Midjiwan has unleashed a significant update for The Battle of Polytopia: a complete overhaul of the Aquarion Tribe. This marks a substantial rework of the game's first special tribe, originally introduced in 2017.
Aquarion's Aquatic Transformation
The Aquarion units have received a dramatic makeover. Land units now boast mermaid tails, making them amphibious or fully aquatic. This grants them effortless water traversal, although their movement on land is somewhat slower. A new flooded terrain feature allows land and naval units to occupy the same spaces for the first time, revolutionizing strategic gameplay.
Buildings have also adapted to their new aquatic environment. Construction on water is now possible, and Lost Cities are hidden within deep-sea ruins, providing ideal bases for water-based warfare. A new structure, the Atoll, connects water cities, eliminating the need for roads. Aqua Crops, a permanent addition to the Aquarion arsenal, function similarly to their land-based counterparts.
New Aquatic Creatures Join the Fray
The update introduces several new sea creatures. Sharks provide surprise attacks, puffers offer long-range bombardment, and jellies unleash electric shocks. Returning favorites, the Tridentions and Crabs, also feature enhancements; Crabs now flood tiles they traverse, synergizing perfectly with the mermaid-tailed troops. See the changes in action here:
