Polytopia Dev Tracker

Hey Polytopians!

We’re back with a brand new major beta update for you, the aptly named “Path of the Ocean” (formerly known as “the Naval Rework”)! We’ve taken some time to pretty much fully rework how the naval game is played, adding new units, mechanics, and poking everything that merely looks at the water! Battleship Spam™ is dumb, and we can promise you that it’s now a thing of the past!
To keep things simple and quick on our side, the beta test will only be available on Steam, and you can find instructions on how to join the beta at the bottom of this post.

We’ll be laying out this post like this:

We have come across some very unique bags from the Quetzali artisans. These are vintage items that can rarely be found on the Square, and they've been made specially for us humans to enjoy! You probably couldn't fit an ostrich in them, but don't worry, there's plenty of room for corn. :)

Only a limited number of these exist, so hurry to get yours at http://shop.midjiwan.com.

Here's the scoop: we're rolling out eight weekly tournaments, a total of 24 monthly tournaments. Your seven best results throughout the month will contribute to your standing on the monthly leaderboard, granting you a shot at the top 16 positions and entering the monthly tournament (details can be found in the image below).
