1/ Playtern Thoughts 💭

So @the_settlements just sold out about an hour ago and here's a quick overview thread on it 🧵

2/ @the_settlements is a turn-based on-chain NFT game created by @ethandaya where you can create your own civilization.

Inspirations were derived from age of empires + civilization and ofc @lootproject

3/ Upon minting you get 6 randomized core traits for your own civilization which are:

1. Size
2. Spirit
3. Age
4. Resource
5. Morale
6. Government

& Realm (more on this below)

4/ Now everyone was chasing realms initially and here's why you probably shouldn't unless you're one of the first hundred (more on this later)

5/ Realms serve more as a "counter" of sorts that indicates how many times you've re-rolled.

Initially, all minted realms are Genesis but you have 5 turns to "re-roll" which explains the other realms Valhalla, Shadow, Keskella, Ends & Plains

6/ Traits are assigned at mint, and if you decide to re-roll you get a chance to "Randomize" and get a brand new set of traits for a new civilization.

However you also move on to the next realm with no possibility of going back

Genesis -> Valhalla -> ++

7/ Initially everyone was so busy minting that not much people noticed this tweet. It was only after people started seeing new realms other than genesis + someone posting this on Discord, that people started to randomize their own settlements

8/ Max token supply is 10,000

9900 available to the public
100 reserved for owner (reserved for owner / future expansion packs / and some distributed to early Valhalla randomizers)

9/ Went thru etherscan and looked for the first 100 successful randomized settlement address holders (If you randomized multiple I counted each as a separate entry)

Put them all into the pastebin below if you wanna see if you made the cut i guess 👇

10/ From listening in on the discord call awhile ago, since everyone is starting to randomize, it is possible that down the road, people start to value the ones that never "rolled" (aka genesis settlements)

11/ Traits are all pretty much evenly distributed and so the rarity will mostly likely be from playing the game itself or after people randomize

12/ Some things to look forward to are the development of expansion packs, armies, sub civilizations to name a few and even the possibility of randomization fees being distributed to token holders of originals / expansion packs

13/ @nansen_ai dashboards will still take time (maybe after a couple hours to get enough data) but the smart money buys segment for @the_settlements is looking interesting

Lots of Smart Money and even a @DeFianceCapital addy 👀

14/ Just realized before posting I probably should've used tokenId since the qualification for owner-reserve NFTs is likely the first 100 NFTs that got randomized and not successful callers of randomize (since u might just sell but not sure so hopefully @ethandaya can clarify)
