Yes. Getting the Bug onto an unwilling participant isn't always easy. Some in the platoon might even die fighting back.

Still, once it's on, the thought of "I've got a bug on my face" isn't so bad. You're not too sure why you fought at all.....

I predict you're no attracting the kind of crowd you want with a game like this. I mean app sales are sales, but this definitely appeals more to people looking for a simple game.

And that's not a bad thing.

Midjiwan wants everyone to enjoy his game, whoever they are.

Ah, damn. Maybe it’s because I’m on iOS instead of an Android.

We released the update today.

I might as well rephrase it to see if we can get a proper response from zoythrus, why was the app photo changed? Any particular reason?

So, there are 3 main reasons:

  1. We ran a study on app icons, and noticed that downloads increased by 20% when this icon was the one representing the game on the App Store/Google Play.

  2. The app icon was changed to match the store icon, since the store icon was so popular (as per reason 1). This was to reduce confusion.

  3. We wanted to change it.

I was curious, what was the culture and what was this tribe called before they became Cymantis?

Cymanti aren't fully conteolled? Care to elaborate?

Yes, the Ciru Bug meshes with their minds and inputs thoughts, but I wouldn't say that it fully controls them. The Cymanti still have some control of themselves, just with an additional voice in their heads that influences them.

After all, they still have a culture, and that wouldn't be possible if they were fully enslaved by the Ciru Bug.

Ah thanks! So is the disabling/enabling of tribes also using Alt + click tribe? If that is what is causing the issue, wouldn't changing the keybinds for either function fix the issue?

No, that is activated by tapping/holding a tribe

This is true.

Oh no, they do, you'd be thinking of Cymanti in that regard. Polarians choose to utilize their free will to serve the Gaami

The Cymanti aren't fully controlled/mindless, either.

The Polaris, as a whole, are zealously devoted to the Gaami. They may not be "mind controlled", but I'd say it's not too far from the truth.

The Battle of Polytopia is a turn-based, world-building, 4X strategy game developed by Swedish gaming company Midjiwan AB. Players play as one of sixteen tribes to develop an empire and defeat opponents in a low poly square-shaped world. Players can play against bots or human opponents, local or online

I couldn't have said it better, myself.

You push ALT and then click two tribes, iirc.
