The Battle of Polytopia News

Heya, Polytopians!
We'd like to update you on our current plans now that Cymanti have been released!

[h2]The Moment You’ve All Been Waiting For…[/h2]
Up next is something you've all been waiting for - Diplomacy! While we're not ready yet to go into detail on everything that entails, we can assure you it's going to be the next technology after Shields and will let you have some interesting interactions with your neighbors. Embassies, intrigue, and constantly-shifting treaties should keep the game much more dynamic and fun!



[h2]Is that it?[/h2]
No, don’t worry, there’s more! In addition to Diplomacy, we’re going to be doing some balance passes throughout the year to adjust some of the tribes to make multiplayer a bit more fun! Buffs to some, nerfs to others, and adjustments scattered throughout. After our changes, you might actually find some tribes you’ve probably never seen before in multiplayer. :)

[h2]Makes sense, but what else can we expect in the future?[/h2]
Well, we’ve got another set of Tribe Duels planned for the summer (a fan favorite), tons of bug fixes, improvements to multiplayer, more balance passes and adjustments, and some really cool secrets planned for later down the road!

2021 is shaping up to be an action-packed year for Polytopia! We’re glad that you’re here to join us on this journey, and we assure you that we’ve got a whole bunch of fun things in store!

Music has always been a part of Polytopian life, but the first superstars were the Imperius Philharmonic Orchestra, who quickly attracted Imperius citizens from all over the Empire! Remember, any rumors that the Imperius government is using the shows to hypnotize their citizens into obedience are nonsense.

Hello Polytopians,

It's the Imperius Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the organization of the Imperius, our favorite well-oiled empire!

After over a year of waiting, we’re ready to introduce the next Special tribe for Polytopia - the bug-loving, swamp-dwelling Cymanti! Get ready to outfit massive bugs for war, walk on water through the power of algae, and bathe your many foes in a steady stream of poisons!

In addition to releasing this new tribe as DLC, we’ve also improved the Philosophy technology to provide an even greater tech cost reduction!

20% discount on the Cymanti until February 24th.
