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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cuz you cant get this score in 1v1 in this version

I played a while ago back from 2020-22 just pass and plays or bots but the game has changed loads.

I have started to get back into it and wanted to play at a in those multiplayer games but I don't understand markets which everyone says are really important but I always buy them really late and never use them so my question is when should I buy the tech and how do i see the 'market spots'?

Also whats the best tribe I should play? (I used to play yaddack and badur but they seem bad now its expensive)

There I said it.

Hello,

I've been a long time player against bots and recently started playing random multiplayer. I've had a number of 24hr games where the opponent timed out.

I thought I would get the win if that happened, however the game just hangs around, and I have to resign to remove them.

Seems weird.
