Introduction
The gaming sector is becoming increasingly explosive and appealing as blockchain is applied to NFT games. The game is entertaining, but it also allows players to earn money. That’s how the Play-to-Earn (P2E) mechanism works. This mechanism is no longer odd to individuals who have been exposed to gaming technology because it appears to be rising in popularity. With the advantages and appeal of this mechanism, well-known game creators in gaming technology created “PlaceWar”, an equally appealing game. PlaceWar will be a game that fully exploits the P2E mechanism to give players the best experience. This is a game that investors should keep an eye on in the future.

Gameplay
Tank
There are five different types of tanks in PlaceWar, each with its own functions and specs. Players can devise their own winning methods for their teams.
– Medieval: Simple and clumsy
– Heavy Armor: The main pillar of each tank team
– Rocket Launcher: Attacks enemies from a location they can’t see
– Mech Tank: The most advanced and most destructive type of tank
– Amphibious: Agile and can be used in any terrain
Besides 5 types of tanks, each type will include 5 parameters so that players can decide to use tanks for each battle, and these parameters can also be improved through equipment usage.
– Turret: Damage that the tank can deal with each shot
– Barrel: Range that the tank can attack
– Engine: The distance the tank can travel in each round
– Armor: Tank’s Defense Stats
– Tracks: The ability to dodge or not take damage from an attack
In addition to buying tanks, players can also own tanks through crafting. The player can create 2 tanks and consume PLACE + GEAR + Blueprint. The new tank will be inherited from the original 2 tanks.
Game modes
The goal of PlaceWar is to destroy all of your opponent’s tanks in a turn-based offensive battle. Players must determine the angle of the shot and the force of the shot to be able to hit the opponent.
There are three game modes in all:
PVE skirmish: Players will confront bosses with a 3-tank formation. Each turn, the tanks will take turns attacking or moving. Players need to destroy all bosses and have at least one tank left to win.
PVP Battlefront: In a 3v3 combat, players are matched with another player at random and given the objective of destroying all of the opponent’s tanks to win. Two players will control the tanks during one turn, allowing them to move or strike the opponent. The damage each attack can deal is determined by the angle of the shot, the direction of the wind, the force of the shot, and the additional items.
Guild War: This is a 10v10 arena mode in which players select the most powerful and appropriate tank to assist nine teammates and defeat ten foes. The tanks will move positions or attack every turn. To begin, players must deposit some $GEAR or $PLACE (the player may withdraw prior to the start of the game if he no longer wishes to participate), and the winning team will be divided evenly in the total amount of $GEAR or $PLACE, as well as pay a small charge to PlaceDAO.
The player must first fill up a fuel tank to enter the battle, which can be replenished over time or expedited using $GEAR.
Pixel System
In PlaceWar, the player will be introduced to Placedonia, an area of land of 300×300 with units of Pixels. The Pixels will be a piece of land and be the player’s headquarters.
Players can construct headquarters, place Defenders to defend the land, assault drones and Pegatron, harvest treasures, extract resources, or even $PLACE on the Pixel, which is randomly generated.
In Placedonia, players can also invade other Pixels to rob them of the resources available there. The player will have to attack and destroy the Defenders set by Pixel owners to start. If it wins, the invader will loot untapped resources on the Pixel, but if it fails, the invader could lose NFT and $GEAR to the defender.
Defenders will play an important role in protecting player resources and are created through $PLACE, $GEAR, and good items need 2 Defenders samples to create new Defenders.
Marketplace
A place to supply items, tanks for starters. Here, players can buy packs that include tanks or items. It can also help players exchange and trade tanks and items with each other in the future.

Unique Selling Point (USP) of PlaceWar
Built on Metaverse
With the current position of the gaming field in the market, the number of games built on the P2E mechanism is truly innumerable. But PlaceWar is one of the successful titles with the difference that it is built on a Metaverse with the map as a collection of pixels. The player can develop his own base from owning a pixel. Coming to PlaceWar, players can have fun with the gameplay and unleash their creativity here.
Ownership
Unlike other games that still haven’t solved the transparency issue of property ownership, with PlaceWar, players will actually own the assets they have. They will control their assets by owning tokens or NFTs on the blockchain platform. PlaceWar allows players to buy, sell, or create products and can be traded on exchanges, thereby increasing their game assets.
