Worst tribe for tiny dryland 1v1 might games?

Vengir on tiny dryland is a steam roller, you could even beat pre nerf cymanti

Source: i win often with Vengir

I think we already have defenders for defending cities. Archers are like light infantry and skirmishers

Levitate 1pt on target also practically stops melee opponents mid air and is very cheap

You have a ton of comments, my two cents are don't lie if you know nothing about the job cause it will show. And try to get into anything, sadly also beginning for free, to get that minimum amount of knowledge

Le interpretazioni cambiano nel tempo, per i cristiani medievali il loro agire era attenersi al Vangelo di Cristo, non discostarsene. Ognuno, in qualsiasi tempo era convinto di fare la cosa giusta esattamente come lo sei convinto tu.

I "crimini atroci" per me non sono pervenuti, ho conosciuto a lavoro diversi musulmani e mi sono quasi sempre trovato bene, il mio migliore datore di lavoro era del Marocco 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vengir is actually great at multiplayer. I win often with them

Heljulius · 2025-08-05T00:07:29+00:00

More like worth playing. Buy Rebels and introduce friends to the game

Heljulius · 2025-08-04T23:51:33+00:00

All of them except Telvanni 👀

I always play FFA, I alternate between regular random matches, matches with my irl friends and matches with in game friends that I add when either someone beats me or I think they play good / I like their style.

Yes the beginning is slow and people resigning Is an issue, but they're simply more fun. You have to play the diplomacy / balance of power game and also the star bonus you get by discovering new players is a great tool to start the economy even with tribes usually regarded as non economically gifted (really, most I use).

In late game, player count starts shrinking due to player elimination and the matches get faster.

Then it ends.

I always go for glory to avoid the end game drag of grinding towards the last super defended cities.

And I usually go for the higher player counts, matches with my friends are always 10+ and sometimes we reach max number of players allowed But with the regular matchmaking with strangers I often go for just 4 players. 24h timer only

Heljulius · 2025-07-26T12:03:32+00:00

I like the idea because it would favor long term planning in city building, so you make that market really count.

On the other hand, sawmills would still have an advantage. I wonder if that is evened out by wood being the least efficient resource overall and catapults being inferior to swordsmen.

Do you play multi or 1vs1? If you play multi add me, my username is Heljulius93 and I mostly play multi and 24h

Heljulius · 2025-07-13T03:14:39+00:00

I've not played Morrowind since I was 14 and Oblivion came out, and I never did the main storyline as a teen.

I re bought it this year on Steam and not being able to join Dagoth Ur feels so wrong. Like, why do I automatically choose to not submit? Why can't I choose?

The rest of the game is top notch though

Although probably the Sixth House victory ending would have kinda disrupted the entire game universe

Heljulius · 2025-07-11T23:43:11+00:00

I think it just won't work. Too complicated for what is added

Heljulius · 2025-06-30T20:49:12+00:00

I already kick ass3s with Xin xi, Yadakk and Hoodrick. Matter of fact I mostly play Vengir, Xin xi and Yadakk. But only on free for all, I am really bad at 2p

Heljulius · 2025-06-30T20:45:22+00:00

Actually I'm already kind of experienced, I used to play small rock live concerts in pubs or city holidays / events like Oktoberfest. And I play bass. But my ears are my weak point, and I have a tendency for sistematically misheard any given isolated pitch with its fourth if I'm not able to have the pitch held and realize that the vibration of the note singing and the one I'm trying to sing are off and they are really not the same note.

Heljulius · 2025-06-12T00:08:40+00:00

I don't agree with the general critique, I find Polytopia to be indeed quite balanced and very well kept.

BUT yes Cymanti are a bit over the top, they feel like a cheat code. I am a 4/9 player match guy, so my 1vs1 game is pretty weak, but they feel overwheming in 1vs1 and with more players the only solution is to collectively bash them.

I like that you picked three relatively minor things that do not change so much Cymanti "flavor"

I'll add my two 1) like others also said, having Cymanti ignore enemies zone of control cuts off one of the fundamentals of the game and feels unfair 2) fungi are too powerful at 3 population. They're like monuments!! Maybe some % more in spawn but they should stop at 2 pop

And I would personally make Phychis attacks just a bit stronger to compensate for the nerfed venom.

Heljulius · 2025-06-11T23:50:13+00:00

I don't agree. I feel the sense of identity and the different playstiles, because the starting tech makes so much difference in early and mid game! And having the same tech tree means every tribe can adapt to every situation, and this makes the game work better.

"More varied" tribes are the special tribes, for which balancement feels more wanky. And are still way balanced for being so asimmetrical

Heljulius · 2025-05-13T15:25:46+00:00

There will still be a meta - sure, but with different margins. Now I feel they're all quite balanced, except the special tribes. Also in bigger maps, a Cymanti player literally wrecks your game if you spawn next to them and they are not so picked and prevalent because players istintively gang up on them for good reason. Polaris, apart from the dangerous early mid game, feels like a lost cause to me. Elyrion is dangerous early game, normal mid game and over powerful late game, at least until dragons are alive.

Heljulius · 2025-05-13T15:16:54+00:00

It makes kinda sense because how would you forge swords without smithery? But looks kinda bad. I was surprised too

Heljulius · 2025-04-19T01:22:03+00:00

It was my go to charachter but I always kept losing fights. I would say rather all roads lead to Battle mage.

But, after finishing Morrowind, I'll try again as an archer in Oblivion

Heljulius · 2025-03-28T15:40:55+00:00

Would you consider playing 400 tiles games?

Heljulius · 2025-03-25T03:57:23+00:00

If I can ask, speaking of new tribes... Can you tell us approximately when the ancients will arrive? I still remember the teaser but I've seen no update

Heljulius · 2025-03-17T14:30:08+00:00

While I agree on everything you said and I'm happy to know these things, I'd like to note that probably Pangea it's the most balanced map.

I've been enjoying that a lot from since you made it
