📌 Problem Statement

Problem Statement 2 - Unleash Blockchain gameplay with Monad

---

🎯 Objective

This project aims to deliver a strategic, AI-driven Web3 gaming experience that blends ancient Roman themes with on-chain asset ownership. By introducing intelligent, evolving gladiators and immersive PvP/PvE mechanics, it addresses the lack of depth and engagement in traditional blockchain games, serving both gamers and NFT collectors seeking meaningful, interactive gameplay.

🧠 Team & Approach

Team Members:

• Arnab Sengupta GitHub

Your Approach:

We chose this problem to bring depth and strategy to Web3 gaming through AI-driven characters and Roman mythology. Our goal was to move beyond static NFTs and create a living, evolving experience.

We tackled challenges like seamless onboarding, gasless NFT minting, and designing strategic combat mechanics. A key breakthrough was the “Favor of the Gods” system, which turned simple buffs into dynamic, divine interactions that influence battle outcomes.
