Collect, pledge, evolve, and battle. A game for card collectors.
Final Form is the first game developed by Ex Populus to be deployed on the Xai blockchain and published by the Xai Foundation. In Final Form, players will frequently form different battle decks based on the cards they own to engage in automatic battles with other players. These battles are combined with the game mechanics of Rogue-Lite. Players will use free limited edition cards, Reaver cards, mutations, and relics to build increasingly powerful battle decks. The best players will gain the upper hand in auto-battles and receive rewards that will accelerate their limited edition cards from common to legendary rarity, and as players "burn" cards in order to evolve, the cards' The total supply will gradually decrease.
As the supply of cards decreases and rarity increases, card collectors and traders will find that their cards become more important and popular. The cards are produced in collaboration with famous artists, celebrities and athletes, including Oscar-nominated Calabash, former world heavyweight champion Tyson and more (with more partners to come). Those collectors with legendary cards will join the Vanguard League and be eligible for special rewards. Note: Rogue-Lite games incorporate the core mechanics of a roguelike (such as random generation and death penalties), but are generally more forgiving, allowing players to maintain some progress despite failure.
The Ex Populus Trading Card System (XPTCS) is an open card system that uses metadata standards to encourage multiple game developers to create a variety of cards. This is similar to Steam's trading card system, which allows players to collect, exchange and sell cards to increase the richness and interactivity of the gaming experience.
Rarity classification
There are 4 rarity levels: Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary.
Combat rating
The card's combat effectiveness indicator. When these cards are used in the game, their health points, attack points and other attributes are set based on this combat power, so the higher the value, the more advantageous it is.
Skill attributes
Each card has 1 to 3 (over 30 in total) special skills. In the data, the names of these skills will be listed. They are mainly used in the game to attack enemies or protect companions.
life characteristics
Each card will use an adjective (there are 5 adjectives in total) to describe its attack ability level. These descriptions can be combined with combat ratings to set attack points or similar metrics.
Attack Traits
Each card will use an adjective (there are 5 adjectives in total) to describe its attack ability level. These descriptions can be combined with combat ratings to set attack points or similar metrics.
sect
Each XP trading card belongs to one of the four factions. You can think of them like the suits in a playing card. The four major sects are: humans, machines, beasts and gods.
card name
Each set of cards has a name. For example, "Iron Pigeons" is the name of a set of cards. Please note that different card series are completely compatible with each other.
card serial number
DAGs is a set of cards and the first series in the Ex Populus trading card system, so it is called Set 1. "Iron Pigeons" is the second set of cards (Set 2). The serial numbers of subsequent card series will increase sequentially.
Version number
Since the game encourages players to "burn cards" to evolve, Ex Populus' supply of trading cards could quickly decline. At that time, we may add more cards to replenish the supply. New card versions will be second, third, fourth, and so on. As time goes on, first edition cards will become increasingly rare, so for collectors, first edition cards are worth keeping an eye on.
supply cap
Each set of cards has a "maximum number of existing cards". This means that the current circulation of a certain set of cards will never exceed the number below. But considering that cards will be burned and new second and third editions may be minted, this upper limit does not include cards that were burned before.
The maximum number of existing cards in each set:
Players can only obtain limited cards of common rarity by participating in a small number of online activities or receiving special rewards in the game. Players can only obtain rare, epic and legendary limited-edition cards through card evolution in the game or by trading with other players. For each set of limited cards and their versions, the following are the supply caps: Common Limited: 100,000 Rare Limited: 20,000 Epic Limited: 4,000 Legendary Limited): 1,250. This means that for any limited set of cards, the number will never exceed the above limit. Therefore, legendary cards are extremely rare.
System flexibility and scalability
Ex Populus developed the trading card system with scalability in mind. Based on market demand and player participation, Ex Populus will decide whether to replenish new cards after a large number of cards are burned (but not exceed the supply limit), or whether to create new sets of cards to increase the supply. This not only ensures scalability, but also ensures the balance of the game.

Final Form的机制可能会改变
Final Form is a game that is currently under active development and subject to strict regulatory and compliance review. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that any information you encounter regarding the Final Form is subject to change. While we strive to provide you with the most up-to-date details, it is also important to recognize the dynamic and ever-changing nature of this project.
Final Form正在开发手机版本吗？
Ex Populus is a studio specializing in creating unparalleled immersive experiences for PC and consoles, especially suited for the big screen. If the game gains significant popularity, we may explore potential collaborations with third-party studios to port the game to mobile devices.
Final Form会有网页版本吗？
Our long-term goal is to enable Final Form to run in web browsers, but currently we are encountering some difficulties. Because this game has high requirements on hardware resources, it is not suitable to use webGL for development. We considered other options such as Furioos but found the cost to be prohibitive. Nonetheless, our team is very excited about the prospects of webGPU technology and look forward to testing this technology as soon as Unity integrates it.
Will Final Form support XR headsets like the Quest or Vision Pro?
The development team is excited about expanding the game to platforms like Quest and Vision Pro. However, the decision was made to prioritize this task after achieving success on the PC and Mac platforms.
Why can’t I transfer in-game Chromos tokens?
Currently, Chromos tokens are non-transferable as the game has not yet been fully released. However, once the game is fully released, the Xai Foundation and/or the Vanguard League may decide to opt-in to enable token transfers, making Chromos tokens transferable.
Xai代币和Chromos代币之间的关系是什么？
Xai tokens play a variety of key roles in the Xai ecosystem. First, it serves as the gas token on the Xai blockchain, just as ETH is the gas token on the Ethereum blockchain. Additionally, Xai tokens play a vital role in rewarding validators for their contributions. Furthermore, it occupies a central position in the entire Xai ecosystem and can be used as an in-game currency for various in-game purchases. In the Xai ecosystem, the role and importance of Xai tokens can be compared to Gala or IMX. Chromos tokens are the fuel for card evolution in the Final Form game and serve a clear purpose. The utility of Chromos tokens is solely aimed at enhancing the gameplay experience in Final Form, and there are no plans to expand beyond this specific game. Chromos is a core component of Final Form, ensuring its critical functionality and processes. Chromos is comparable to AXS in its specific features and usefulness.
为什么Final Form要离开Solana并迁移到Xai？
Ex Populus has extensive experience in developing blockchain games, and key team members have been skilled in writing smart contracts in various environments since 2017. During this time, our team has successfully deployed custom smart contracts on Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Solana, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum. Every blockchain network has its own strengths and weaknesses, and we firmly believe that each chain and its respective ecosystem has great potential for the future. Speaking of which, our development team is impressed by Arbitrum’s advancements in scalability and stability, viewing it as the leading blockchain technology in the industry. In order to provide a superior player experience, Ex Populus has decided to partner with the Xai Foundation to deploy our project on Xai, the newest member of the Arbitrum ecosystem. By leveraging Arbitrum's advanced infrastructure, we are confident in providing players with an unparalleled gaming experience. We are excited about the prospects of this collaboration and are committed to contributing to the success of the Xai ecosystem.
Why is Final Form not deployed on multiple chains?
The Final Form team firmly believes that achieving widespread adoption of web3 technologies such as the Xai blockchain requires abstracting complex web3 interactions (including wallet connections and proof of stake) from the player experience. The goal is to simplify the onboarding process for millions of new users. Therefore, if the game is deployed on multiple blockchains, the choice of blockchain will be made arbitrarily by Final Form staff. Looking to the future of the industry, such decisions will be as irrelevant as allowing traditional gamers to choose between Amazon or Google Cloud to host their gaming sessions. In fact, players value a superior experience more than the technical details behind it. Based on this view, Final Form does not intend to pursue a multi-chain strategy. Instead, the team is committed to leveraging state-of-the-art blockchain technology to provide players with the best behind-the-scenes experience.
