+# Network States (Lite)
+
+Network States is an upcoming on-chain strategy game, employing the MUD v2 engine. This lite version is released as a MUD v2 reference for the ETHGlobal Autonomous World hackathon.
+
+In this lite version:
+
+- You spawn your capital pseudorandomly on an infinite grid
+- Your capital is given +1 troop every 2 blocks (lazy loading)
+- Every 50 blocks, every square you own gives you +1 troop
+- Can make one move (move troops one adjacent tile) per block
+- If you take over someone's capital, you control all their land
+
+See networkstat.es for game info.
