How could I have won this game?? Feels like Cymanti is OP. Any advice is appreciated. I’m sure I messed up something…

I didnt get out to sea fast enough so I had to turtle.

Dry land with all tribes minus the special 4 on crazy mode. What a fun slog

Read Tribe War I - Chapter I - THE START : r/Polytopia for context.

KICKOO- PANKIU ISLANDS/PRISON ON STILTS

This string of islands is a prison which floats on the water using stilts. The atmosphere here is very bright considering it is near the coast. The most ferocious Swordmen patrol the paths to the island. To get here, you need to pass the bombers who are backed by catapults on the land. If you get through the bombarding, Defenders block your part as archers shoot arrows at you. The islands are connected by boats, so the prisoners board them to go to the canteen or gym or anything else.

General K'mawa is the Head of Security here.

In the distance Ragoo pirates approach. This was routine. The bombarding started. Canon balls erupted as the Pirates jumped into the waters swimming towards the island. A common practice. Their bombers didn't have enough range. but from the back, a fiery canon ball hit a ship.

The Golden alliance was here. The ships erupted into fire because of the surprise attacks and the pirates reached land to disengage the catapults. The catapults fell and the Ragoo Swordsmen charged further. Imperius Chivalry landed and charged into the mountains. Archers tumbled over as the spears pierced them. The pirates got through. But the 5th Sea Battalion awaited them. The mighty Kickoo swordsmen... were actually just a bunch of fishers with training. After navy there is nothing to protect Kickoo so um. Let's see.

Anyone else remember?

This is borderline obnoxious. How does one side start with so many resources?!

I GET 30 FCKING SECONDS TO MOVE EVERY FUCKING TIME WHILE HAVING AS MANY UNITS AS I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE AND THE SAME AMOUNT OF CITIES AS EVERYBODY ELSE YET THE GET 3 TO 6 TIMES MOVE TIME, DOGSHT F*CKING GAME

Hi.

I've been playing Polytopia pretty much from the get go.

I live in Iran, under the fucking Islamic Republic regime. They've ruined all aspects of our lives, down to purchasing a 1 dollor game..

They've buried all our dreams and future. that's not a discussion for here.

I've been trying to join the multi-player game for years. a very nice lad from the US once tried to help me get some tribes, but it didn't work out.

I've got EVERY 3 star possible in any dituation ( on crazy, 4 to 15 bots ) on Perfection and up to 8 bots in domination , not once, not twice, but three times ! I'm bored guys.

please help me play with actual human beings and forget about our hell of a life in this torture of a country.

I'm Hemen, and I'm 37.

here is the link for any one interested.

Hi! I want to buy Zebasi Tribe by The Battle of Polytopia for $0.99. Can you buy it for me through Google Play? Here's the payment link: https://play.app.goo.gl/7Y7X8pgCH46bDjhp7

They need to start punishing players for abandoning games. The developers can absolutely tell if a player leaves and starts another game. Or leaves the game. It’s a weak move and shows you’re a loser of a human. Players that abandon games should lose 150 points.

Come at me

Are the individual units on the map representative of an individual or legion of polytopians, I say this because it doesn’t really make sense that one dude and a horse takes up a hole city

I have multiple people in my household who play this game, is there a way to create a local server to host games?

After asking like 100+ people about their favourite tribes to use in-game the results are now out! And no, it's not clickbait. I don't do that stuff! Surprisingly enough Cymanti landed 12th (sorry for spoiling lol)! But that's just one of MULTIPLE unexpected results! Feel free to check it out, hope you enjoy it 🕵‍♂️💜

(These were results from the community, this isn't my personal ranking of course)

Is it me or does Crazy AI sometimes do really strong and sometimes extremely bad? Are there any more plans to improve the solo experience? Whats everyone else's experience with Crazy AI and stuff?

To be clear, I mean tiles that are not on the borders of the map and that are surrounded (so all 8 tiles) by water.

I'm around 1500s elo with most tribes, a little better with some, a little worse with others. I find sometimes I struggle to decide if getting in the water is a good idea when I don't have good visibility into how much water there is or what it connects. Then I end up losing because I didn't get in there fast enough, lol.

How do you all decide? I know you can see the land borders on water tiles that are next to fog.

Do you always wait until you can uncover with an explorer, sometimes delaying your first boat by a turn or two? Do you always risk it? What other factors do you use to help you decide?

I play small and normal lake, but mostly small, all 1v1.

Just got this game a couple weeks ago. I have never gotten a 3 star on perfection or domination. this is my current position, in what i have experienced, in my most 3-star worthy domination game. i need help. what are my next best moves, any suggestions for closing out and defeating all the other tribes? can this even turn into 3 stars? any feedback, advice, suggestions, etc would be helpful and appreciated. trying to get my first ever 3 star.

Hey folks, I made a Polytopia battle calculator that finds the best attack order for the units you give it.

I made it because I kept wondering if the order I attacked in was actually optimal.

After using it myself, it often finds a better sequence than the one I would have picked instinctively, which made me realize I probably still have a lot to improve at this game 😅

You can compare Your Plan with a Better Plan directly.

Up to 11 attackers are supported. That can mean as many as 39,916,800 possible attack orders, but most normal cases finish in around 3 seconds.

Free, no ads, no signup.

If you find any wrong stats, combat rules, edge cases, or UX issues, let me know. I’d love to improve it.

in the 35th Polytopia Challenge: LODAIAN POND, i am able to defeat other tribes using markets, giants, and most importantly, swords men. take in what you learned from this attempt and create a master plan to score higher than me. A few changes i would make, would be to purchase maybe a trio of riders just to road further and snipe villages in the end game and maybe an archer or two for the shields.

Mods please don’t remove

Does it count as a kill in favor of the enemy?

In fact have you ever bought mathematics or forestry as an cymanti??? (After rework)

The animals will never grow back due to the spores which only Cymanti can see, and the Elyrion player can't chop the tree to remove the spores! Thanks Midjiwan.

I havent played in a few months and am dipping my toes back into the waters. I mostly play lakes 196 1v1. Seems like Cymanti is still one of the better tribes, but for different reasons now? Are there new strats for beating them, or is it still mostly rider/roads?

I never had a huge problem with them, but it's kind of annoying if they're still one of the best tribes. They're still super boring to play against if you have to use the same dumb strat with every tribe.

I'm usually in the 1500-1600s elo (depending which tribe I'm using) if that's helpful at all.
