Obvs! Scene: Enter the Square, the bizarre home planet of the Polytopians, a flat, square-shaped landmass drifting in the space of an alternate dimension to ours. A relatively simple and curious folk that has a penchant for fighting, the Polytopians are 16 individual tribes spread out across the Square, each with their own characteristics, motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. As a player, you will take on the role of the ruler of one of these tribes as you attempt to build your civilization in competition with the other tribes. Will you choose to be the leader of the Xin-Xi, reserved yet adventurous traditionalists who are wary of change or outsiders? Perhaps the Hoodrick, who love archery, nature, and mushrooms, and are famed for their baked goods! Or maybe the Bardur, where the local tavern is their favorite place and Ullefurgh their drink choice, a delightful concoction of pine needles, hot water, and rabbit fat. Deeeelicious!! But beware of the Vengir, purple rhino-pig riding warriors who, in between bouts of pillaging, like to sharpen their swords and vacation at the misty Kithkga Boneyards. You really don’t want to get on their bad side!

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

The Battle of Polytopia is a 4X turn-based strategy game. Players take control of a tribe as they work to grow their nation and help it dominate the world. The game is set in a procedurally generated world made of square tiles. At the start, players choose a single tribe from several options, which are inspired by historical culture groups. Each tribe has access to the same technology tree, though they begin the game with a single distinct ability on this tree. Tribes include the Xin-xi, which is based on the civilizations of East Asia and begins with the ability to climb mountains, and the Norse-inspired Bardur, which can hunt animals. Each player begins with a small settlement and a unit that they can use to explore the world map. On their turn, players can move all of their units and spend a resource called stars. Cities generate stars, which can be spent to unlock new abilities on the technology tree, create more units to wage war, or collect materials to upgrade cities and allow them to support more soldiers. Upgrading cities allows the player to choose between one of two benefits, such as allowing the settlement to generate extra stars every turn, or send out a messenger that explores the map. Players gain new cities by conquering villages at set points around the world. The game has two competitive modes: "Domination" and "Perfection". In Perfection, the player has a 30-turn time limit to gain a high score. Points for the score are earned by several activities, such as by exploring the map or collecting materials. Special challenges grant the player powerful buildings that improve cities and give more points. For example, the player could connect several settlements through trade routes to gain one of these buildings. In Domination, the player must defeat all other tribes in combat to achieve victory. The game grants players a rating depending on how many turns they took to defeat their opponents; higher ratings are awarded by achieving victory in a smaller number of turns. The Battle of Polytopia can be played both as a single-player game, or through multiplayer in a local or online setting. In single-player, the tribes are controlled by an AI of varying difficulty. Matches with online multiplayer can be set to be "Ranked", where the player can improve their rank by performing better in games against other players.
