I don't think this sort of hate toward Badger is deserved, honestly.

I'm going to ask you nicely to not make posts like this one.

I don't want people harassing Badger as we discuss this internally.

Please, let's not harass MillionBadger.

We're currently discussing it, and stuff like this isn't helping.

A city will make +1 star per level by default.

The Workshop just adds another star per turn on top of that.

Very few people have done it. Just saying

We can still ask them nicely to stop.

Is there a correct way to read this dialect?

No.

We have intentionally not handed out a guide, as "reading the intentionally illegible text" kinda defeats the purpose of the joke.

Nah, they have childhoods.

It is not.

Midjiwan has nicely asked people to not mess with the game's code or make mods.

I am loving this delve into Polytopian reproductive lore. Allow me to add some thoughts that came to mind regarding this “genetic clone problem”.

— What if polytopian parent genetic material (DNA/RNA) is more susceptible to “faults” when being copied to child cells. Thus resulting in more genetic variation in the species and making them less susceptible to diseases.
It could also be said for the sake of convenience that diseases just don't exist on The Square, thus removing the need for genetic variation.

— Perhaps the environment in which the egg is brought up/hatched (somehow) decides the polytopian that is hatched. Similar to how the gender of baby sea turtles is influenced by the temperature of the sand the eggs are laid in. (Then the question arises if Polytopians are reptiles, just like sea turtles.)

— You could say polytopian genetics are more directly influenced by their diet. This could explain the apparent differences between tribes, since th...

The answer to this is:

"Midjiwan doesn't want to give specifics at this time." I mean, they're not humans, and maybe don't even have DNA/RNA or might have some other bizarre alien anatomy that makes it work.

Because of such, I'm not going to confirm anything.

So is there not like a 1 to 1 (or many) mapping of letters? I never put much thought into it but assumed that it just changed the letter symbols.

Is that not the case?

So, there is a 1:1 mapping, but it doesn't correspond to English words. Like, # is C, but it isn't a cipher for the English letter C. I do it this way in order to keep translation simple.

Elyrion has its own words that aren't English.

So, here's the funny part about Elyrion - it's a sh*tpost.

It was designed as a joke as a way to make fun of the brand new localization feature we added.

"Besides adding Spanish, French, and so forth, what if we added a language that was intentionally stupid and unintelligible? Just to screw with people."

Midjiwan liked the idea, so I got to work making a sh*tpost. :P

Amazing! With this information, I will definately try learning the language.

It was intentionally written to be unintelligible so that people wouldnt try to learn it. :P

Hi!

I'm the one who writes and maintains the Elyrion language, and I can tell you that it is technically a conlang.

While inspired by English, it does have syntax and rules and stuff, but it is designed to be intentionally difficult to read/nonsensical to use.

The Elyrion are bizarre, and their language is as bizarre as I could make it to match.

The Polaris are Polytopians like any other.

The Gaami are aliens.
