# Battling

The Metakings core team produced the initial fighting system based on the Metakings game assets in August 2020. The fighting system was modeled by the "unique battle" method seen in games such as "Demon souls" and "God of war." 

The Metakings development team began work on the real-time card warfare system and application in March 2021 and plans to release an Alpha prototype in December 2021.

 As with Demon Souls, which has gone through multiple revisions and used a variety of various fighting systems, we anticipate Metakings to have numerous battle varieties in the years to come.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.metakings.ai/gameplay/battling.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
