I can’t connect to the server after the update :/
We've fixed it
It still doesn't work.

Is it out for IOS yet? Can‘t find an update :/
It is, but it may be taking a little longer to get to you
5 minute games / live games have disappeared? That's a real bummer, there's no way to play a quick game now.
5 minute games should be back. We have shelved Live Games for now as we work on them some more.
Well, I can't see 5 minutes. The option isn't showing.
That's odd. DM me a picture, please
This seems to buff Cymanti a lot (mostly by nerfing normal tribes). Weren’t they already the strongest tribe by a solid margin?
How did we nerf the Regular tribes?
ok but where are 16 player profiles (human players) in pass and play games, 12 hour time limits, color selector, live games, and replays
We never added most of those, so no idea what you're talking about.
i know, most of those are suggestions :)
I can say that Live Games and Replays are coming, but we're just postponed for now.
Loving the new AI strength, but is there a way to disable diplomacy and play with the prior set of rules?
Nope. This is how the game is now. :)
Are there full patch notes anywhere? I noticed logging moved, again, and middle-tier ships seem faster.
Click the link. It has patchnotes.
i used to play on the hardest mode only which just got almost unplayable now.. after like 10 turns, almost all of my cities are surrounded by those new invisible units.. I hate that.. seems like I have to work on new strategies but it got A LOT harder with this update now.
Good, working as intended. :)
Seems to be a bug where you can't build/destroy if an emergency cloak is on a tile so you can immediately know anytime one walks into your territory.
I thought we fixed this. I'll mention it
Do daggers always spawn in 3 or can it be more with bigger cities?
The amount of Daggers spawned is the city level -1
Is there an instruction manual somewhere?
Did you click the link?
I was looking for info about loosing all of ones troops when they are in the other persons area. I didn't see anything about that there.
Ah yes. You may want to look at the wiki.
That really sucks, it’s a completely different game now, we should at least be given an option for legacy game mode
You can win without using any of the Diplomacy features, they're just a means to an end.
Maybe you want friends? Maybe you don't. That's up to you.
You can’t disable the new spy stuff
But you can learn to master it. :)
Is it possible to have a diplo victory if the only tribes left are your allies? Do they all have to be each other's allies, too? I'm in a single player domination game and the only remaining tribes are my allies, but I don't think they're each other's allies. Do I need to kill all of my allies to win?
You guessed it, you'll have to backstab them all to win. 😈
I really want an option to turn off confirmation boxes for heal etc now. It slows the game down so much.
Units that are unused that turn will auto-heal, so just don't use them and you won't have to tell them to heal.
That sucks. You guys screwed it up nicely.
Change is a good thing, and we encourage you to go into this update with an open mind and fresh perspective. :)
Why is the Diplomacy update not active in online matches?
The person you're playing with probably hasn't updated.
Definitely changed up the game play with this update - so in some ways it is all new. Sorry that the developers have to take all the hate comments — you can’t beat this game for the price and flexibility (pass and play, battle friends, battle the bot, etc).
Keep up the good work!
I will keep trying to 3 ⭐️my Ai-Mo in Domination mode! 😀
Thank you for the kind words!
I don't want friends, but the fcking AI keeps putting an embassy in my capital. I also don't want spies nor that f**king units that attack you without being able to attack back.
You guys ruined a game I used to love and that I paid for what it was, not the crap that it is now. You should have done Polytopia 2 and left this alone.
The Embassy gets you +2 stars/turn, so there's no reason to not want it in your capital. :)
Does it all work online already? I tried playing with my friend and although now there is strategy in the tech tree, cutting trees yields 2 stars and there is no diplomacy available... I think we updated both clients
You'll need to make sure they're both 2.2.0.7300, otherwise it will default to the older one.
AI instantly hates you
AI instantly loves each other

Well, not quite.
Have you tried being less hatable?
If you’re going to mess with solid strategies that players have been developing for months or years by continually changing the stats of a unit (the knight), at least have the decency to make the game comparable with bar at the top of IOS devices. All this update did for me was make it so the Stars, score, and turn at the top are hidden no matter the UI size. You made an update that nerfed a solid unit, needlessly buffed the AI, and now I can’t see the controls. Once again: if you’re going to add a difficult update, do it right.
The UI thing is a bug, as you should always have that. This is the first I've heard of it since the update, though.
The Knight was nerfed due to overwhelming fan responses asking it to be nerfed. We changed it from a "do everything" unit to more of a specialist, which should minimize the amount of boring and unfun "Knight Spam".
Yes, I do understand it was a bit of a Mary Sue unit before, but now AI just camps and spawn kills for the entire game and I can’t get move units around because they die on spawn. Now that the AI can quickly upgrade with alliances, within the first 10 turns I have pirate ships also spawn killing. The knight could survive more than one hit before the update. I just feel like there is just no mobility now to even begin to form a new strategy.
We'll be making improvements to the AI as time goes on. :)
Idk if the developers will read this but here goes.
I've been playing this game for years, brought all the tribes without thinking twice. I generally play with AI on creative mode because I really liked to get all those monuments to decorate those small cities with. The simplicity and quickness of this game made it addictive. I've got so addicted that I had to install an app block to be productive irl. I was looking forward to this update and found it interesting at first. I really enjoy that you can make peace with some units. That made sense to gather more resources, explore the area further and get the peacemaker monument.
However, the worst unit is the cloak. I don't see a reason for it to be invisible. You have the mind bender who could transform a dragon without needing to be invisible so that's really the worst feature about this cloak such that I don't enjoy spawning it.
If you absolutely must keep invisibility, it desperately needs a cooldown rate and be visible again after a few turns. Otherwise, there's no way to know if there's a cloak around the corner. You'll need to defend most cities and have little left for spawning knight who can only take out a few knives.
With this back and forth, the game starts to become a grind. You may get stuck in one place for hours going back and forth. So while I find the knives interesting and reduction of knight OP great, I no longer need an app block for I hardly feel like playing this game much as even winning doesn't feels fun anymore.
Mind Benders can help spot Cloaks, actually.
Also, many fans consider then easy to counter by just having units in your territory.
