No one could have expected what happened on that fateful day as a band of Polytopians ventured into the Cymantini Forest, forever to be changed by their encounter with the Ciru Bug. Normally parasites, the Ciru Bugs now live in mutualism with their new hosts, lending their enhanced senses for food and protection.

No one really remembers why the Hoodrick and the Bardur split apart so long ago, but this split formed one of the Square's most special and bitter inter-tribal rivalries. Ranging from brutal raids to petty displays of superiority, the Hood-Bard Rivalry shows no signs of stopping any time soon.

Hello, Polytopians!

It’s time for Balance Pass 2! We’re making some big changes and we’d like to take some time to talk about them!

Release notes for release 2.0.58
General Balance:
-Increase income for clearing forest to 2*
-Increase price of knight to 10*
The change to forest chopping has been getting some mixed results, so we thought to get the best of both worlds by keeping tree chopping in Free Spirit so that tech power is more easily managed, but bringing it up to 2* for increased usefulness, which should make it viable again. Because Knights are now much more easy to get, their cost has been raised to 10*, making Knight rushes a little more difficult.

-Lowered price of burn forest to 2*
-Elyrion can no longer burn forest
If the Riding branch of techs is meant to revolve around tree destruction and freedom of movement, you should actually get some tools to help you do just that. Burn Forest was often too expensive ... Read more

General Balance:
-Increase income for clearing forest to 2*
-Increase price of knight to 10*
-Lower price for burn forest
-Elyrion can no longer burn forest
-Improved map generator with distribution of resources closer tied to the tribe nature settings
-replaced giant reward in ruins with a veteran swordsman
-Replaced tech stealing when meeting a new tribe with star rewards based on that tribes score ( 3* per 1000 points rounded up, cap at 12* )
-Mountain defense bonus moved to climbing tech

Cymanti Balance:
-Increased defence reduction when poisoned
-Poison cures directly when healing unit once
-Removed movement penalty on fungus
-Remove boost effect when attacked and exploring ruins
-Centipedes segments can now be converted by mind benders

-Raychi price increased to 8*
-Hexapod price increased to 3*
-Algae no longer gives pop, instead it conne... Read more

"The lands of the Oumaji are home to the Onjimu Riders, an order of Shebron-back town criers who inform the townsfolk of the news through poetry! Now a crucial part of Oumaji culture, poetic delivery of the news has become a competitive sport, with rules, competitions, and even creative regional styles!"

The Oumaji refer to any large grouping of people as a "hamu", which can also be applied to anywhere people congregate. Town Hall? "Hamu". Battlefield? "Hamu". The entire Square? That's right, "Hamu". It was the Battle of the Limdor Dunes that decided the proper number of people for a hamu - at least 5.

Atop the Icopo Reefs are where the Aquarion built their seaside settlements, which are cozily nestled between the cracks of bright pink coral islets. At home on the coast, the amphibious Aquarion prefer to live where they can see both the majesty of the clear skies and the beauty of the placid seas.

Zebasi architecture may seem simple, but is a perfect fit for the hot savanna climate.
