Polytopia Dev Tracker

u/zoythrus - a question you could ask midjiwan , would there be a way to keep 2 separate versions of Polytopia?

That way, players could become accustomed to the new version at their own speed, and also allow people who like the precious version to still be able to play the old version.

I really love this update after playing a few days. Feels much more balanced to me in the use of all tech and buildings. I haven’t mastered it yet.

I played this games since release for years and years with all tribes unlocked, and honestly I had gotten a little bored with the game. I have maxed out all my scores, 150,000+ pts and 100% on all tribes, I played each tribe countless numbers of times, and honestly I was finding the min/max strats needed to get high scores was getting a little boring and tedious.

At this point, it seems to me some major differences in stats are:

• city planning is critical to place markets with all four buildings by it (ports, sawmills, windmills, and forges)
• more of tech tree is critical to get somewhat early to get rank 3/doubled markets
• spamming one type of building seems way less important now thankfully… (e.g. good riddance to spamming multiple ports around custom houses, multiple ports are not that use...

There was not anything lucklustre in the game before. People were playing a free tribe regularly and winning with it most of the times too. For Christ sake, you got 10 mil + downloads. The game was a legend. The way you took it from people is just outrageous.

2 atk is low. Rammer have also 3 movement and do 3 atk, so it's better.

Nerf Rammer to 2 movement if you want to see Scout be a counter to Rammer and Bomber

Kickoo starts with a tier 2 tech now and can get the other naval techs, especially navigation, much faster than others

I’ve played the game casually for years. My complaints are probably mostly going to be just not liking change but I will keep going for now. I will say the biggest change out of everything is the flow of the game. Because of the population and cost changes to almost every branch, it is completely changing any path anyone would be used to, especially early game. This isn’t to speak for ranked play because I have no concept of what is balanced. I’ve played Elryion since release and I’ve always loved the chance on a large map to get 3 cities turn 4, and research lumber yards. Turn 5 gets me two pop for a city and another unit spawn. I don’t even care about the navalons, the impact to just the usual flow could be enough of an upset to turn me off a good bit. I’m not saying I speak for any other subset of player base or any other individual, but those are just some of my thoughts. Would love to be able to play an “old school” version. Like OSRS haha.

A new and/or expanded tutorial would be great. There’s so many intricacies in Polytopia that the game never teaches you that would greatly help many players

I mentioned the bombers but it’s not just that - really it’s the severity of the change. It feels like a different game. And I don’t want to play it anymore. Wishing I’d never updated.

Isn’t this a glitched spawn though?
