*** In ancient lore, whispers persist of Drasil Saplings as the wellspring of our world's magic. These mystic miniature trees draw great power and mighty forces near, believed to be born from celestial lights resembling falling meteors. Our tale unfolds in Glasmire, a world teeming with humans, monsters, demons, demi-gods, and gods. The formidable House Valthur governs the mightiest human faction, enlisting elite mercenaries to secure control of the Drasil Saplings from malevolent threats. At the heart of the conflict stands Skali, once a human mage-warrior, now corrupted by the saplings' magic. She commands an unholy army, defying the Royal Family's benevolent magic-sharing doctrine. Skali's quest for absolute power is our greatest peril. Your initial challenge: confront the Jotnars, giant demons resurrected by Skali guarding the Drasil Saplings in the dark forests. As a Royal Family-hired mercenary, your mission is clear – vanquish these demonic sentinels, bring back their heads as proof and protect our world's future. *** # Team-based Deathmatch Mode (Alpha Release) ***
*** As we eagerly anticipate the launch of our flagship game mode, we're thrilled to introduce an exciting interim gameplay experience: team-based deathmatch mode. The Objective is to achieve the highest number of team kills within a specified time frame. It's all about teamwork, strategy, and your warrior's combat prowess. The more foes you vanquish as a team, the closer you get to victory. Kindly refer to the "Combat Mechanics" section for a more detailed exploration of the gameplay experience! *** # Mercenaries - Flagship Game Mode (Upcoming Release) ***
*** Meta Lordz’ upcoming flagship game mode has a unique twist to the typical battle experience. As you and your team venture into the map, you will come across formidable demons as well as an opposing team. This makes it a true PvPvE (Player vs. Player vs. Environment) showdown. The game starts with intense battles against tough demons guarding important Drasil Saplings. But things get even more exciting when you defeat the main demon. It drops its severed head, which your team must then grab and safely carry back to your base. This mix of fighting tough demons, battling other players, and capturing the severed head adds an exciting layer of strategy and action to Meta Lordz. It's all about teamwork and skill as you strive for victory in this thrilling game mode. \ **Coming later in Q4! Stay tuned.** *** # The Warriors *** **Meet the warriors of Meta Lordz, each with their unique lore and attributes.** ## **Eirik The Windwarden**

Players move their warriors by left-clicking and execute basic attacks with a right-click.

Warriors have access to a total of 5 active abilities, divided into two categories: *** ## **Normal Abilities** * **First Ability (Nuke):** A spammable nuke, allowing warriors to deal damage quickly. * **Second Ability (Mobility):** A mobility spell that provides strategic movement options. * **Third Ability (Utility):** A utility spell tailored to each warrior's unique characteristics. *** ## **Rage Abilities** * **Fourth Ability (Special):** A special ability that requires rage to use, akin to an ultimate charge. * **Fifth Ability (Ultimate):** The ultimate ability, requiring three times the amount of rage compared to the fourth ability. *** ## **Rage Mechanic** Rage is accumulated by dealing damage to enemies and securing kills. This resource is essential for unlocking the most powerful abilities in a warrior's arsenal, emphasizing the importance of tactical combat and teamwork. *** ## In-Match Potions Potions are consumable items that provide distinct advantages when used, enriching gameplay dynamics and strategy. In Deathmatch mode, all players receive potions at set intervals for a fair and engaging experience. In Mercenaries mode, players can acquire potions by defeating enemy demons and monsters, rewarding combat skill and encouraging engagement with adversaries. *** ## **Account Rating System** * We have implemented an industry-standard rating system designed to enhance the competitive experience for players. * This system allows players to undergo calibration, resulting in their placement within one of five prestigious leagues. * It helps players gauge their progress but also fosters a sense of achievement and competitiveness, making our game an exciting and dynamic experience for all who enter the arena. 1. **Unranked League** 2. **Bronze League** 3. **Silver League** 4. **Gold League** 5. **Platinum League** 6. **Diamond League** *** # True Asset Ownership with Web 3.0 ***

The USDT token serves as the base currency for all in-game transactions and interactions. *** ## The Role of USDT Tokens: * **Warrior Ownership:** You can use USDT tokens to acquire your very own warriors * **Customization:** Personalize your warriors with a wide range of skins and cosmetics, each with its own unique rarity. * **Battle Pass:** Unlock exclusive content, quests and challenges. * **Stat Etching:** Grow and personalize your warriors and items with gems, purchased using USDT tokens, to etch your statistics and make your mark in the game. *** ## Secondary Transactions: Peer-to-Peer Interaction: USDT tokens also form the foundation for secondary transactions, allowing you to engage in peer-to-peer exchanges within the game's ecosystem. This flexibility enables a vibrant marketplace where you can trade and interact with other players directly. *** ## The Future of Our Native Token: It's important to note that the base currency (USDT token), currently native to the Polygon & Aurora blockchains during our Alpha phase, may change in the future.
