The Battle of Polytopia has just spiced up its 4X strategy gameplay with the introduction of Weekly Challenges, offering players a fresh and structured way to test their skills. Let's dive into what this new feature entails and how it might elevate your gaming experience.
It Was Random Before
Previously, The Battle of Polytopia thrived on its randomness, with varied enemies, resources, and maps keeping every game session unpredictable. However, the latest free update brings a more organized approach to competition.
Each week, players are presented with the same map, tribe, and gameplay conditions. The challenge? You have 20 turns to achieve the highest score possible. You're allowed just one attempt per day, capping at seven tries per week. This new mode also lets you experience tribes you may not yet own, expanding your gameplay options.
The Battle of Polytopia features 16 tribes in total—four included in the base game and twelve more that can be purchased for $1-4 each. But with Weekly Challenges, everyone competes using the same tribe, regardless of ownership.
Take a look at the latest trailer released by the developers to get a better feel for the new mode:
Will Weekly Challenges Make The Battle of Polytopia More Exciting?
Absolutely, the introduction of Weekly Challenges is poised to inject new excitement into The Battle of Polytopia. Alongside this, the game now features a League system. You start in the Entry League, and your performance each week determines whether you move up, stay put, or drop down. The top third of players advance, the bottom third descend, and the middle remains unchanged.
As you progress through the leagues, the difficulty level ramps up. In the Entry League, you face AI on Easy difficulty, but by the time you reach the Gold League, you're pitted against Crazy difficulty bots. If you miss a week, you won't be demoted, but your ranking will adjust based on the performance of others.
