Installing MetaMask

How to Install

Metamask is a 3rd-party extension for the Opera, Chrome, Firefox, and Brave browsers. It can be downloaded and more information can be found here.

Getting Ether (ETH)

To use Metamask for CryptoRome, you will require ETH in your Metamask wallet. Everyone has the option to use a 3rd-party cryptocurrency exchange to purchase ETH and send it to their Metamask wallet's address.

If you live in the US, you have the ability to purchase ETH directly through Metamask using their Coinbase widget.

Making purchase

Using Metamask

Once ETH is in your Metamask wallet, you will be able to make a purchase using Metamask in our landsale. When you select Metamask in the landsale, you will be required to submit the transaction in the Metamask app. You will notice a nominal gas charge, which is a normal fee paid to the individuals that host and protect the Ethereum blockchain.

CryptoRome Gameplay
What happens after landsale?

Upon successful completion of landsale

The land of Italia will be created for CryptoRome through a Smart Contract factory. Each piece of CryptoRome land will be a uniqiue digital asset represented by a Smart Contract. The land will be issued randomly to all participants in the landsale. No new land will be created in CryptoRome at the completion of the initial dispersement of land. Each piece of land will be unique and will have stats for soldiers and various resources based on land type and randomly generated terrain. The land will come with a preset name. These digital pieces of land will be used for the general game play in CryptoRome.

When will the land be available?

Land Availability

The smart contract factory that generates the land assets is being prepared. We will require information from the land sale conclusion before finalizing and testing this contract (such as numbers of each land type sold). Once the land sale is concluded, we will finalize the contract factory and deploy the contract. Land will be issued at this time to all the wallets and user accounts that participated in the land sale. We will keep the community continually updated on our progress via Discord and Medium posts.

When will the battles begin?

CryptoRome: The Battle for Europe

The unique digital assets that comprise CryptoRome will be used by GigLabs to create a game for the Battle for Europe. The Battle for Europe will utilize the CryptoRome land assets and resources to wage war throughout Europe. Land conquered in Europe will be up for battle daily with the spoils of war going to the victor of each piece of land. Conquer the most land in a day and become Caesar of CryptoRome for a day. The battle game and system will be under development for a few months following the land sale. We will keep the CryptoRome community up to date via Discord and Medium on progress and information as we proceed to complete the game.

Can I play on my smart phone and tablet?

Phone and Tablet Support

Unlike most blockchain based games, CryptoRome will be supported on your phone and tablet upon launch. We are able to do this through the ability to tie Ethereum addresses to the unique accounts we create. The game will initially be accessible on your phone and tablet via mobile browser. Our roadmap includes plans for native apps for both Android and iPhone as well. Only those that own land will be able to play the game. You do not have to purchase land to play. Plots can be acquired for free by completing one of our bounty programs.

Will I be able to sell my land and resources?

CryptoRome Marketplace

CryptoRome will have a marketplace available that will allow CryptoRome citizens to sell and purchase land. CryptoRome citizens will also be able to sell and attain the resources necessary to support their battle efforts throughout the rest of Europe, modify their land, and build buildings that will enhance their land and military might.

Can I modify my land?

Each piece of land in CryptoRome will be of a specific terrain. This land can be modified with industry, mines, and farms. These modifications will be represented by Smart Contracts that are attached to the land smart contract. Modifications will improve land resource production and permit citizens of CryptoRome to construct better soldiers and battle equipment to improve their efficiency in the battle for Europe. More details will be made available in future blog posts on our Medium blog.

Game mechanics

More about The Battle for Europe

The digital assets in Italia that are purchased during the land sale will enable users to play the game. This land will forever belong to the CryptoRome citizen unless they sell it to another citizen in the marketplace. The remaining land in Europe is different. This land is available for conquer daily. Users will contribute resources, soldiers, and equipment to battle for different pieces of land on the European game map. At midnight each day, the results of battle are calculated and a smart contract is updated on the Ethereum blockchain to reflect the results of battle and resource accounting from battle. This contract will be available for all to see and will indicate the senators and caesar of CryptoRome for the following 24 hour period. Caesar and senators will receive a portion of the transaction fees for all transactions made within the marketplace for this period (in CryptoRome, this is known as collecting taxes). For more information, check out our Medium blog periodically as we post information about the game and tips.
