No one could have expected what happened on that fateful day as a band of Polytopians ventured into the Cymantini Forest, forever to be changed by their encounter with the Ciru Bug. Normally parasites, the Ciru Bugs now live in mutualism with their new hosts, lending their enhanced senses for food and protection.

No one really remembers why the Hoodrick and the Bardur split apart so long ago, but this split formed one of the Square's most special and bitter inter-tribal rivalries. Ranging from brutal raids to petty displays of superiority, the Hood-Bard Rivalry shows no signs of stopping any time soon.

Hello, Polytopians!

It’s time for Balance Pass 2! We’re making some big changes and we’d like to take some time to talk about them!

Release notes for release 2.0.58
General Balance:
-Increase income for clearing forest to 2*
-Increase price of knight to 10*
The change to forest chopping has been getting some mixed results, so we thought to get the best of both worlds by keeping tree chopping in Free Spirit so that tech power is more easily managed, but bringing it up to 2* for increased usefulness, which should make it viable again.
