Diplomacy Balance!
Hey Polytopians!

We've been hearing your myriad of opinions on the new Diplomacy tech and the things it contains, both good and bad, and we've made some adjustments based on your feedback!

The biggest point of contention over the new update was the inclusion of Cloaks and Daggers and how they change up the flow of the game. We think change is a good thing, but that doesn't mean we can't improve that change in order to create a more fun experience for everyone! Interestingly enough, there isn't really a consensus about whether they're too strong, too weak, too oppressive, too ineffective, or etc, but we've made an effort to hopefully address all of these opinions at once with these changes! So, without further ado, let's discuss these changes to Cloaks and Daggers.

Hey Polytopians!

It's time to help us test a new beta! This one sees a return of Live Games and Replays, but also adds Lobbies!

If you need a refresher on what new features we're adding in this new beta:

• Live Games - a tight, quick game format where the turn timer is always right on your tail! If you run out of time, you'll get skipped, and 3 skips means you get kicked, so make those moves fast!
  
• Replays - online multiplayer games will now be saved to the cloud, and able to be accessed from the new "Replays" tab in the multiplayer menu! You can share links to the replays for everyone to see that particular replay!
  
• Lobbies - a new way of gathering you friends together for a match. Lobbies are not time restricted, but you pick the tribe wh...
