I love it

Thank you for this awesome game I love it and thank you for all the updates and other stuff plus who ever that dude who came up with the Viking thing I love it plus main city could be like Valhalla which is well Viking for the giant battle field in the sky plus there could be an upgrade that when one dies they become like zombies with high health but 0 damage but the ability to explode but a limit like 5 only or else I could think of some ways to make it op

Good game but laggy

I enjoy the daily challenges but the game is often very laggy.

Incredible Game

I got addicted to this game for a while, it’s so good. I leaped with joy when I realized that it was on Apple Arcade. It’s a very simple version of those other turn-based games, and I would consider the game to be a great introduction to turn-based strategy, as the big games are certainly frustrating at first.

Incredible as this game is, there is a lopsided tribe. At first, the worst tribe was Yadakk until they got a +2 star buff. The new worst tribe is also the most expensive tribe, the Luxidoor. They start with nothing and the capital has zero of the benefits that every city has a right to. My solution to this disastrous effect is quite simple–when the game begins, allow the player to choose all the upgrade bonuses that the city would normally get if upgraded on its own. This would boost this worst tribe to one of the best, living up to its title as the most expensive tribe. Please, I beg, insert this solution. Remove all their starting stars if you have to, but they need this.

I also wish that the avatar creator wasn’t randomized, I had to do an incredible number of spins before I got the character I had in mind.

Other than that, it’s a fantastic game, bravo.

The Best Strategy Game

There are many metrics you can use to measure the worth of a strategy game. IMO Polytopia does very well on all of these.

Great game, two ideas…

I love the game! I like how there’s a city development side of things and a battlefield strategy side too! I just had two ideas that I wanted to suggest. (1) It would be cool if you had the option to set lasting alliances between tribes before starting the game. For example: you could have a dozen tribes go to war 6v6 as two great factions! On the other hand, if you’re feeling gutsy, you could go rouge and have the entire square unite against you! Then afterwards you could finish the game when one alliance emerges victorious! (2) Level maker mode would be awesome! You start with a square made completely of deep sea tiles, and then you could add land, shallow waters, and more! These were just two thoughts that I wanted you guys to hear. Thank you for your consideration, and keep up the good work! :)
