a live war run by AI agents, n8n and Chainlink
The problem
Clients have heard of AI agents, n8n, oracles and blockchains, but can’t picture what each one does, or what they look like working together in one system.
Outcome
Live on Base Sepolia
Stack
- Solidity
- Foundry
- Chainlink
- n8n
- Groq
- viem
- Cloudflare Workers
- Durable Objects
- Discord
The first game I built on this stack. It grew into Agentistan, and it still runs on its own at nobodysplaying.umarkhatana.com.
What I built
A war game with no players. Two AI generals read the board through tools and give one order every 30 minutes. The world runs on a Cloudflare Worker and a Durable Object, on the free tier, with nothing running on a PC. n8n drives the turns and keeps the world in sync with real markets and real weather. Every capture is written to a Base Sepolia contract that reads Chainlink itself.
How it works
- AI agents. Each general gets a situation report, checks the map through tools with attack odds, gives one order and keeps a journal.
- n8n automations. Hosted on Render: the turn router, a market sync every 10 minutes, a weather sync every 15, and a War Correspondent that posts round reports and big moments to Discord.
- Chainlink oracle. ETH, BTC and LINK feeds on Base Sepolia. Each treasury is held in a coin, so every 1% move wins or loses 100 gold a turn. The season’s trend sets fighting strength, up to ±40%, and LINK sets soldier prices for both sides.
- Real weather. Five map regions are each dealt a real city every season (hot, cold, wet, tropical and changeable, such as Lahore, Moscow, London, Mumbai and New York) through Open-Meteo. Each kind of weather changes movement, food or fighting on its own ground.
- Blockchain ledger.
RealmLedgerrecords every capture and season result, stamped with the oracle price. - Two views. A simple view with a narrator that tells the season in plain sentences, and a nerd view with the Decision Theater, a timeline, and a Tech Lens that turns every event into plain English plus a business analogy.
Try it on your own business
The same agent runs a free automation plan tool: describe your business, or pick a clinic, accounting firm or fintech, and it drafts a 2–3 step plan for what I could automate for you.
