Created, however midjiwan used inspiration from a wendigo

This is the right answer.

(As an interesting fact, I actually designed the Gaami)

Figured it was shinigami inspired.

It is not.

I’ve also been wondering if the name is inspired by the Japanese word kami

It is not.

Yeah, it currently too heavy in favor of tribes who can make use of it. Which isn't to say that it isn't fun for a while but I expect it to get old pretty soon.
I really liked a suggestion I saw on polychamps about it giving 2 stars but removing 1 spt from the city (or deducting 1 population from it) for 1 turn. That way it still only gives a net 1 star but you can still use it for exponential growth.

That was actually an idea I presented to them (which ultimately came from some musings by Midjiwan).

He wants chopping to be powerful, but come at some pretty big long-term costs

This post was deemed "low effort" and was removed, either because either the point was not conducive to discussion or it was a meme of such low quality that it barely qualified as a meme.

The current competitive meta revolves all around rushing free spirit and chopping in order to jumpstart your economy. Since luxidoor have quite a lot of woods and they can get free spirit fairly quickly they can get going sooner than most. There is even discussion to raise hoodrick up to that same tier due to all their available trees.

If you are interested in Polychamps, you can look up the server in discord. Polychamps revolves around 2v2 and 3v3 competitive games between teams which, in my opinion are probably the best way to really learn the finesses of the game. After all you discuss every move you make and always have a second opinion.

For general 1v1 competitive you can always just go to the main polytopia discord server and do some ranked matches. Polymasters and the facebook league are another two highly competitive 1v1 leagues.

Imo winrate 90% in random matches is a good time to step into the more competitive leagues.

We're not entirely happy with the new chop meta, as it's not doing quite what we were hoping for. Expect a nerf (that isn't bringing it back to 1*)

Surprisingly not, actually. We were actually shocked by the results, and were like "welp, guess it's time to change it".

Midjiwan is also officially wrong, 0 points for linguistic accuracy :P

It was never about being linguistically accurate. :P

Comment

Officially, Midjiwan has dictated that it should be pronounced "Chin-Chi" ("Like 'chinchilla'," he says).

Iirc stars aren’t just money but resources in general (wood food etc) which you would all need to advance. Also I think Zoythrus at one point (On a steam thread iirc) mentioned that not having the tech doesnt mean they can’t use what the tech encompasses, just that they cant do it on a governmental scale. Thats my opinion I hope you dont mind.

Can confirm. There's a difference between "eating some berries" and "harvesting, farming, and storing enough berries to maintain a population"
