Polytopia Dev Tracker

Well, it should be roads for 2 and bridges for 4, and bridges should add a movement bonus like roads do. I firmly believe most people would agree. I never once heard anyone complain about roads being too cheap. If your issue is with Riders/Roads, just make Riders more expensive.
What is the issue with Roads being strong anyways? Giants are also strong, should you eliminate them? Roads are used by everyone except Cymanti and Aquarion. Cymanti has Boost to counter that, Aquarion should obviously be able to use roads with their amphibious units, and badda-bing! Nobody gets an unfair advantage.

Did the update also apply to mobile players? I haven’t seen that come through.

Building a new meta and mechanics to improve based on feedback is fair on Midjiwan’s side. I’m sure you guys get a lot of feedback and you guys worked very hard on this update. Tbh there are aspects I really enjoy about it.

The comments asking for a Classic version from fans is also fair. Some of these players have played it for years amassing 100s of hours and using it as comfort food. They’ve supported the dev, bought the additional tribes, paid a lot of money to the developer. And suddenly the game that they had supported and loved had changed due to an update.

There’s a reason why WoW has the current meta and WoW Classic. There’s a reason why there’s Overwatch 1 and 2, StarCraft 2 and 3. Changing mechanics so drastically should create a fork in the community.

I do hope Midjiwan will consider having a forked Polytopia Classic version. Because a game that we all loved is now just gone.

I used to like to build loads of big boats. With around 2200 games played this update just isnt any fun anymore. Its been a fun while it lasted but i wont stick around.

I've been meaning to ask you, have you gotten a peak at the Quetzali skin? They'd look so magnificent with swordsmans using a macuahuitl, archers using an atlatl or even sporting feather helmets that the elite Aztec eagle warriors used.

p.s. I hope Ai-Mo gets a skin referencing their Andean/Inca heritage, like a Chullo would be beautiful. Swordsman could use an Inca star mace, archers a bolas... sorry I've been going on a tangent.

What tribes do you play Zoythrus?

Why didn't they retain ports 2 population?

Why listen to those complaints and ignore the many complaints about the new road/bridges?

Can you of Midjiwan block none updated games from Multiplayer ?

Today I join a 9 players game where 8 where version 101 and only 1 little kido was 89. And there is no way to tell him to quit.

There was no other rooms of 9 players.

Why should we be forced to play old version when today we specially want to play new, just because of one stupide guy that doesn't understand that he has the "satinhoo" spirit in him.

Why isn't an option for minimum Game version for each multiplayer game.

Really disappointed with how much this changes the game. I’m all for adding features but nerfing existing ones is a bad idea that’s just going to piss off long-time players, and the comments I’m seeing here today attest to that. The cost/reward value of so many things has changed it will require a completely different strategy to play now.

The devs seem resistant to including a classic version but based on the feedback I’m seeing, I would seriously reconsider.

Hate the new update and on IOS there’s no way to get back to the game I’ve loved for years. Disappointing implementation from the developers.

I'm seeing this a lot, and not at all about what the players want. Even though they keep telling you this is awful.

Wasn't it already a blend? Whenever I started in the middle of the map, I'd have to use other techs to expand my land, or run all over settling new villages, to start building ports. But by that time, it made more sense to upgrade catapults and knights. So it had become the land game.

Its like, it used to be the random map that would determine your game and it was always a surprise and something new, and now you've just boxed everything into this very precise way of playing.

None of your multi-players liked it, or even most of the nonPVP players complained about it?

I hardly ever get three stars as it is. Usually the archers destroy me before I can build. It has to be a perfect map and set up to get 3star domination and now? Impossible. I can't even get to my fish resource until after I buy ports, which is a waste of a turn because I want to collect my fish first then build a port. Like, what is the point of doing ports before fishing? That makes zero sense. And now I don't even get 2 pop for a port, just one, and it's three stars cheaper but does that matter when it doesn't give you the four pop star upgrade? It's so unenjoyable now. Like, the more I've tried to play the worse its gotten. I might have liked this game as another option, but as the only option? Not at all.

My only concern is Aquarion not being able to use roads now, that makes them now the only tribe in the game that has no possible way of moving a unit more than two tiles across land at a time.

Not necessarily hard, but it would fragment the playerbase a lot. They get the same question on pretty much any big update
