Continents is actually the default map type.

The map types are actually percentages of total water that's put on the map. We give it some rules, like "make sure it's a lake that's surrounded by water" and "don't have as much water as a water world"

We're not forcing it one way or the other when it comes to *where exactly* it puts that water, and having a central lake, or a lake that takes up half the map, or something else are all valid options.

It's Time for the Ai-Mo Tribe Moon!

Post


Ai-Mo society is isolationist and tends to prefer keeping to itself, preferring minimal contact with the other tribes if they can help it. Regular Ai-Moyan border patrols keep the land safe from invaders, like this band of Bardur raiders, who didn't stand a chance!

Hello Polytopians,

It's the Ai-Mo Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the Ai-Mo, our favorite Bardur-fighting isolationists!

We've also got a really cool poster in our webshop for you to buy plus 50% off all Ai-Mo merchandise until the end of the month![shop.midjiwan.com] Come check it out!

Instead of bombarding you with announcements for small changes, we're moving over to a long-running thread that will help us tell you what's being adjusted.

So, if you want to know what's changed, all changelogs will go here. Of course, big updates will still get a proper announcement. Also, this isn't for betas, but public releases.

Update?

Just updated the Unity version, so nothing much.

Had to be done, but wasn't too sure if we should like..."make a big deal over it". 😅

Thank you. It sounds like the game at least runs on the Deck. Are there any plans to add better compatibility in the future?
Yes, we're trying to get this fixed, but we don't have an ETA yet.

Undo move and or use right clicks on PC for movement/attack.

Comment

To be fair, this isn't an RTS.

Right now, we use right-click for deselecting things, as it'd be pretty frustrating for others if they were forced to "always select stuff", since you can select everything on the map, especially the tiles.

Not able to buy skin dlc

Comment

When it comes to Steam, it sounds like a problem sometimes and that you should retry.

If you haven't already, try restarting Steam by fully quitting and starting it up again. If that doesn't work, try verifying the game's files. If neither of those work, tell me, and we'll try new ideas.

It's Time for the Polaris Tribe Week!

Post


A happy relationship exists between the Polaris and the Gaami - the Gaami rule and the Polaris enact their will to freeze over the Square. But, of course, there's bound to be some of those who aren't always the happiest with this arrangement, such as this Polaran dissident trying to flee...

Hello Polytopians,

It's the Polaris Tribe Week, a whole week dedicated to celebrating the Polaris, our favorite frozen friends!

Now, tell us what you think about the Polaris in the comments!

Happy Concordance Day 2022!

Post
Hello Polytopians!

It's Concordance Day, once again! The time we like to dedicate to talking about the Ancient Polytopians, their tyrannical ways, and their downfall which lead to the tribes we have today.

Normally every year around this time, we usually have an art contest where we hand you a blurb about the Ancients and you make some art around it. Well, this year, we've decided to give you all the gift of our own art!

The war was long, the battles were brutal, and the Ancients were slowly losing their grasp on the land. This coalition of upstart tribes had won, and there was no doubt about that. Some say the Ancients weren't actually wiped out that day at the Plains of Razul, but went into hiding to plot their revenge...



There you go!

Happy Concordance Day!
