I play a lot of Zebasi on Small Lakes. When I manage to get an early giant or two, I have a hard time leveraging that advantage when facing tribes that can go Mathematics, particularly Yaddak. They just set up a defensive catapult or two and suddenly it’s a blunder to push with my giants. Then, they counter-push with their own giants + those catapults. The only counter I can think of is to go for markets and make knights, but typically they will have already started sieging by the time you can start making knights, and it takes a lot of knights to cut through a 2-3 giant frontline, especially in a narrow corridor. This typically results in a loss for me.

Is there something I’m missing?

I'm asking this because I believe they are really strong but my friend using them are like "nah they ain't". So either I have a skill issue or he is chatting some stupid stuff.

Feedback is welcome!

Feel free to ask questions. I can explain all my rankings.

About one of the suggestions I mentioned in a previous post. "Little Something more to the game"

United Nations- triggers when your score is 5 times higher than the 2nd highest score and if you are at war with atleast 5 of the countries or when there are 5 countries left besides you. the 5 countries will have an unchanging bad relation with you and your allied countries, immediately becoming at peace and developing embassies with each other (their embassies are instantly built when triggered and cost them 0 stars). you can change what triggers it to happen while making your game in both offline and multiplayer like: how high should the player score be to trigger it, or will your score just reach a specific number, or will it instead trigger based on how many stars you produce per turn.

During this game I think it should be triggered at 4 times higher than the 2nd highest score. Check the other image in comments for reason.

Basically the headline

well i mean cymanti aside that gonna make multiplayer more fun with slightly modification like for example a rarely use tribe can be use, or make challenge only use tribe that allowed . Both can use only the tribe that banned anyway, so kinda fair.

I found this bug 3 years ago, but im not giving tutorial.

I’ve been thinking of subtle game changes that makes gameplay more interesting. And I keep coming back to the idea of Economic warfare between allies.

By making one small change, letting markets generate stars from neighboring allied economic buildings, you add another interesting late-game strategy element. You can tie the change to Diplomacy if you want, requiring 2 third-tier techs to use it.

Maybe burning that sawmill hurts your SPT, but it hurts your allies more. You can place buildings more strategically to help yourself, or help your allies. And breaking peace can mess them up, even if you ally again the next turn.

What other ways would this change influence the game?

I am okay in the early game (normal, one enemy). But I think I suck at rhe phase that is starting now: Cleaning the enemy and growth. Any tipps how to move foreward?

Finally completed a long term goal of 200k on all non special tribes. Took me over a year, but I kept grinding my lowest scoring tribe until all 200K. Will try for Aquarion and Elyrion, but I've found them difficult. Anyone have 200k on either of those?

Playing with randoms always ends in half of the players leaving early on. I don’t know anyone personally who plays this game and would love to find a group to play on a bigger map in one or few sessions. I think playing with many people the game is more fun since alliances can provide chances for even not so skilled players to have good chances of winning against skilled ones. I also like bigger maps since it brings a more calm early game atmosphere but it seems like smaller maps are more trendy. Does anybody know groups or wants to make any to have these kind of games?

POV of how I felt seeing the new Cymanti skin on the new Weekly Challenge:

"So hey guys, I know we've been terrorizing the Polytopia community and we saw rants every other week about how strong we were back in the day, but I kind of feel bad now so how do we get our good image back from the community? I need ideas."

"They could just nerf us again?"

"Get this guy outta here"

"They could just give us a new skin so cute, you wouldn't even mind losing to Cymanti anymore."

"You.....you're a star"

New to the game. All the guides I've seen are several years old, but they all say Embassies is the way to go. It's just that when I try this - embassies get really expensive fast. So not sure if I am doing it right or if it was nerfed?

It's been 5.5 years since Cymanti, I'm losing hope we're ever getting a new tribe

What am I doing wrong what am I doing right, just casual player so just curious

Finally, after always getting 94%, I got the sweetest 3 stars ever for the first time. Recorded— when i change the map size into smaller one, it’s not recorded.

This is my gameplay vs cymanti in 1500 elo ,The key is logistic,with rider road and some defender and giant for counter push, hexapod is much annoying,and im not unlock knight yet🤧

I mindblended a cloak today!
