Weekly Challenges: The Battle of Polytopia's New Game Mode

The Battle of Polytopia has just spiced up its gameplay with the introduction of Weekly Challenges, offering a fresh and exciting way to test your skills in this beloved 4X strategy game. Let's dive into what this new feature brings to the table.

It Was Random Before

Previously, randomness was a key element in The Battle of Polytopia, with varying enemies, resources, and maps keeping every game session unpredictable. However, the latest free update brings a more structured competitive edge to the mix.

Each week, all players are given the same map, tribe, and gameplay conditions, creating a level playing field. The challenge? Achieve the highest possible score within 20 turns. You're allowed one attempt per day, totaling a maximum of seven tries per week. This new feature is a fantastic opportunity to experiment with tribes you might not yet own. The game boasts 16 tribes in total—four available in the base game and twelve more that can be purchased for $1-4 each. But here's the best part: in The Battle of Polytopia Weekly Challenges, everyone gets to play as the same tribe, regardless of ownership.

Will Weekly Challenges Make The Battle of Polytopia More Exciting?

Absolutely, the Weekly Challenges add a thrilling competitive layer to the game. Alongside this, a new League system has been introduced. Everyone starts in the Entry League, and your performance each week determines whether you move up, move down, or stay in the same league. The top third of players advance, the bottom third are relegated, and the middle third remain in their current league.

As you progress through the leagues, the difficulty ramps up. In the Entry League, you'll face AI on Easy difficulty, but by the time you reach the Gold League, you'll be pitted against Crazy difficulty bots. Missing a week won't result in demotion, but your ranking will adjust based on the performance of other players.

Ready to take on the Weekly Challenges? You can experience this new feature by downloading The Battle of Polytopia from the Google Play Store.
