Glad you enjoyed it

I’ve had so much fun messing around with this update while it was in beta! I’m so glad other tribes have the ability to use splash damage, and I absolutely love the Juggernauts! One thing I think the devs could look at is parks giving +2 stars potentially. Not choosing to get a Giant for 1 extra star narrows the gap of value a little bit but I don’t think it’s enough. Or it could also potentially just give stars like the resources upgrade on top of the +1 to the capital. Very well done video!

I’ll add my 2 cents. I think the 1 star is actually balanced. Come late game on larger maps it’s usually more of a hassle to spawn Giants and have to lug them all the way to where the action is currently happening. I think this is a great addition!

Naval combat in Polytopia definitely needed a rework. It was pretty boring before, being just a game of who can spam more battleships, and giant battleships were OP imo. It's nice to see the game having multiple different naval units that aren't direct upgrades from each other, like Hexonia. I haven't had the chance to check it out yet, but it looks like naval combat will be more fun now. I'm a bit sceptical about the balance changes though. As a Bardur main myself, I can say that the tribe was definitely OP, but I'm not sure if increasing lumber hut cost is the way to go. This will affect every tribe, not just Bardur, and will also have a significant effect on Hoodrick (the other tribe with lots of forests in their territory), who do not need to be nerfed. A better solution would be to simply reduce the forest spawn rate in Bardur land. That being said, I'm yet to find out how much of a difference the lumber hut changes make - I'm hoping Bardur is now equal in strength with other tribes rather than being completely nerfed to the ground. As for the increase in road price, that is just dumb imo. Connecting a city to your capital with a road now costs 6 stars AT BEST, and you only get 2 population from doing so (one for your capital and one for the city you are connecting). This is hardly even worth it. Less population per stars spent than building other improvements eg. mines, or gathering resources. If cities need more than 2 tiles of road to connect, even post-nerf lumber huts are a cheaper way to get population than roads. Also, RIP Yaddak... another tribe that did not need to be nerfed, but has probably been nerfed to the ground by this update. Rider roads were one of the most effective strategies for fighting against Cymanti, with their boosted Hexapods. How do we deal with them now that we can't rely on roads being only 1 star?

i only play Yadaak so i'm biased against the roads nerf but it really was an overpowered tech. Rider+roads was essential for every match. 3 stars is a fairer price for the benefits roads offer. Other changes to fix the new balance problems will come soon enough (namely Cymanti). one step to improve Hoodrick is to improve Archers. One idea i have is to give them 3 range if they don't move. If you move and then shoot, it's 2 range like before; if you stand still, 3 range. Call the ability "Accuracy".

really cool update, playing this game since 2018 time to time and i really love to see that developers still working on it

I think I noticed a change to Cyamnti that isn’t mentioned anywhere. Unless I’m just mis-remembering, the Centipede used to be able to move, then still be able to explode a segment; however now when you move it prevents the segment from exploding (similarly to how it won’t explode if you attack with the centipede head first). I don’t see any mention of this change, or was it always like this and I just never noticed untill now somehow >->
