Is polytopia a game about bugs, or humans?
I was confused because all the best players are the bug tribe.. What's going on here?

External link →. . .Polytopia is about humans. There are a bunch of tribes on a square vying for supremacy. The best players being in the bug tribe is more a preference of people playing small, fast matches, which the cymanti (bug) tribe is very good in. If you read their lore, you'll see that they're humans who breed and control bugs and have a symbiotic relation with the ciru bug.
Well, they're not "humans".
They're Polytopians. :P
Are there such things as humans in the polytopian world? Perhaps a past or future species that existed? Or are we just entirely irrelevant to the Polytopians?
Humans have never inhabited the Square.
Besides, the Polytopians are only 4" tall, so we wouldn't fit well anyway
Oh really? Never know that. Would explain why the cities are so tiny or the animals are so large then.
Well, the animals are to scale, also being like, 4" tall.
Their size on the screen is just for user convenience.
So, so we would dwarf even the giants
Easily
Oh . . . I thought it'd be really cool to have just giant zebras or bears walking around in a forest with trees like 1/5 their size . . . can you make it canon?
No, as we've already shown the animals next to the Polytopians on plenty of occasions
I have a lore question which I wanted to know for a long time. So the units we play with are not single Politopians but should represent regiments with hundreds of soldiers right?
Does the same thing counts for giants? Are they really one mountain sized single unit or are they also a regiment of multiple "giants" which are just a taller, stronger and more durable subspecies of polytopians but not as big as represented.
I always imagined them compared with normal polytopians like Space Mariens compared to normal soldiers if this says something to you.
So, we haven't delved much into Giants yet, so this answer may change.
But I like to think of Giants as single units, compared to the normal battalions of standard Polytopians.
