Stratagems is an innovative, on-chain strategy game where players act as gods, shaping a dynamic world island by island. The game world is a vast sea dotted with islands, each created and controlled by the players themselves. As gods, players deposit Ethereum to form new lands, choose the ruling factions, and watch as neighboring factions battle it out. The outcome of these conflicts determines who gains control of the Ethereum staked on losing islands, adding a layer of competitive strategy to the world-building.
