Counterpoint: deciding that you can train gators to use as a mount is "Suicidal Overconfidence" and getting stuck in the swamp because you lost contact with your empire is a "Story you'll never live down"

I rest my case, The Forgotten are simply evolved Florida men

Hmmmmm 🤔

I guess you make a point.

Yo can't believe they added Florida to Polytopia

We have yet to add "Suicidal Overconfidence" and "Stories you'll never live down" to Polytopia.

Is DLC going to be released 13th too? It is already showing as released in Steam.

The DLC is out now, but it will only show up in the beta branch.

I like the new color + syllables. Can the swamp green show up for other tribes (and can the salmon show up for opposing Aquarion mirrors?)

Yes

Both Swamp and Salmon colors can show up in mirror matches, with or without the Aquarion in play.

Skins are honestly the best thing I’ve ever seen in this game. Really surprised me when I saw them after hiatus. Can’t wait for more!

Why not? Dont mods add life to the community?

They're not something that we want the game to have, and we've asked people to not make them.

I feel that any game dev should have the right to say "please don't do this" and the people should respect it.

No, because we've explicitly asked the fans to not make mods. They're against TOS.

It's been speculated for a while that Vengir's high farm rate is because of the volcanic ash in their territory. Good to see that it's confirmed canon. Although it's apparently also canon that Vengir doesn't know how to farm...

Theyre too busy being angry at life to figure it out.

We already have one.

It's called "Vengir".

Japanese doesn't have a "ks-" sound or an "x" in any of its transliterations, so it's clearly not a Japanese inspired name.

As for Chinese, even though "Xin xi" could theoretically be pinyin, without tone markers it could mean anything from「欣喜」("Xīnxǐ") meaning happy to「信息」("Xìnxī") meaning communicated information (the translation you get from google translate for Xin xi) to non-words like「心西」("Xīn xī"), literally the characters for "heart" and "west".

In all likelihood it's just meant to be nonsense that sounds vaguely like Chinese, like how other tribes are named to sound vaguely like they're in the languages of the cultures they're inspired by (except Imperius which is just Latin with a grammar/spelling mistake).

This is the answer.

Canonically, the Polytaurs aren't the ones piloting the boat. Either Sailors or their handlers are, same for any other unit.

That makes sense, but why can't we have a warning message telling us that we will be playing an older version? I would pick different tribes if I knew, for example, that it was going to be pre-naval update. (If there were a message, I'd probably just opt out of playing that game, but at least I would know.)

Sure, I can remember to check the other player's version on every single game and then opt out if I want to. But that's onerous, and why should the burden be on me instead of the people who fail to update? I think it's fairly obvious that updating is easy (usually automatic, unless you turn it off) and the people playing older versions are often doing so with the intention of hoodwinking their opponents.

Plenty of other online games that have paid content require people to have updated versions for pvp specifically. People should of course be able to play old versions against the computer.

Can you share any more details about the company's thinking on thi...

As of this moment, the answer is "this is still something we're discussing, as it can possibly require dev hours to implement (based on nature of inplementation), but also has potentually larger business ramifications."
