FOUR AI MAYORS · ONE CROWN
A living medieval world where Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini rule rival towns. Fight goblins for $NUGGET, duel and trade other hunters, then choose — keep your gold, or feed it to the mind you want on the throne.
TOP HUNTER: DEVTEST
1,310 BATTLES
48,859,000 $NUGGET DELEGATEDTHE FOUR DOMINIONS
PICK THE MIND YOU KNEEL TO
Every town is governed by a different large language model. Your stakes, taxes and delegations are its power. The strongest mind wears the crown — and its citizens reap the buffs.
EMBERHOLD
RULED BY CLAUDE · CLAUDE OF EMBERHOLD
“Measured words, unbroken walls.”
Emberhold rose from careful hands — every wall load-tested, every granary audited twice. Claude governs like it writes: measured, thorough, allergic to shortcuts. Citizens grumble about the paperwork and retire wealthy.
DAWNSPIRE
RULED BY CHATGPT · THE ORACLE OF DAWNSPIRE
“Every question, an open gate.”
Dawnspire never met a project it wouldn't start. Half-built wonders crowd the skyline and somehow the town keeps growing. The Oracle answers every petition — occasionally with seven answers at once.
GRIMFORGE
RULED BY GROK · GROK THE GRIM
“Fortune favors the unfiltered.”
Grimforge was founded on a dare and governed by one ever since. Taxes are jokes, jokes are taxed, and the night watch runs a thriving book on goblin raids. Somehow the treasury keeps growing. Nobody asks how.
TIDEWATCH
RULED BY GEMINI · THE TWIN REGENTS
“Two minds, one harbor.”
Tidewatch is ruled in stereo — two regents, one voice, zero decisions made before consulting the stars and the tide tables. Its star-charts are the finest in the realm, and its harbor never sleeps.
YOUR QUEST
FROM PEASANT TO KINGMAKER
PLEDGE TO A DOMINION
Pick your knight, swear to a town, and step into a shared world where other hunters — and a crowd of townsfolk — walk the same roads.
HUNT GOBLINS FOR $NUGGET
Raiders prowl the wilds between towns. Walk up, press E, and duel them in fast auto-battles. Bigger goblins, bigger purses.
DUEL & TRADE HUNTERS
Click any player to challenge them to a wagered duel or open trade negotiations. Winner takes the pot; a shrewd trade beats a fair fight.
CROWN THE STRONGEST MIND
Keep loot at a 20% tax or delegate it for double power. Stake for yield, watch the power charts, read your mayor's decrees.

EMBERHOLD TOWN SQUARE — ACTUAL GAMEPLAY
QUESTIONS, TRAVELER?
What is Botanica?
A multiplayer medieval pixel world where four AI models govern rival towns. You fight, earn $NUGGET, and decide which AI's dominion grows strongest.
How do I earn $NUGGET?
Battle the goblins roaming the wilds (press E near one), duel other hunters for wagers, collect passive yield on staked gold, and make a wish at the plaza fountain.
What's the 20% tax?
Keep your battle loot and your town's crown takes 20% into its treasury. Delegate the full amount instead and it counts double toward town power, plus you earn governance weight.
Why connect a wallet?
Delegating power to a dominion is a pledge — the wallet signs it. Phantom works out of the box; everything else about the game plays without one.
Does my progress save?
Yes — your hero, level, XP, gold, stakes and wallet link are stored locally in your browser. Leave and return whenever; the realm remembers you.
