**Attackers** are sleek and agile combat Mechs that deliver powerful melee attacks and deal high amounts of single-target damage. Their resistance value is extremely low, however, their high Damage output and Armor values more than makeup for it.
The **Ranger** Mechs are true killing machines. They are the largest Mechs, usually positioned in the back lines in order to best utilize their powerful long-range Cannon attacks that can deal a lot of area damage.
**Healers** are agile Mechs who specialize in Repairing and Healing allied mechs. They also use a wide variety of abilities to Disable Enemy Mechs and lower their stats.

# DAO
Through the use of the game’s Token $METI, Mech Titans will gradually evolve into a player-owned Decentralized Organization.
We intend to implement a DAO voting mechanism to establish control over 4 main categories of actions:
1. In game development features.\
This includes adding new functions as well as improving the already existing ones.
2. Play to earn rewards policy.\
These can be reviewed by the DAO during the game’s development. Such policies may include increasing or decreasing various rewards.
3. Staking/Farming rewards Policy.\
These policies would allow the DAO to reduce or extend the time of the Staking/Farming periods based on the available liquidities.
4. Blockchain protocols change. \
Under certain conditions and by majority vote, the DAO can suggest migrating the blockchain infrastructure to another chain.
# Tokenomics
# Technology
We opted to use **Ethereum and Polygon** bridge technology due to the number of developers building on the platform, the ability to recruit initial players as well as additional advantages such as its popularity and low fees.
The blockchain ecosystem is currently facing numerous problems such as slow transactions, low transaction throughput, and high fees. **Polygon (Matic) Network** is able to provide faster transactions and low fees by using an adapted version of the **Plasma framework.**
As for the low transaction throughput problem, it is solved by using a Block Producer layer to produce the blocks. Block Producers enable the system to produce blocks at a very fast rate and lower fees. The system ensures decentralization using PoS checkpoints which are pushed to the Ethereum mainchain thus enabling a large number of transactions on a single side chain.
Mech Titans will be using the well-known **ERC20** standard for the main $METI token (fungible token), in addition to the **ERC721** and **ERC1155** for the NFTs (non-fungible tokens): MECHs, PILOTs, LANDs, and other assets. By using these tokens, we guarantee the user ownership of their tokens and assets.
In order to take advantage of the already mentioned benefits such as faster transactions and low Polygon fees, a bridge is required to connect the Ethereum Mainnet and Polygon. This bridge is what will allow users to transfer(deposit/withdraw) tokens from the Mainnet to the Polygon network.
Mech Titans uses a Polygon marketplace and its single currency is the $METI which can be exported through the bridge and sold freely both on the Mainnet and as well as on Polygon.
Users who purchase or have already purchased $METI or NFT externally (via Uniswap, Opensea, etc.) will be required to deposit them through the bridge to be able to use them in the game.
It is entirely possible that some players do not own a wallet on the blockchain due to Mech Titans being a Free-2-Play game. In such cases, a special wallet will be generated and managed with all the necessary elements to ensure its presence on the blockchain. Players who wish to withdraw their assets can do so by requesting them directly. Once we have received their request, we will directly send them their assets.
The Unity engine will be used to develop the core parts of our game.
Unity is a powerful, fast, and flexible platform that enables rapid editing and iteration in development cycles, with real-time previews of the work.
Thanks to Unity, the content created, can easily be deployed to more than 20 different platforms, operating systems, and consoles as well as AR and VR platforms.
Unity Engine is a complete suite of development tools for anyone working with real-time technology. It provides creators across multiple industries the freedom and control required to deliver cutting-edge entertainment, compelling visualizations, and immersive virtual worlds.
Unity Industrial Collection works with 3D, CAD, and car design software, and enables real-time product visualization. Using AR in automotive and product design provides the global teams with an immersive experience and helps avoid the common delays of the traditional 3D automotive rendering software.
# Growth Model
Mech Titans aims to acquire users by utilizing different marketing strategies:
**KOL (Key Opinion Leaders) marketing**
We aim to partner up with KOL with massive followings as well as other high-profile influencers within the Crypto and Gaming space.
**SEM and Paid Ads**
We will run targeted ads on social media to attract new users and sell our NFTs. Our aim is to attract as many new users as possible from Twitter and other social media platforms.
**Airdrops**
Social Airdrop campaigns will be launched in order to incentivize our community at the start of the project.
**Press releases**
We are working with a media agency and will distribute our press releases through the most prominent targeted media.
**Community & Referrals**
Mech Titans is a community-centered game, and as such, its growth lever will be the virality generated by early adopters. We aim to encourage virality by offering Tokens to users who refer the game to new players.
