How to Play & Shape the Living Map
WIF WORLDS is a persistent multiplayer onchain strategy civilization game. Every action permanently changes the shared 3D world on Robinhood Chain. Here is everything you need to master territorial expansion, architectural upgrades, and regional monuments.
Quick Start: Your First 5 Minutes
From connecting your wallet to founding your genesis settlement
Connect Wallet
Connect MetaMask, Rabby, or Coinbase Wallet. Validate network is set to Robinhood Chain (4663).
Acquire $WIF
Hold $WIF in your wallet. The official token address is 0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773.
Claim Territory
Pick any unclaimed neutral tile on the 3D map. Click Claim Tile (Cost: 6.25 $WIF).
Found Hamlet
Found your genesis settlement on your claimed tile (Cost: 25 $WIF). This unlocks +3 tile capacity!
3-Tier Civilization Progression
How every builder grows from a solitary hamlet into a regional network
Where Every Player Starts
Found your initial settlement on an eligible unclaimed tile. Erect timber cottages and light the central village hearth. This unlocks the ability to build specialized structures and establishes your base claim capacity.
The Expansion Phase
Claim nearby territory across varied terrain biomes (Forests, Hills, Rocky crags). Construct Frontier Outposts along your perimeter to unlock +2 tile capacity per outpost, or upgrade your Hamlet to a fortified Keep.
The Long-Term Realm Goal
Connect multiple settlements into a regional network. Upgrade to a Grand Sovereign Citadel (Lv. 3) and pool resources toward global monuments like Build the Beacon, unlocking new realm maps for all players.
The Anti-Whale Territory Formula
Mathematical bounds enforcing fair land distribution and strategic investment
Why This Rule Exists
In many Web3 games, wealthy accounts buy up the entire world map immediately, locking out subsequent players. In WIF WORLDS, you cannot hoard land by clicking a button repeatedly. You must build, upgrade, and space settlements to expand.
Settlement Spacing Constraint
Settlements cannot be founded directly adjacent to another settlement (minimum distance of 2 tiles). This creates natural organic kingdoms with meadows, forests, and rocky passes between towns.
In-Game Resource Economy: Wood, Stone & Food
Buildings generate strategic in-game construction materials over time — not redeemable crypto tokens
Produced by Lumber Camps
Felled timber used to construct Quarries, Farms, Frontier Outposts, Workshops, and Settlement Hall upgrades. Forests grant a +50% yield bonus (+45 Wood/hr vs +30/hr on Plains/Hills).
Produced by Quarries
Cut granite and obsidian blocks excavated from mountain crags and highlands. Essential for Artisan Workshops, Signal Beacons, and upgrading Settlements from Level 2 to Level 5.
Produced by Farms
Golden wheat harvested from irrigated Plains fields. Sustains logging crews in Lumber Camps, supports Signal Beacons, and fuels all 5 Settlement Level upgrades and expansion towns.
