It has been almost 2 months since we introduced Castle Mode — the first battle mode in our Etheremon World. This mode has been very successful, witnessing 900 castles and more than 40k battles! However we have also taken on board the community feedback about high gas cost of battles, and today we would like to introduce a new battle mode: Castle Practice. This mode is a combination of castle mode + gym mode and addresses the issue of high gas price.

The Castle Practice mode will be executed in our server (off-chain) and sync the result back to the Ethereum network (to increase monster experience and distribute EMONT rewards) via Oraclize.

Game rules:

Trainee selects a team of three attackers & up to three supporters.

Trainee pays a low fee and selects 15 existing castles to attack at once (each castle can only be selected once); gas requirements will be minimal.

Trainee’s monsters will be rewarded with experience for each win and less experience for a loss, however attackers do not gain EMONT from their wins.

Castle owners whose castles were selected for attack will receive 0.25 EMONT regardless whether they win or lose the battle.

Castle owners do not lose any bricks from this mode, and attackers do not gain any EMONT (just significant amounts of experience)

The fee charged for this mode will be used to pay for Oraclize and EMONT for the castle owners. This new battle mode is under testing and it will be released in the next couple of weeks.

Note: that the actual amount (of max number of castles to attack, EMONT payouts etc.) and game rules are subject to change based on our testing results.
