Problem definition

A transaction-trust bottleneck caused by fragmented currency and shop rules.

View all bottlenecks

Design direction

Align the display of expiry, carryover, exchange, eligible shops, settlement results and pre-choice loss limits in currency details, preserving prices, probabilities, supply, rewards and free routes.

Rebuild and upgrade the Furnace city → gather resources and claim idle rewards → recruit and grow heroes and train troops → join an alliance for help, rallies, and territory → fight in State of Power and other alliance wars → reinvest rewards into the city and army.

REASONING IN THIS GAME

Selected designs and judgment conditions

Goals and residual processing

Initial IFR · goal direction

Make the connection from currency through rules and future value to actions and outcomes controllably readable while preserving existing structure and choice.

Final IFR · design goal

Make each currency’s current state, future value and use, hold, exchange and non-purchase outcomes readable through one rule grammar while preserving the segmented economy and freedom of choice.

Compounding Growth

Rebuild and upgrade the Furnace city → gather resources and claim idle rewards → recruit and grow heroes and train troops → join an alliance for help, rallies, and territory → fight in State of Power and other alliance wars → reinvest rewards into the city and army.

Outputs strengthen assets, capabilities, or access and open a stronger next cycle.
