I don't have a code for beta, so I'll just wait for proper release. Did you add customizable keybinds in options menu?
We did not, sadly.

And the code for beta is "polytopiabetatesters"

So, this is how it was originally, but fans told us that because Offense was always at a loss to Defense, no one ever wanted to break peace, and the game would just turn into stalemates.

Since we didn't want Offense to simply steamroll Defense with a war declaration, we compromised. Offense can't attack right after declaring war, but then, Defense can't hit back on the first turn. Offense still gets the upper hand, but Defense has time to prepare.

Are you in the beta program?

If not, please use the beta access code: experiencecmtourneys

We'd love to hear if the beta fixes this issue.

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
    Zoythrus™ on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
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.
