Veterans

You were there.

Maybe you remember the first time you sent a fleet into the dark and didn't know if it would come back. Maybe you remember the Discord at 3 AM, everyone watching the same numbers, nobody saying anything. Maybe you set an alarm for the Midnight Bell and never told anyone why.

Or maybe you found us through Tap-Tap. You tapped through Valoria on Telegram, saw the Valiants, felt the universe behind them, and thought: there's more to this.

Either way, you're not new here. And this place knows it. The corridors remember your boot pattern. The Bell rang for you before. Pancho has the records, sure, but it's bigger than that, the Hangar, the fleet logs, the extraction grids. The whole universe kept your file open.

Who qualifies

If you have history with any of these Vortrius titles, you can link your account to Relive:

• CryptoMines: Legacy — the original. The one that started everything. If you were there for the Midnight Bell, the Worker burns, and the corridors going dark, Pancho kept your records. Every single one.
• CryptoMines: Reborn — the experimental restart with Goocho. Smaller community, stricter rules, real lessons. If you showed up for Reborn, you showed up when it wasn't easy. That counts.
• Valiants: Arena — the strategy card battler. If you climbed the MMR ladder, built competitive teams, and showed up for tournaments, that history carries over.
• Valiants: Tap-Tap — the Telegram mini-game. If you tapped your way through Valoria and kept climbing the rankings, your progression matters here too.

Link your old account(s) and Pancho recognizes you as a Veteran. That's not a label. That's acknowledgment.

What veterans get

Let's be clear about something: veteran status doesn't let you skip the game. You still build fleets, manage fuel, pick zones, and deploy through the same systems as everyone else. Relive is the same game for everyone.

What veterans get is better starting conditions. Because you already put time into this ecosystem, and that should mean something.

Pancho Tier Boost

Instead of starting at Scout and grinding your way up, Veterans begin at a higher Pancho tier. Immediately. No waiting. This means:

• Better referral share from day one
• Better welcome conditions for anyone you invite
• Access to higher-tier benefits without building a referral network from scratch

How high you start depends on how much history you have across the ecosystem. More games, more time, higher starting position.

Vortrius Score

Your performance across all Vortrius games combines into a single Vortrius Score. This is the metric that determines your veteran starting tier:

If you played more than one game, you receive a breadth bonus on top of your individual scores. The Vortrius Score rewards Commanders who showed up across the ecosystem, not just in one title.

You didn't just play one game. You've been part of this story from the beginning. Pancho noticed.

How to link

Link your old accounts before you start playing. Head to the veteran link section, connect your previous wallets or accounts, and once the link is confirmed, Pancho adjusts your starting conditions automatically.

If you've already started without linking, you can still do it later. But linking first gives you the full benefit from the start.

One more thing

Veteran integration doesn't bypass the core loop. Every Commander, veteran or not, builds fleets, manages fuel, chooses zones, and sends crews into the dark through the same systems. Veterans don't get free runs. You get better positioning in Pancho's structure, which gives you a head start, but the game itself is the same.

That's intentional. We want you to feel recognized, not to feel like you're playing a different game.

You earned your history. The Bell kept ringing. The corridors kept echoing. The extraction grids kept your coordinates on file. And Pancho? He kept it all organized. Now it's time to use it.
