Well, it manages to beat some people. :)

It does cheat, but actually very little. Just enough to give it a chance.

Midjiwan is a big Civ fan, and this game was directly inspired by the Civilization series.

While not necessarily based on 1, it is based on the series as a whole. We encourage you to give it a shot!

Those are mutually exclusive.

"Live Game" is what it is *because* of turn timers, as it's inspired by chess clocks.

If you want nearly unlimited time, use the 24 hour option.

We'll be pushing out a patch soon that should improve this a little. :)

All but the Special tribes.

We added crossplay about a year ago.

Yes, the Special tribes will be getting skins, just like the Regular tribes.

We don't have an ETA yet, but we can promise that we're working on them.

Well, that's interesting. Can you send me some pictures and more details at [email protected]?

We've been having some server trouble recently, but we're working hard to get it resolved.

Sorry about that.

Originally posted by Loyaltea: Update. So now Polytopia has partly reverted my oppositions turn. I was watching them play and closed Polytopia before my turn started. When I went back a few hours later, (Huge map, long turns) some of my adversaries troop movements, (that I WATCHED happen), are no longer reality, the units they moved are back on their original cells and it says they are still playing, even though it says they are offline. I tried to restart Polytopia to see if that fixes the problem, and it wouldn't connect... again. So i restarted my computer. Same result.

We've been having some issues with our servers, and are doing what we can to get them stable again.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience.

Sounds like one. Are you using PC, Mac, or Linux?

We'll be keeping an eye on them and will make changes in the future if we feel they need it.

Update 2.8.4.11684 Changelog:

Skin Pack #4 includes the following skins:
- Ai-Mo To-Lï
- Yădakk Ürkaz
- Quetzali Iqaruz

So, no, the Steam version is bundled with all the Regular tribes, so there's no need to transfer things.

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.
