The Battle of Polytopia News

Hey Polytopians,

It’s that time of year again, a time of merriment, love, peace, and sweet deals! We’ve got some things planned for you this year, so let’s get right to it!


First, this is the beginning of the Steam Winter Sales! Both the game and it’s DLC are -35% off! Polytopia is the perfect gift for everyone in your life, and this is the best time to pick up a copy or any missing DLC for yourself or a friend! Nothing brings people together quite like the eternal warring between Polytopians. :)


We have noticed someone dressed as Santa appearing on the Square. Who knows what mischief they're up to?! Be careful out there!

The sale and the appearance of St. Nick will end on January 5th.

Happy Holidays, from all of us at Midjiwan!

"The process of choosing the next Bardur Jarl is simple, they choose candidates and roll a dice. Bardurians believe the will of the gods is best found in circumstances of chance and chaos, such as the heat of battle."

Hello Polytopians,

In this post, we’d like to tell you more about the Bardur! It takes brave and strong people to make a home in a land of endless snow, but like the tall trees, the Bardur thrive. Mighty hunters with a knack for making a wonderful meal out of the most terrible beasts, the Bardur are known for their skills in survival.

They ride the ferocious Baerian:



And eat the tart Øgelfuss Berries:


The Bardur begin the game with the “Hunting” technology, which allows them to harvest animals from the start of the game. This early game boost in resources gives Bardur an excellent head start over other tribes. Hunting is also adjacent to the “Forestry” technology, meaning that the Bardur are often the fastest to start exploiting nearby trees for either growth or resources.



In addition to being the closest to the “Forestry” technology, the Bardur are also the closest to “Mathematics,” which unlocks Catapults. This provides them quite a bit of versatility, as Catapults can be used for both offense and defense, either seiging a fortified city or holding off a naval attack. With easy access to “Hunting,” “Forestry,” and “Mathematics,” Bardur is an exceptionally flexible tribe.

If you like a tribe that can thrive in the worst of environments, or simply want to experience the rush of hunting a Baerian, then the Bardur are the tribe for you!
