Skipping 30 Turns In Polytopia Makes Me Want To Cry...

[@nikitadubinin9918]

Try to pick luxidoor next time. They get more stars from the beginning

[@skyethecat7366]

Yeah, especially because other starting techs don’t matter because by turn 30 you can just buy tech

[@kenjinakasehino5937]

Thats actually a very good option. But then you wont have the first Explorer too

[@Nishantmakadiya]

​​@@kenjinakasehino5937does explorer worth more than 30 stars?

[@kenjinakasehino5937]

@@Nishantmakadiya well that depends. It doesnt matter how many stars you have if you cant capture New cities, because of lack of infomation.

[@Skrellder]

I swear bro, 900 tile maps with all tribes on crazy are only difficult because of the sheer amount of resources your body needs to pump into your brain to keep it from shutting down by turn 50.

That 40-unit knight chain was a sight to behold Edit: After watching the video, I can confidently say that I would never attempt this challenge on crazy difficulty. I’ll stick to doing it on easy.

[@GigaLobster]

nah for the fun its awesome on crazy

[@ThePawsketeer]

I blitzkreiged Bardur with more than that, it was a hard battle, they had bombers in their lake with non of my units could advance through quick enough. Thankfully during my blitz, Xin Xi and Imperius helped destroy their ships so I could easily wipe out the last of Bardur’s giants and warriors. That is, before IMPERIUS FREAKING STABBED ME IN THE BACK!!!

[@quirkyqwerty2840]

The best 900 tile maps are just water worlds and archipelagos because with battleships, lower village density, and open seas, there's less unit density and less of the slow tile-by-tile crawl forward. EDIT: the most exciting part of large tile games are the midgame, where you just reach the point where you become the major power of the field. After the point when victory is just a matter of mop-up, the game grows stale.

[@arnaktfen3937]

I play 900-tile drylands maps for fun, although rarely against only bots. On a map that size, the game easily goes on for long enough that every surviving tribe is at or near a full tech tree. As an added bonus, that means that, in the early game, you have to choose between achieving short-term gains and ensuring the very, very long-term success of your tribe. Once we enter the ultra-late game, the real fun begins: optimising small-scale tactical battles to achieve large-scale strategic objectives and backing it all up with a massive logistical system (read: knights on roads from the most distant cities). Finding ways to breach a determined defence or break a bloody stalemate is a lot of fun. It's a puzzle, but without the cooldowns and ads and microtransactions that accompany so many mobile puzzle games.

[@Turtlewax88]

TURN 40: It baffles me that the AI will STILL train a cloak in a city with an ennemy unit right beside it ready to kill it. Same thing for a warrior hitting a defender while staying in its city with 1 hp.

The end just summarizes all massive endgames for 900 tile maps: I see unit- I kill unit. I see city- I take city. I see bot- bot dead

[@tfk_001]

I love playing 900 tile lake maps, usually with around 5-6 enemies. Usually, I stretch 1 game across like a week for mental sanity purposes but I love the development of multiple independent fronts. My main doctrine revolves heavily around knights, mind benders, defenders, and catapults. I try to keep my troop deaths as low as possible and usually wind up with around 97% battle stats at the end of a game, which is why mind benders are used. Additionally, having mind benders existing around cities means I can convert daggers from cloak spam with 0 losses and no pop cap reduction. I still feel as if ai cloak spam is absolutely ridiculous as some matches where I thought I might lose I actually won because AI abandons defense or combined arms attack for cloak spam which is solved by deforestation and knights or mind benders in mountanous terrain

[@purpleperm]

Seeing the size of his capital from all the road connections at the end was just too good 😆

[@benluey734]

That knight chain was SOOOO good. I recently got into polytopia and have been loving ur content. Keep it up! 🙃

[@unyosalvaje3493]

900 tiles maps are fun when you inagine the lore and world building of every city and situation. But yeh the worst part of polytopia is when you know you already won but have to finish off the IAs

[@whitelock1258]

I remember making lore for one of my battles. I believe one bit of it was the Siege of Roffla (I'm a Bardur main), and I was trying to defend an isolated city against an Elyrion onslaught (dragon, battleship, and approx. three catapults). It was a city on the edge of the map, and the enemy catapults were on an island, pelting my units as they spawn. However, there were two brave swordsmen that took out the dragon and bought enough time for my four Titan Battleships¹ to arrive and get rid of the enemy catapults. My opponent resigned afterwards. I will never forget those two swordsmen. ¹: A Giant in a Battleship

[@garikit5909]

@@whitelock1258 They survived?

[@whitelock1258]

@garikit5909 I think one of them died. The swordsman that hit the dragon was knocked down to 7 HP via retaliation damage. It was killed by one of the other enemy ships swarming Roffla. Also, I'm planning on writing something about Lakfla (my lucky city). For some reason, it is a key location in every single one of my games, whether it's a port or a fortress city. Coincidence?

[@noahdevore4039]

I played a 900 tile map with 16 bots on crazy and I spent over 7-10 hrs on it. I also did it on continents and got the smallest and worst continent. It was fun but each turn was like 20 minutes(I think it was 70 turns or so). It was also pre alliances so I couldn’t just focus on 1 tribe and had to fight practically all at once.

[@CEOofAvenia]

In my opinion, Mind Bender is the way to go, Keep him safe and play him right and suddenly you have doubled the size of your army.

[@eggroll5510]

With units like a mind bender, catapult, cloak, etc. Never train only 1. I used to main ai-mo and I'm telling you that 1 mindbender is normal, 2 is rare, 3 a coincidence, 4 assured, 5 unheard off. And 2 mind benders next to each other can double healing and keep each other alive. P. S. I'm happy that people other then me actually use mindbenders cause I used to never see them.

polytopia challenge - ONLY USE CLOAKSS!!!

[@already_takent]

I once survived 100 turns without leaving my capital. Basically I got a defender, city walls on my capital and hoped that the bots won't kill me for 100 turns. Then I proceeded to kill everybody. Idk, sounds like a good video idea.

[@already_takent]

Just to be clear: you can do whatever you want with your stars, but no unit can leave the capital until turn 100. So you could technically disband your starter warrior and get a giant. That's actually better than holding on with a defender. Now that I'm thinking about it, my idea is not really fun. At least the title of the video can be interesting.
