G4N9: Domination Origins Whitepaper Domination Origins is a turn-based 2D tactical game developed by the Crypto G4N9 team. Set in the futuristic world of Metropolis dominated by rival factions, with war between the districts being rife to rule over Metropolis. G4N9 is a P2E game using characters, weapons, armor and other gear, all NFT based. These pieces of art will be your tools to dominate the G4N9 game world. Factions There are 3 different factions: Shadow, Dragon and GS Society. These are not only assigned to your troops (character NFTs) but also are also areas in which you can play. Choosing to match the troops faction to the same battleground will give you an advantage, so it will play a part in how you choose to play. Coins The G4N9 coins are the primary currency in the G4N9 game and can be earned through G4N9 battles and staking your G4N9. The coins can be used to purchase troops, weapons, armor and other G4N9 items within the game as well as in the lead up to it. We will also be adding more utility to the coins as development progresses. When the game is launched a liquidity pool will be added to the token so that you can exchange these coins. However, with the currency being very useful to progress in the game and purchase items, you may want to hang on! Items/Gear - NFTs - Phase 1 G4N9 troops – These are the PFP NFTs that are needed to play the game. You can choose to go into battle with just one character, however we don’t recommend it! Each troop has slots to be equipped before battle. They are 1x Weapon 1x Armor 2x Item Weapons – As seen from the chests, these are your instruments of war and are used to increase your offense. Each weapon has its own abilities and its own advantages. Armor – Similar to the shields these also increase the defense of your troop and have advantages over certain weapons and attacks. Items – Can be used in combat for special purposes or bonuses. Shields and Helmets increase the defense while medi-kits can heal the characters. G4N9 Stats These are the attributes that your G4N9 has and how they are used in battle. Agility – The amount you can move your troop around the battlefield during a turn Dexterity – Bonus to ranged weapons Intelligence – This determines the amount of focus your troop has and is used for skills Strength – Bonus to melee weapons Gameplay The Battlefield Depending on which faction arena you choose to go to war will depend on how the map looks and the layout. The battlefield is laid out in a grid like formation showing obstructions and paths to take. The amount you can move a G4N9 troop will depend on the Agility of the troop. Remember to choose your army wisely as matching the right G4N9 troop faction and arena will give you an advantage and increased player XP for winning! Battles/Matches Each match will be between 10-15 rounds of combat. There will be a minimum of 1 turn for each G4N9 troop before the round ends. Each turn will last 10 seconds, where you can choose to either move, attack, use a skill or sprint. If the time runs out before a player takes a turn, this turn will automatically be skipped. "Power points" represent the combined strength of a squad of 1-5 units. Each battle will have an upper limit for the "Power points" that each player can bring into battle. Turns Move – Moves the player around the battlefield with the distance depending on their agility level Attack – The attack on an enemy troop with the range and damage depending on the weapon. If no weapon is assigned before the battle begins, a melee attack will be used Skill/Abilities – Skills and abilities are found within each gear and troops NFT. Each skill has its own unique effect and focus cost with a cooldown period. Each G4N9 troop has a maximum of 3 skills to equip. Sprint – This is an option that can be used only once per troop during a battle. This allows any G4N9 to move a certain distance regardless of their Agility and previous movement. Rounds Each match will be 10 rounds as standard. A round will be over when all G4N9 troops on either side have used all their turns. If a player is able to defeat their opponent before the 10 rounds, then the Battle will end and the player will be declared victorious. If both players have all of their troops still alive at the end of the 10 rounds or there is an equal number of G4N9s still in play on each side, then the Battle will extend to 15 rounds. If after 15 rounds both players have 5 or more troops still in play, the battle will end in a draw. If both sides still have the same amount of G4N9 left at the end of the 15 rounds, the battle will also end in a draw. Rewards In order to engage in battle, a battle stake has to be bet against the other player. From the combined stakes, a small percentage will be transferred to the global treasury as a combat tax. The following rewards will be given to the victor of each battle with a small % being given equally for a draw. The aim of the game is to win! Reputation – Used in PVP only, this will determine your global rankings. Every season global ranking rewards (Coins & NFTs from the treasury) will be distributed to the top players and the ranking will be reset. Troop Experience – This will be given to the troops that are still left standing at the end of the battle and used to level up your G4N9. Coins – Coins will be given for a successful battle win or draw Loot – Depending on the type of match or event, loot will be given to the victor Buildings - Phase 2 Arena Once engaged in war you will find yourself on a battlefield and in close combat with your enemy. The arena will depend on which faction owns it and the battlefield will match that faction. When choosing your troops, advantages in battle and more XP for winning will be given to the troops that match the battlefield faction. SO think about this when choosing where to play! Barracks This is where you will be able to stake your G4N9 for other players to “rent” for their battles in return for a stake of their winnings. You will also be able to stake and rent your weapons so hang on tight to those special ones! Temple This is where you will be able to use your Serum to “mutate” your G4N9 troops. The Serum works by creating a new NFT of either an Infernal, Ethereal, Wraith or Bionicl. This means that serum will be a highly valuable commodity in the G4N9 game. War Factory This is the marketplace where you can purchase all the G4N9 troops, items, weapons and other gear that you can use on the battlefield. This is also where you can see all of the weapons and G4N9 that are available to rent, and their % stake of a successful battle. Phase 2 - NFTs Companions – Used to take into battle to aid you in combat. Companions can provide a major advantage and can be used to increase your agility as well as your offense. Keep an eye out for these and watch out as these could change the course of your battle dramatically. “In the near future, wars will break out, countries will fall and only a few will dominate. The G4N9 has come out of the shadows to conquer the world. Are you willing to stand up to their dominance or will you be the one conquering?”
