It just means that they're not supported by a city, as in, they don't take up a slot. Polytaurs have this as well.

What platform is your friend using? Android, PC, Mac, or iOS?

What don't you like about the update?

Maybe we can explain a few things. :)

Hey Polytopians!

As you’ve probably noticed, the Path of the Ocean Update is going to be released fully on the 21st[polytopia.io], and that means we’re in the process of finalizing the update and its many changes. In this particular update, we’re adding all of the new changes to both Android and iOS testing programs, so now everyone can join in on the fun!

We’re going to keep this post fairly short, as most changes are bug fixes and not new content. Since you’ve probably been following these updates pretty intently, we won’t need to fill you in on the details just yet, but if you’r... Read more

No, you are not, sadly. Mobile and PC are two separate accounts, and their purchases/games/scores don't cross over in any way.

You are able to crossplay with other players who might be on mobile/Steam, though.

Do note, this pattern was never a thing.

They'll be done when they're done.

There are no current plans for a unified account system.

Android and Steam will remain fully separate accounts.

Hey Polytopians!

We’re back with a brand new major beta update for you, the aptly named “Path of the Ocean” (formerly known as “the Naval Rework”)! We’ve taken some time to pretty much fully rework how the naval game is played, adding new units, mechanics, and poking everything that merely looks at the water! Battleship Spam™ is dumb, and we can promise you that it’s now a thing of the past!
To keep things simple and quick on our side, the beta test will only be available on Steam, and you can find instructions on how to join the beta at the bottom of this post.

We’ll be laying out this post like this:
  1. Tech Tree Changes[//]

Yes, that's the case.

No, we don't have any plans to change it.

Live Games are designed to keep games short. You can't turn off the timer, as that'd defeat the purpose.

You may want to play 24 hour games instead.
