Land Merge

An (optional) event where multiple single Land NFTs can be fused into a bigger plot

The Merge is a major gameplay milestone that allows Architects to combine multiple Land plots into a single, more powerful unit: an Estate or a Province.

The Merge is a one-time event that will last ~2 weeks. Lands not merged during this period will not be able to merge in the future. They will remain as 1x1 lands and have their own role in later gameplay. Merging is irreversible.

What is Merging?

• You can merge 4 Lands to create an Estate.

• You can merge 9 Lands to create a Province.

• The merged unit becomes a single asset with unique benefits and boosted traits.

• Merged Lands are burned, and the outcome is minted as a new NFT asset.

• Estates and Provinces will be assigned a random Name upon minting.

The Benefits of (un)merged Lands

While Estates and Provinces will be important hubs in the extended gameplay, simple Lands will continue to play an essential role. All three types of Land will have their up- and downsides and cater to specific playstyles.
