Discover the Civitas: first AAA Play&Earn strategy
We’ve seen more and more quality blockchain projects, and it’s inspiring us. Blockchain gaming really needs AAA-level games in various genres and especially P2E strategies. Civitas is a promising project that pretends to lead this niche. It plans to unite AR, DAO, P2E, M2E, NFT, and other game mechanics in organic and exciting gameplay. Let’s look closer?
About Civitas
Civitas is the first decentralized “Play&Earn" strategy. Conceptual the Civitas world is a map with several city-states. Each city has a "tower of influence" (a government center) and lands where its citizens live, earn and build.
The most exciting thing is that the DAO will completely control the game, and each city is ruled by its subDAO. That means the citizens of the city really and independently manage it. This unique concept allows building gaming communities not in chats and socials but directly in the game.
Activities
Build - you need to own land in the city to become a citizen. The land product resources and owner can build and arrange his plot as he wants. How exactly it will look and work is not yet clear, but developers promise vast opportunities for customization and upgrade.
Explore - players can not only sit behind the desktop and look at their lands but also walk and collect resources in RL. The game's mobile version uses AR and geolocation to drop prizes, resources, and other items in your area. There will also be single and multiplayer mini-games available.
Earn - there will be utilitarian traded CITI token. Players can earn CITI with various activities. For example, they can find it with AR in their area, sell the land's resources, or stake it in the city's "tower of influence". In addition, each subDAO has a treasury and can pay rewards to citizens.
Citizens can be elected to the local government to solve diplomatic issues and the city's problems, but all subDAO members can vote on important issues.
Cities can compete with each other for influence and resources, but the developers are trying to build gameplay so that cities cooperate rather than compete. For example, each city will have unique resources that they can share. Individual players can also trade with citizens of their own and other cities.
The mobile and desktop Civitas actually use two different gameplay types. Desktop - is the management of the land + participation in the city governance (via "tower of influence"), and mobile - is M2E activities with AR elements.
Tokens and tokenomics
There are only a few words on the website about CITI. It's a utilitarian and tradable ERC-20 token on L2 solutions. It will be used to:
And the second type of token - is NFT: lands and characters. But there is no any information about it. Characters may looks like:
Team and investors
Investors and strategies - the project has already raised $20M for development. Delphi Digital, Three Arrows Capital, DeFiance Capital, CCP Games, and several other foundations are on the investor's list.
Angels - Bored Elon, Santiago Roel, Stani - Aave, Kain - Synthetix, Jordan - Synthethix.
The team - there is a complete list of team members, but without links to social accounts. You can find it in the Civitas whitepaper or just click here.
Civitas dis/advantages
An unusual concept - Civitas not only wants to make a blockchain clone of a successful franchise but to add new trends such as M2E and decentralized governance. And all this with Unreal Engine 5.
A strong team - the project's team consists of dozens of professionals (and there are still open positions). It really looks like a team that can make a strong game.
Powerful Bakers - Three Arrows Capital is a Tier 1 fund, and CCP Games created EVE Online. And that's just the early fundraising stage.
Civitas has no any products for now. There is no gameplay demo, no tokenomics, no roadmap, and even no game world description.
Relatively weak social networks: 7.1K followers on Twitter (but there are a lot of influencers and well-known crypto enthusiasts) and 12.7 K on Discord. However, it's OK for pre-early.
Our Conclusion
There is not enough information to make concrete decisions or actions. Civitas has big plans, ambitions, and strong partners but no detailed plan to realize its goals. The project's core is the gameplay concept, and we are waiting for it.
We continue to follow Civitas and await new announcements and development results. You will be the first to know about DeLa Capital's movements.
