README
Welcome to Ember Raids, a tactical survival game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Deploy on high-risk missions, manage your equipment, and compete against other players for valuable resources.
What is Ember Raids?
Ember Raids is a strategic mission-based game where you:
Deploy on timed missions with varying difficulty levels
Manage your health, equipment durability, and resources
Compete in PvP encounters against real players
Earn Scrap (common currency) and EMBER tokens (premium currency)
Level up through experience and unlock harder missions
Game Features
Mission System: Choose from three mission tiers with different time requirements, rewards, and risk levels. Cinders (Tier 1) is available to all players. Ash Wastes (Tier 2) unlocks at Level 10. Smolder Rift (Tier 3) unlocks at Level 18.
Equipment Management: Craft, upgrade, and maintain weapons and armor. All gear degrades with use and requires repair. Items at 0 durability are unusable but can be repaired at the Forge Bay.
PvP Combat: Face random encounters with other players on missions. Victory grants bonus rewards; defeat means total loss.
Progression: Gain experience to level up. Higher levels unlock better rewards and more challenging content.
Economy: Dual currency system with Scrap for crafting and repairs, and EMBER tokens as premium rewards.
Getting Started
New players receive starting Scrap to craft their first equipment. Visit the Forge Bay to create basic gear, then head to the Mission Gate to deploy your first mission.
Tutorial protection for Levels 1-5 helps you learn the mechanics without risking equipment damage or death penalties. As you level up, harder missions become available: Ash Wastes at Level 10, and Smolder Rift at Level 18.
Available Content
All mission tiers are visible at the Mission Gate, but level requirements apply:
Cinders (Tier 1): Available to all players
Ash Wastes (Tier 2): Unlocks at Level 10
Smolder Rift (Tier 3): Unlocks at Level 18
