Lands not merged during this period will not be able to merge in the future. They will remain as 1x1 lands and have their own role in later gameplay. Merging is irreversible.* {% endhint %} ### What is Merging? * You can merge **4 Lands** to create an [**Estate**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/land-nft/estate.md). * You can merge **9 Lands** to create a [**Province**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/land-nft/province.md). * The merged unit becomes a **single asset** with **unique benefits and boosted traits**. * Merged **Lands are burned**, and the outcome is minted as a new NFT asset. * Estates and Provinces will be assigned a random **Name** upon minting.
### The Benefits of (un)merged Lands While Estates and Provinces will be important hubs in the extended gameplay, simple Lands will continue to play an essential role. All three types of Land will have their **up- and downsides** and cater to specific playstyles.
