The high seas are calling! Captain & Company has just launched an epic new event—Battle for the Abstract Seas—bringing together players, guilds, and creators in a week-long fight for territory, loot, and prestige. Whether you’re a PvP warrior, a strategist, or a logistics mastermind, this event offers a spot for everyone on deck.
Let’s dive into what makes this latest Captain & Company tournament a standout in the world of blockchain games.
What Is Battle for the Abstract Seas?
Battle for the Abstract Seas is the newest event from Captain & Company, created in partnership with Abstract to mark the official launch of the Pillage Wars game mode. The event kicked off on Monday, July 28, and runs for one week. It challenges players to team up into guilds, capture control zones across the map, and earn a share of an ever-growing prize pool called the Warchest.
The twist? Every new player who joins increases the Warchest, which has already exceeded $32,000. It’s a collaborative competition where action fuels opportunity.
What Is Pillage Wars?
Pillage Wars is a new game mode that introduces faction-based naval combat, complete with control points and strategic objectives. Players board ships, form crews, and enter combat zones where they capture towers and loot valuable resources.
Victory in Pillage Wars is determined by controlling 51% of the sea map. When a faction wins a round, they boost their guild’s leaderboard position and move closer to earning rare cosmetics—like the exclusive Abstract Captain’s Wheel, only available through this event.
How to Join the Battle
Getting started is as easy as heading over to kap.gg/profile. You can create a guild or join an existing one, pick your captain, gather your crew, and jump into Pillage Wars.
Your mission:
Capture towers
Loot doubloons
Craft with resources
Fight rival crews
Whether you’re playing through browser or on Windows, Mac, or Android, the action is seamless and fully cross-platform.
Not Just Combat: Support Roles Matter Too
If PvP isn’t your thing, Captain & Company has you covered. The Pillage Wars update introduces key support roles that let you contribute without firing a cannon.
Banker: Bribe militias or bet on battles to shift the tide in your faction’s favor.
Port Manager: Use Land Crystals to craft and send idle ships on trade missions.
Logistics Leader: Help move goods and resources that support your team’s progress.
These roles highlight the game's commitment to making blockchain games inclusive for every playstyle.
The Warchest and Pirate Pass System
At the heart of the event is the Warchest, a community-fueled reward pool. The more players engage, the bigger it gets. To participate in the rewards system, you’ll need a Pirate Pass, priced at around $5 in-game.
Here's how it works:
Earn doubloons through gameplay and tower captures.
1 doubloon = 1 mXP, a currency used to calculate your reward share.
Players can claim mXP anytime and exchange it for $CNC tokens, NFT cosmetics, Land Crystals, and more.
And no, it’s not winner-takes-all. Every player who earns doubloons qualifies for a slice of the Warchest.
Gameplay Loop and Crafting Mechanics
Want to understand the gameplay loop? Here’s how players rise from raft to riches:
Start on a raft or join a captain’s crew.
Gather ore, lumber, fish, and cloth via looting and fishing.
Craft new ships using a Shipwright’s Writ (about $15).
Capture control towers to earn doubloons.
Claim rewards from your kap.gg profile whenever you're ready.
Whether you're a solo explorer or part of a well-oiled guild machine, there's always progress to be made.
Meet the Featured Guilds and Creators
The community isn’t just watching—it’s diving in headfirst. Influential creators like Daila, Rubiks, Rain, Woo, Cure, and Wiggles are actively participating. Some are part of well-known groups like KTA Guild, recruiting skilled players to conquer the seas.
The top-performing guild won’t just claim massive prizes—they’ll also be immortalized in-game as the Pirate Lords of the Abstract Seas.
What Sets Captain & Company Apart?
Unlike many blockchain games that require complex wallets or high startup costs, Captain & Company is browser-based, free-to-play, and offers cross-platform support. Players can join with zero downloads and start battling or trading right away.
There are two main game types:
Pillage War (team-based, strategic combat)
Deathmatch (free-for-all PvP action)
XP progression, perks, and deck-building systems keep the game engaging season after season. It's both deep and accessible—a rare combination.
Currency Breakdown: Doubloons and Nuggies
Two primary currencies fuel the in-game economy:
Doubloons: Earned through play (with Pirate Pass) and used for event rewards.
Nuggies: Used for ship repairs, crafting, and rerolling perks.
Nuggies are earned through quests, land control, and idle missions, making them vital for daily operations.
What You Get With the Pirate Pass
Holding a Pirate Pass unlocks full participation in events like Battle for the Abstract Seas. Benefits include:
Access to Warchest rewards
Ability to earn and claim doubloons
Withdraw NFTs and tokenized items
Loot sharing: 20% for crew, 80% for captains
Passes can be bought or gifted, adding flexibility for guilds and friends.
$CNC Token Utility and Ecosystem
Last but not least, the $CNC token brings powerful utility:
Stake to earn 15% of Warchest payouts
Vote on governance proposals
Provide liquidity for additional rewards
$CNC is more than an in-game token—it’s tied into the larger KAP ecosystem, giving players long-term earning and decision-making power.
Whether you’re out for gold, glory, or just good gameplay, Captain & Company’s Battle for the Abstract Seas offers a dynamic, inclusive, and rewarding blockchain gaming experience. But hurry—the event only lasts one week, and the seas wait for no one.
Set sail, join the battle, and make your mark in the world of blockchain games.
