Land - Overview
It's a second game within Splinterlands
The old cards work to produce the new cards
Players can mint their own cards - no other card game has done this
Empowers the players
Land Proposal
Whether or not there should be an option to spend DEC or DEC-B to get better resources on land when surveying goes live
Land key characteristics
4 Rarities
14 Land Types
Land Categories:
Natural
Magical
Occupied
Buildings
On each land plot you can construct one building
All buildings will have storage
One of the types of buildings you will be able to build is an arena
If you build an arena - that's where the ranked battles will take place and you will earn reward shares
Production
You will need to put the monster and summoner cards to work on the land
Up to 5 cards per plot (subject to change)
Encourage the combining of cards
The older cards will be valuable to use on land
The newer cards will be valuable at higher levels too
You will need to stake DEC in order for your cards to come to life to work on the land
The DEC will come from burning SPS
Items and spell cards
Still quite a while away
The product that your business will make from your land production
Most people don't have land and will need these cards
Land will also open up prefix name titles
You can earn titles through differnt goals and objectives
Eventually there will be a competition between the territories to unlock the secret of Praetoria
When it is completed there will be an airdrop
There will be leaderboards for land
Castles and Keeps
Can have sub buildings that can be upgraded
Castle and Keep owners can just sit back and collect benefits
Everyone can contribute to upgrading in case the owner is MIA
The more you contribute, the more you will benefit
Resources
Natural
Magical
Occupied Essences
There will also be Refined resources
For example, you can combine the grain with the essences to create sustenance so that your workers can keep producing
Runi
A special type of worker
One runi per plot
Will give you significant benefits on your plot
Final thoughts - You will need a large amount of DEC and high level cards if you want a powerhouse land business
