The Battle of Polytopia News

Other tribes may have been blessed with fertile land, abundant resources, or a warrior culture, but the Oumaji have something the others do not - speed. The legendary Shebron can quickly dash over dunes, hills, and plains, and are why the Oumaji excel at hit-and-run raids.

Hello Polytopians,

It's the Oumaji Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the Oumaji, our favorite lightning-fast, desert marauders!

Not enough Oumaji in your life? We're having discounts on all Oumaji merchandise at https://shop.midjiwan.com until August 31st!

Hey Polytopians!

It's time to help us test a new beta! This one sees a return of Live Games and Replays, but also adds Lobbies!

If you need a refresher on what new features we're adding in this new beta:

• Live Games - a tight, quick game format where the turn timer is always right on your tail! If you run out of time, you'll get skipped, and 3 skips means you get kicked, so make those moves fast!
  
• Replays - online multiplayer games will now be saved to the cloud, and able to be accessed from the new "Replays" tab in the multiplayer menu! You can share links to the replays for everyone to see that particular replay!
  
• Lobbies - a new way of gathering you friends together for a match. Lobbies are not time restricted, but you pick the tribe when accepting the invite. When players are ready, the host can start the game! We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this new lobby format!
  

This beta has no restrictions, so feel free to join in an help us test it out!

To get in, right click Polytopia, click "Properties", go to the "Betas" tab, and then input this code: dontgetskipped

Then you'll be able to try out all the new features!

The majestic Turmelon is the main source of inspiration for Aquarion artisans. Children play with Turmelon toys, merchants push their wares from Turmelon-shaped carts, and even the Aquarion monarch sits on a Turmelon-shaped throne.

SOLAR POWER UPDATE: In the mobile version of the game (App Store & Google Play), all revenues from the sales of the Zebasi tribe are invested in loans for solar power projects in rural Africa. The total amount invested in these projects is now €180.000 which has helped tens of thousands of people in Africa to get access to CO2-free electricity.

We want to thank everyone who purchased Zebasi!!!



The investment is made through the Swedish company Trine. All investments through Trine meet sustainable development goals, which were formed by the UN Development Program (UNDP)
