CITADEL EXORDIUM
PROPAGANDA 003
EXORDIUM
CITADEL is a post-human war game built on the Ethereum blockchain. The CITADEL EXORDIUM is the preamble to the full game of CITADEL.
During the EXORDIUM, the in-game token DRAKMA will be freely distributed to all GEN0 CITADEL owners. Each CITADEL will be able to choose their faction on-chain and contribute research towards the CITADEL tech tree. The CITADEL EXORDIUM will last approximately 150 days.
DRAKMA
The in-game currency for the game of CITADEL is DRAKMA. DRAKMA has a total circulation of 10 billion. The EXORDIUM will distribute 2.4 billion DRAKMA on-chain to each CITADEL owner according to the CITADEL SEKT.
RELIK
16X multiplier, 64,000Ð / day, 9.6M Ð / RELIK
DROTH XYL
8X multiplier, 32,000Ð / day, 4.8M Ð / DROTH XYL
IONSLAUGHT
4X multiplier, 16,000Ð / day, 2.4M Ð / IONSLAUGHT
ELEKT
2X multiplier, 8,000 Ð / day, 1.2M Ð / ELEKT100 million in DRAKMA will be distributed to the faction first to complete the CITADEL tech tree.
ACE / PILOT
On the 64th day of the EXORDIUM, 400M Ð will be distributed to the ACE and PILOT roles. The ACE role has been granted to community members whom went above and beyond helping the team launch CITADEL. There are 49 ACE roles in our community. Each ACE will receive 2.5M Ð if they are a verified CITADEL owner. Some ACE holders will receive additional DRAKMA based on their contribution.
The PILOT role is reserved for owners of 5 or more CITADEL. There are 18 current PILOT and each will receive 1M Ð per CITADEL owned. The ACE and PILOT roles are cumulative.
Tech Tree
During the 150 day EXORDIUM, the CITADEL tech tree will be discovered by each faction. The CITADEL tech tree will provide asynchronous advantages to each faction and CITADEL throughout the game. The EXORDIUM will allow CITADEL, RELIK, and factions to unlock the 8 branches of the tech tree, discovering technology that will greatly contribute to their faction's power and prosperity.
At the start of the EXORDIUM, a CITADEL will choose to stake to a faction and tech tree branch. Each CITADEL will earn the same amount of research points as they earn DRAKMA. That is to say, the SEKT multiplier applies both to prelude DRAKMA and research points.
Each CITADEL will be randomly assigned a tech prop during our next reveal. A minimum of 4 RELIK per tech property will be accommodated in the random distribution. A CITADEL researching the tech it is assigned will receive a 2X research multiple. A tech branch can only be unlocked for a faction when a RELIK of the same tech property is staked to that tech.
Below are the 8 CITADEL tech branches launching with our next reveal. Beneath each tech branch are the technologies available to unlock. Discovery of each tech is linear, meaning, tech cannot be skipped.
