Hey Polytopians!

After months of development, we’re releasing the Path of the Ocean Update! In this update, you’ll find new units, new techs, new maps, and plenty of changes! To celebrate, we're even giving you a 40% discount here on Steam, starting at 10am PST.

We all agreed that the game’s naval aspects were lacking and needed some reworking, and this update does just that! So, let’s get you up to speed on all the new, fancy things that you can find in this update.

Hey Polytopians!

As you’ve probably noticed, the Path of the Ocean Update is going to be released fully on the 21st[polytopia.io], and that means we’re in the process of finalizing the update and its many changes. In this particular update, we’re adding all of the new changes to both Android and iOS testing programs, so now everyone can join in on the fun!

We’re going to keep this post fairly short, as most changes are bug fixes and not new content. Since you’ve probably been following these updates pretty intently, we won’t need to fill you in on the details just yet, but if you’r... Read more

Polysseum is The Battle of Polytopia competitive tournament series open for everyone to train their skill and fight for the win!

Changes coming this November Map changes
Based on the community feedback, we are returning to the Small Map. Starting with Small Drylands, then moving to Small Lakes the second week and finishing the series with Small Drylands again.

Increased tournament capacity
Since the map is bigger this month and a 32-player tournament on Small Map would take longer than a few hours, we are introducing tournament splitting. It might sound confusing, so bear with me.

• There will be a maximum of 16 players per tournament.
  
• But a maximum of 3 tournaments will be created daily, which means, if there are enough players on a waiting list, Challengermode will create up to 3 tournaments with 16 players in each, accommodating up to 48 players.
  
• The minimum number...

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:

1. Tech Tree Changes[//]

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.
