HOW TO PLAY WORLDWAR.LOL?
POINT BY POINT GUIDE
DECENTRALIZED ECONOMIC WARFARE
WorldWar.lol is a decentralized economic warfare game where countries battle each other in timed cycles. Players buy country tokens, stake them in battles, and compete for real rewards. Winners take everything, losers lose it all.
Bet on which countries will win or lose battles
Deploy tokens to attack or defend countries
Claim loot from losers and treasury prizes
🎯 Getting Started
1. Buy Country Tokens: Purchase on bonding curve (prices increase with demand)
2. Plan Your Strategy: Choose which countries to attack and defend
3. Stake Your Tokens: Split 50/50 between attack and defend pools
4. Stake Early: Get higher reward weight for better payouts
⚔️ During Battle
Live Competition: Many players stake across different countries simultaneously
Winning Calculation: Total tokens × weight × current prices = battle value
Panic Unstaking: Early withdrawals incur penalties (0% to 90% based on timing)
Penalty Boost: All penalty fees go to winning pools (increases rewards)
🏁 Battle Resolution
Winner Decided: Higher total value wins (e.g., if USA attack > USA defend, attack wins)
Loser Liquidation: Losing side tokens sold on bonding curve → Proceeds Pool
Winner Rewards: Proceeds Pool + Treasury Pool (50%) + Penalty Pool
Complete Loss: Losers lose everything staked on losing side
🏛️ COUNTRY NFTS
Each country is represented by an NFT token that you can buy/sell
⏰ BATTLE CYCLES
Countries fight each other in timed cycles (10 minutes to 30 days)
⚔️ STAKING STRATEGY
You stake your country tokens to either attack or defend other countries
How Token Pricing Works
Each country token uses a bonding curve - prices increase exponentially as more tokens are bought
📊 Pricing Formula
Base Price: 100 $WAR per token
Price Increase: 0.05% per token sold
Formula: Price = 100 × (1.0005^supply)
💰 Example Price Progression
🎯 Early Advantage
Early buyers get tokens at lower prices. The first tokens are much cheaper than later ones.
📈 Supply & Demand
More demand = higher prices. Popular countries become more expensive to buy into.
⚖️ Fair Distribution
Everyone pays the same price for the same token number. No front-running or unfair advantages.
💸 Dynamic Fee Structure
Fee Components:
- • Dynamic Fee: 0.5% - 10% (based on country's market share)
- • Dev Fee: 2.5% (fixed)
- • Referral Reward: 0.5% (if you have a referrer)
- • Head Fee: 1% (goes to Country Head NFT holder)
Market Share Impact:
- • Low Market Share: 0.5% dynamic fee
- • Medium Market Share: 2-5% dynamic fee
- • High Market Share: 5-10% dynamic fee
- • Popular Countries: Higher fees due to demand
💡 Total Fee Example: For a popular country with 5% dynamic fee, total fees could be 9% (5% + 2.5% + 0.5% + 1%)
💡 Strategic Implications
Buying Strategy:
- • Buy early for better prices
- • Popular countries cost more
- • Consider treasury size vs price
- • Factor in dynamic fees (0.5% - 10%)
Battle Impact:
- • Higher prices = more valuable stakes
- • Price changes affect battle calculations
- • Market sentiment drives prices
- • Popular countries have higher fees
Buy Your "Army" (Country Tokens)
Purchase country NFTs using $WAR tokens. These are your "soldiers" that you'll send into battle. Token prices increase as more people buy (like a stock).
Example: You buy 5 USA tokens for 1000 $WAR
Deploy Your Strategy (Staking)
For each stake, you choose which country's tokens to use, which country to attack, and which country to defend. You must stake an even amount (split 50/50 between attack and defend pools).
⚔️ Attack Country
Which country you want to lose
🛡️ Defend Country
Which country you want to win
Wait for Battle Results
The battle ends when the cycle timer runs out. The side with higher total value wins. Winners get all the loot, losers lose everything they staked.
Key: Side with higher total value (tokens × current prices) wins

🤔 How do I know which country will win?
You don't! This is a prediction game, but it's also a coordination game. You can join communities, form alliances with like-minded players, and coordinate your staking strategies as a group. Analyze factors like treasury size, current prices, and community sentiment to make educated guesses. The side with higher total value wins - so coordination and collective action matter!
💰 What happens if I lose?
You lose everything you staked on the losing side. Your tokens are liquidated and distributed to the winners. This is high-stakes gaming - only stake what you can afford to lose.
⏰ Can I unstake early?
Yes, but with heavy penalties. Early unstaking incurs penalties from 0% to 90% depending on how late in the cycle you unstake. Only do this if you're desperate.
🎯 What's the best strategy?
There's no guaranteed strategy. Common approaches include: diversifying across countries, staking early for better weights, targeting countries with large treasuries, and having a clear, consistent strategy.
📈 How do token prices change?
Prices follow a bonding curve - they increase as more tokens are bought. Winning countries typically see price increases, while losing countries see decreases. Popular countries become more expensive over time.
💸 What are the fees?
There are multiple fees: dynamic fees (0.5%-10% based on market share), dev fees (2.5%), referral rewards (0.5% if applicable), and head fees (1% to Country Head NFT holders). Total fees can reach 9%+ for popular countries.

Players are responsible for staying updated with the latest rules and mechanics. Always verify current parameters before participating in any game activities. Past performance and rules do not guarantee future mechanics.
⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE: This is high-stakes gaming. Winners take all, losers lose everything. Only stake what you can afford to lose. All risks are yours to bear.
