Hey Polytopians!

Today, we'd like to introduce something that you've all been waiting a long time for - Tribe Skins!

What are Tribe Skins? They're like, Halloween costumes for the tribes, which will cosmetically change an entire tribe's aesthetic from the ground up! New clothes, new buildings, and sometimes even new animals! So, without further ado, let's introduce the first batch of Tribe Skins!

Bardur Baergøff
Bardur who have survived the 5 Tests of Strength are given the rank of Baergøff, meaning “Elite Baerion Hunter”. The sanctified Baerion pelt is thought to let the wearer channel the animal's raw ferocity in battle.

I don’t know if this is a bug or a new feature but it’s making this game mode quite unplayable. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

This sounds like the "10K Might Bug", where someone wins when they hit 10K Points (like Glory).

We fixed this a while ago, so make sure both you and your friend have the latest version.

Surely Civilization 6 doesn’t have the bug tribe though? I think the one big mistake of Polytopia was adding them since — unpopular opinion — they are a colony of bugs not a tribe of people. I always specify no Cymanti when I set the game rules. If they have to stay in they are still way overpowered IMHO. Otherwise a masterpiece of a game.

Officially, the Cymanti are still humanoid, as you can see by their Warriors, Swordsmen, and Shamans.

The bugs have Cymanti handlers, you just don't see them as that'd be a lot of visual clutter.

What does “hinted at” mean?

If you click the link in the original post, you should see a picture of multiple units detecting a Cloak.

“All units can now detect cloaks.” Does this mean they’re going to be visible under all circumstances now?

No, they're not revealed, only hinted at by any adjacent units.

So, no, actually.

The language was meant to be unreadable and ultimately unintelligible on purpose. I wrote it to be as bizarre as I could as a joke. :P

They really need to rethink this update.

Also I find it odd that they are adding even more power to cloaks. They need a way to turn off diplomacy so the game becomes fun again. It's so annoying to clear out daggers turn after turn after turn.

The current changes to Cloaks make them a lot easier to find and much harder to spam, just as many have asked for. :)
