Monkey Empire is a **free MMO-RTS** (Massively Multiplayer Online Real Time **Strategy**) video game like **Clash of Clans** and **Rise of Kingdoms** powered on Arbitrum.

Build your village, train troops and **loot** your opponent's **crypto**.

The player, has to manage **monkeys** to build an Empire. To do so, he will have to **collect resources**, **build** up **a city**, make t**echnological progress**, raise an **army** and **attack** other cities to **loot** their resources and become the ape world king.&#x20;

One resource, the **MonkeyCoin**, is a **cryptocurrency.**&#x20;

Your mission if you accept it will be to **attack** the **other players** in order to **loot** as much as possible to **become richer**.

Monkey Empire is built with **Unreal Engine 5**. It is one of the very few **Blockchain powered games** that uses real **AAA industry** standards with a **complex game economy** that puts the **token at the center**.&#x20;

#### OH AND THERE IS MORE!

**Technological progress** is possible through **BluePrints (BPs)**.&#x20;

**BPs** are ingame items generated by the **Research Center** in the form of **NFTs** (Non- Fungible Tokens), meaning you can either keep it for yourself and **learn a new technology** if you find it useful, or **exchange/sell** it for anythin&#x67;**.** A technology may be a **special weapon** for specific soldiers, an ability to spy an enemy, incendiary munitions and much more!
