For the most part, these headcanons are the canons for the tribes, so you're pretty spot on in some ways.

Of course, if you'd like to see the lore up to this point, head to the wiki, which keeps all the lore blurbs.

Hmmmm 🤔

Yayyyy

We consider the game to feature a lot of abstraction.

What you see is only shorthand for what's actually happening.

Good to know. Will have to restructure my in game world building 😭

The units, themselves, are armies, so don't fret. :P

More annoying than starting my turn on the far side of the map looking at a bunch of unrevealed territory?

Yeah, actually. I personally wouldn't want it to zoom on my capital every turn. I'd want the camera to stay where the action is.

Dev here.

We don't do this because it sounds annoying.

Wait giants are actual giants? I always preferred the idea that it’s just a full scale army

Yeah, they're actual giants.

Is the math behind the game secret?

For the record, I wasn't talking "a mathematical formula", but more of a game design one.

10* Port gives 2* at a Custom House.

But we made Ports 5, so we couldn't give you 2 for it, since it's too easy to aquire. So we brought it down to 1*, but that was too low.

So we threw out the CH altogether

Are you implying that decorations aren't real? :P

What do formulas for things like that even look like?

Like a² + b² = c², but more complex.

Ah, so a single unit represents an entire army unit, not just one person.

No need to respond

But I'm going to respond anyway!

The difference is that now you have to fight others for it.

Starfish were used to replace Whales because we didn't like the concept of just getting a risk-free 30 stars out of thin air. Now you have to actually be there with a unit and get it before anyone else. You can even steal Starfish in someone else's borders!

Because Polytopians pilot the boat, not the Polytaurs
