Wagons

Essential to play.

To participate in the first season of Pioneers NFT, you must purchase a Wagon. The mint fee distribution is explained in detail in the Game Economics section.

In the first season of the game, there will be 1000 Wagons NFT to be minted, each of them with a unique name (about 350 for each letter of the alphabet, excluding the X letter).

The name associated with the NFT is important for gameplay purposes.

In addition to the name, each NFT has two Inconvenience identifiers, defined as Items, that indicate to which inconveniences our wagon is invulnerable. For example, let's consider these three wagons:

NAME: JULIE

ITEM1: I

ITEM2: P

NAME: THOMAS

ITEM1: C

ITEM2: X

NAME: RAUL

ITEM1: Y

ITEM2: J

• The wagon named JULIE has items I and P, so it's immune respectively to I (illness) and P (poison) inconveniences.

• The wagon named THOMAS has items C and X, so it's immune respectively to C (cold temperatures) and X (oxen problems) inconveniences.

• The wagon named RAUL has items Y and J, so it's immune respectively to Y (psychosis) and J (injuries) inconveniences.

Understanding how inconveniences work is very simple. During the journey, the smart contract will randomly generate a letter of the alphabet (precisely about every 255 blocks created on the blockchain, ~50 minutes). Every wagon whose name starts with that letter will be affected by an inconvenience on its respective trail, making it vulnerable to other players' ambushes until another letter is generated. However, this won't happen if the wagon has an item that matches the generated inconvenience (eg. item X and inconvenience X).

Since the inconvenience set that can be generated on a specific trail is visible to the players, you can choose to move to the most suitable trail for your wagon, based on its items.

We will elaborate on the topics Inconveniences and Trails in the next sections.
