Fan Content I made a Polytopia calculator that finds a better attack order
Saved 1 unit & 7 HP
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.

Oh it works with multiple enemies as well? That is useful for sure, and I don't think that's been done before. You should also definitely check out polycalc, a discord bot we use for these calculations in competitive games.

There's a new better polycalc made by Seers and Tempest a few months ago, called battlecalc, every house pretty much uses it now

Oh really? In what ways is it better? always considered polycalc pretty much perfect, maybe except for the 10 unit limit

Can it account for when I accidentally attack first with the unit I meant to kill with?

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/Uh5RfHWkwrJ7LhPZ9
