing the health of either you or your opponent until only one player remains. The amount of damage you will do to your opposition is directly related to what level creatures are alive on the battlefield after a round has completed. During battles you can also upgrade your shop so that you have higher level minions and dragons to choose from, so that you may dish out more damage to your opponent each round.
Affinities & Roars
Gameplay is intensified by both affinity's and roars. Affinity's are abilities that either buff or nerf the combat prowess of a player's army. The actual effects can have a variety of triggers, but they won't be enabled until the player has a sufficient number of unique troops with the same affinity in proximity to your other units. For every number of unique units reached, each synergy gets a better buff.
Esports & Guilds
The fundamental gameplay is made to accommodate the world of esports & guilds, where participants may, for instance, choose their own tournaments and establish their own entry fees, inviting others to compete for prize money. Guilds are said to hit the landscape once the city builder is created.
Purchasing Dragons
In Eternal Dragons, a dragon's natural power evolution curve is determined by their amount of Eternium invested aswell as fight experience. Playing frequently with your Dragons and reinvesting your Eternium earnings is one of the easiest ways to increase a players net value. This will in turn increase a dragons market value as a result. You will gain advantages from owning a Genesis Eternal Dragon over the long run for all chapters and their entire ecosystem. There is also a breeding program which offers players a way to participate in the value creation in the ecosystem without having to have game specific skills. Right now on the marketplace, you can purchase an Eternal Dragon for around $160 USD.
Economy
The games main token is called Eternium which is said to be the essence of Time in its purest form, the magical element imbuing and flowing through everything. This is a SPL token on the Solana blockchain.
Eternium is an in-game currency with a changeable supply. The developers are able to regulate the quantity of Eternium, as well as modify the costs of the various things Eternium is used for in order to maintain a healthy game economy.
Players will receive Eternium as rewards for completing quests in the game (such as participating in PvE, winning PvP matches, carrying out specific acts, etc.) and as recognition for noteworthy accomplishments.
It can also be purchased on compatible trading platforms aswell as being awarded to owners of Genesis Eternal Dragons who either nest their pets or participate in community events.
There is also a governance token planned to be released called $EDQ which is designed to reinforce the value proposition of ownership in the Eternal Dragons realm and control the DAO.
Team
Eternal Dragons comes out of a gaming studio called Trailblazer games which is a Singapore based gaming studio which is incredibly impressive having worked on titles such as SimCity and Candy Crush. Their mission is to design and build games that fairly distribute the value created between community, developers, and investors, creating real-life value through true ownership of assets and a distributed revenue share.
Their core team is around 25 strong, with a number of other impressive accolades between them. They're all fully doxxed aswell, so there no worrying about the integrity of the team either.
