So, you’re starting to get pretty good at Polytopia. You’ve fought countless battles against bots, but now you’re ready to take it up a notch and fight some human opponents, or maybe you just want a new way to play. In order to play Multiplayer Battles on Polytopia, you need to first purchase a tribe. But which tribe should you pick? It may seem difficult to narrow down your choices, so I’m here to help. Let me first say there is no tribe that will absolutely guarantee your victory, but there are certainly tribes that are better than others. The tribe you buy all depends on your preferred playstyle.

Polaris, It was the second tribe i bought and id say it has payed off so much more than its cost! Most games i play with it i dessimate the enemy team! my second pick is yadack! There has never been a game where i lost as yadack! with them i even recovered from a trideon rush from aqaurion! once you get as many roads as possible you are unbeatable!

My favorite tribe is Aquarion because when you combine Customs Houses with rushing Spearing, you end up with a really powerful Tridention swarm.

Probably Polaris, but Vengir and Elyrion are pretty high up there. Polaris is my favourite tribe, because you can pretty much freeze the front lines of the enemy and slowly chop their troops away, and as soon as you have 2 Gaamis in one spot, it is very hard to beat that, unless the enemy already has a few catapults or ~4 knights

Yaddak is one of my favorites for playing against players because the roads give you superior mobility and a human player doesn't normally expect you to be able to have such high mobility in the early game
@mistermonologue2442
2 жыл бұрын
True, you never really expect Yaddak to be coming and if you get to the center of a small map first yaddak can suddenly show up and take the center in one move while seeing what's on the squares around the whole city. It can be devastating.
@GoblinSlayer8009
7 ай бұрын
Yaddak is really strong economical tribe, because trade tech goes right after roads, you can make economy jump early on and road connections can be useful in attack and defence. But they are weak to rush’s attacks, because they can’t upgrade their capital fast.
your video in a summary: Kickoo(econimic): a tribe thats starts with the fishing tech and is as you sad a very decent purchase if you focus on the economical approach. In the early game you should play him passively until you get ports and roads. Instead of attacking you should level up your city fast. Hoodrick(passive): Hoodrick starts with the archers tech and thats why its almost impossible to play him too agressive like vengir. upgrade your city in the early game and go for the warrior-archer combo bc its very affective against earlygame fights. Luxidoor(everything): Luxidoor starts with an upgraded city and has a massive advantage. He can pick if he wants to play passively, agressive or econimical beacuse of his headstarts. The best way playing luxidoor is upgrading your city as fast as possible, get a giant, play very agressive and defeat nearby enemys. Vengir(agressive): Vengir is the most agressive tribe and stars with a swordsman and the smithery tech. The best way to master him is to train another swordsman and go to the next cities of the enemys to capture them. Most powerful in the early game but in the midgame he has a lack of gold and tech and he is hard to master because he cant focus econimical like other tribes. Zebasi(econimic): they start with farming and on a terrain with barely any mountains. Like Kickoo they are easy to play and the best way to play them is get riding except you are on a small map or playing a gainst at least 7 bots. if they have at least 3 cities its very easy to dominate from early game to the end. Ai-Mo(passive): Ai-Mo is a passive tribe because they start with meditation. Bc of that its unlikely that they dominate the early game. They become powerful in the midgame when they build defenders and swordsman. Quetzali(passive):With Quetzalis shield tech its impossible to play agressive. Thats why they almost never die in the early game. But they are hard to master because of the dryland and lack of ressources. In the midgame its very hard to survive with this tribe so level up your city and build a city wall just in case becose swordsman and catapults can counter shields easily. Yădakk(explorer): Yădakk starts with roads and you want to have the most citys in the game as possible. They have good ressources to level up their city almost every time to level 2. The best way you play him is too build riders and roads. But aspecially the workshop instead of explorer because much cities with low gold income can be stressful and often goes with a "Game Over". Aquarion(Hard-to-play): Aquarion is just bad and thats why he is very hard to master. They start with no tech and different knights and giants but it takes too long to get them. I prefer using him passively until he can build ports and spam knights. Elyrion(Hard-to-play): Elyrions playstyle depends on the current situation. If its a small map or many tribes in a game play him agressive but if its a large map with less than 5 enemys or if he is on an island play him econmically and build sanctuary to nearby forests and animals to have an head start like luxidoor in the early game. And also defend his dragon egg until its a baby dragon. Polaris(agressive): Polaris can easily dominate the early game and can hold it to end game if used correctly. Get his city to level 2 at least and go for polarism when on an island alone. Otherwise go with archery and polar warfare. And please dont use your super unit to agresiviely because catapults counter them with ez

You didn’t mention Ai-mo in this video, but I think that they’re decent. I mean, they always seem to start with 2+ of the same starting resource, and after 5 turns of not attacking, you get 3 population. Of course this is a very weak early tribe, but the land they start with has a good amount of resources to work with, and can do well long term. Edit: Ai-mo is not my favorite tribe though.

I was considering getting Kickoo or Zebasi. I think I've decided on Zebasi after learning all the money from buying Zebasi goes towards building solar panels. I also like Luxidoor but they cost more money than any other tribe. I was also trying to find a tribe for my friend he's an Oumaji main and I think he'll like Yadakk because he always forgets to get roads and doesn't like to use other slower-moving units.

Wow this is really helpful thanks Anyway I'ma use bardur cus look cooler.
in my personal opinion, Ai-Mo is underrated as hell. Not only do you get the pacifist mission early, you can also rush philosophy, which will then make it easier for you to capture cities without having to worry about upgrades.
Ai moi are incredible, with meditation and philosopy they can have defense in mountain, a monument easily, mage and -20% for comptences, its very powerful

Kickoo,Zebasi, and luxidoor rely most on a strong economy. vengir, Polaris, elyrion, and hostility depend on aggression the most, yadack is the fastest expanding and best music tribe, ai mo, quetzal, and Aquarian’s success depends on development for the first ~10 turns, and that’s it for tribes you have to purchase
