  • Buildings

    • On each land plot you can construct one building
    • All buildings will have storage
    • One of the types of buildings you will be able to build is an arena
    • If you build an arena - that's where the ranked battles will take place and you will earn reward shares

  • Production

    • You will need to put the monster and summoner cards to work on the land
    • Up to 5 cards per plot (subject to change)
    • Encourage the combining of cards
    • The older cards will be valuable to use on land
    • The newer cards will be valuable at higher levels too
    • You will need to stake DEC in order for your cards to come to life to work on the land
    • The DEC will come from burning SPS

  • Items and spell cards

    • Still quite a while away
    • The product that your business will make from your land production
    • Most people don't have land and will need these cards

  • Land will also open up prefix name titles

    • You can earn titles through differnt goals and objectives

  • Eventually there will be a competition between the territories to unlock the secret of Praetoria

    • When it is completed there will be an airdrop

  • There will be leaderboards for land

  • Castles and Keeps

    • Can have sub buildings that can be upgraded

    • Magical

    • Occupied Essences

    • There will also be Refined resources

It all sounds good other than lands using only '5' monsters each.
That number to me doesn't sound future-proof, at all.
I suggest 999999999 with diminishing returns.

They also said that the higher the lvl of the monster the more beneficial it will be.
So you will most probably need lvl 10 commons, which are 400 cards x 5 monster = 2000 cards.
Yaba said in the town hall that there are not enough cards to make every land perfect.

2000 commons as an upper bound is nothing. There's like 8 million of each of the recent reward commons, 125k of their gold foils, millions of each rare, etc. and that's before even considering other sets like CL/RW or the hundreds of millions of other cards that will inevitably be printed in the future. Having only 5 slots per land would be completely absurd. I need a reason to buy another 500k cards, not a reason to start dumping them.

I truly don't understand why they decided it was best to subdivide a Hexagonal shape with Rectangles. Triangles or smaller Hexagons seems more logical to me.
