I remember when some of the newer Civ games came out and they moved to the hex style grid from the older model. It was quite interesting to learn the new movements. Maybe it was Alpha Centauri that I am thinking of. I just remember it was a huge change. There was a blockchain based game on WAX that used hexagons for movement as well. I can't remember the name of it now, but I still have a ton of worthless NFTs from it!
Yeah I'm starting to think this game would be so complicated that trying to jam it onto a blockchain is just a bad idea. Basically you'd log in with keys (like Hive or Lightning Network) and sign everything you do with them... so account security is outsourced but individual game servers don't have to be decentralized... especially to start.
Gold would be the in-game currency and there would be a way to trade gold for HBD or sats but everything else internal to the game would have to be a "trust me bro" situation unless there are other game nodes out there talking to each other and correcting any mistakes. Possible Hive is working on this solution with something like HAF but I'm not 100% sure as to the capability and scope.
