The Battle of Polytopia has injected a thrilling new competitive element: Weekly Challenges. This exciting addition offers a fresh way to test your strategic prowess in this beloved 4X game.
From Randomness to Structured Competition
Polytopia’s charm lies in its unpredictable nature—shifting enemies, fluctuating resources, and ever-changing maps. However, a free update introduces a structured competitive mode. Each week, all players face identical conditions: the same map, the same tribe, and the same gameplay parameters. The goal? Achieve the highest score within 20 turns. Players get one attempt per day, limiting participation to a maximum of seven tries per week.
This innovative feature allows players to experience tribes they may not own. With 16 tribes in total (four base game tribes and twelve purchasable tribes), Weekly Challenges offer a level playing field, letting everyone compete with the same tribe regardless of ownership.
Will Weekly Challenges Elevate Polytopia’s Excitement?
The new mode also incorporates a League system. Players begin in the Entry League, ascending (or descending) based on their weekly performance. The top third advances, the bottom third drops, and the middle remains in place. The difficulty scales with league progression, starting with Easy AI in the Entry League and culminating in Crazy difficulty AI in the Gold League. Missing a week won't result in demotion, but your ranking will adjust based on other players' performance.
Download the game from the Google Play Store to experience this exciting new feature firsthand. In the meantime, check out our news coverage on hololive’s first-ever global mobile game, Dreams.
