Centuries-old megastructures, thousands years of Empire’s history, full of mysteries and secrets accessible only to a few: we, as devoted fans of Dune, Shadow of the Colossus and Dark Souls, create a world imbued with the magic of the unknown.

➤ Players set the world in perpetual motion
Complex political intrigues of Crusader Kings, Foxhole’s cooperation, and the social engineering of large MMO clans: the balance of power in Astea never remains static.

🏹 Combat system

Dolus an virtus quis in hoste requirat?

We care about our combat system a lot:

➤ We are developing a comprehensive system where attack and shot timings, dodges and spell combinations are important.

➤ Victory is often determined by the skill of the player, not their equipment. A skilled player defeats an inept one, no matter what weapon they have.

➤ Each type of weapon has its pros and cons: you need to carefully select an arsenal depending on your tactics.

We want to hear your ideas:

➤ Find interesting historical weapons or invent them.

➤ Come up with its tactical application, its pros and cons, and send it in the comments to this post.

➤ Remember, Tonarchy is archeofuturistic. These can be both combat scythes that hit through shields, but are weak against other armor, and magic blasters that transfer health from the target to the shooter, but that reduce shooter's speed.

➤ For each sensible offer — +40 $QUOT! For the image of a weapon, found or generated, another +30 $QUOT!

🕊 Diplomacy in Tonarchy

Sunt certi denique fines.

Diplomacy is an inseparable part of the gameplay.

➤ Without the ability to negotiate, compete and cooperate with other players, any attempt to survive in the Inner Worlds is doomed to failure.

➤ Guilds and Alliances seal complex diplomatic relations with tokens as collateral. Tokens of the party who violated the agreement is transferred to the victim.

➤ Thus, each player is always in a tightly intertwined tangle of the intense political life of Tonarchy.

We want to expand its functionality.

➤ Peace treaties, non-aggression pacts, declarations of war have already been implemented.

➤ Come up with or find different formats of diplomatic agreements in history. Figure out how the collateral in tokens works with such an agreement.

➤ Write your idea in the comments to your post. The task is difficult, so for each sensible offer — +100 $QUOT!

🏆 Tonarchy's sustainable tokenomics

Salus populi suprema lex esto.

➤ All $AQUA spent in game is sent to the weekly rewards pool.
$AQUA that players receive is not created out of nothing: these tokens were either spent or lost by other players.

➤ Players are rewarded by skill.
Players are constantly competing for control of bases in the Inner Worlds. 33% of the $AQUA from the pool is divided between the players in proportion to their time holding the bases.

➤ Marketing expenses are returned to the players.
33% of $AQUA goes to the prize fund of marketing events with other projects. Players of Tonarchy and other projects participate in Tonarchy events, earn $AQUA, and expand our player base.

➤ Staking $AQUA without inflation.
Staking does not create a new $AQUA. Rewards for $AQUA staking are paid from 23% of weekly awards.

➤ 11% of $AQUA is irrevocably burned.
Tokens are permanently withdrawn from circulation, increasing the value of $AQUA every week.

Thus, 100% $AQUA benefits players and the project.

🐋 Bonuses to TON Heroes holders

Qui non proficit, deficit.

What does each staked TON Hero give?

➤ $AQUA airdrop share.
Every day your share in the 70% $AQUA airdrop increases. The longer TON Hero is staked, the more $AQUA you will get.

💎 1 $AQUA = 1 $TON

Imperat aut servit collecta pecunia cuique.

Here's how we'll secure the $AQUA value:

➤ Each token is backed by real demand.
$AQUA is issued only at the time of its centralized purchase from the project for $TON. This makes the token not subject to uncontrolled emission and inflation.

➤ Gradual increase in cost.
To attract a web3 audience, at first $AQUA will be available at a discount, which will decrease over time until it reaches parity: 1 $AQUA = 1 $TON.

➤ The token is constantly burned.
Each token used in the game gets into the project's reward pool, 11% of which is burned weekly!
