Press release:
Stockholm, Sweden, May 24, 2022.
The Stockholm-based (Sweden) indie games developer Midjiwan AB today announced with great pride and joy that they have just released the “Diplomacy” update for their popular turn-based strategy game “The Battle of Polytopia”.

The “Diplomacy” is a completely new technology in the Tech Tree, and the update is available right now for free in the latest versions of Polytopia on the App Store, Google Play and Steam!

The technology includes a wide range of unique features that adds a completely new layer of complexity to the gameplay, like Peace Treaties, Embassies, Tribe Relations, and more.

“Diplomacy is the biggest core gameplay update ever for The Battle of Polytopia. It is the result of years of development, testing and hard work,” says Christian Lovstedt, General Manager at Midjiwan AB.

“The update takes our game to the next level of complexity and fun. We can’t wait for players to sink their teeth into all the new features we’ve prepared for them.”

In short, Diplomacy’s new features allow players to form alliances with other humans and AI, build embassies, find player capitals, dispatch spies, and launch sophisticated sneak attacks from what may appear to be nowhere. Players must stay on their toes to master and counter the new set of tools in their arsenal.

The Diplomacy Tech can be used both in single-player and multiplayer. At its core, the technology was made to allow players to team up and take down larger foes. However, when all is said and done, there can only be one winner…

Diplomacy Tech Key features:

Peace Treaties
Become friends with former enemies… until one of you calls it quits. Teammates cannot attack one another and can share roads.

Cloaks
These infiltration specialists are trained in the arts of subterfuge and clandestine operations and arrive armed with two new abilities: Stealth and Infiltrate. Cloaks are invisible to enemy units until they perform an action.

Tribe Relations
With Tribe Relations systems, players can evaluate which tribe they can become friends with. Colored bubbles offer detailed explanations of what the tribes think of them.

Embassies
Diplomatic buildings that can only be built in other tribes’ capitals when players are not at war with them. Embassies reveal the surrounding eight tiles and provide monetary rewards every turn.

Daggers
Rebels incited to action by the Cloak to attack an enemy city. Daggers are the ultimate surprise attack guerrilla warfare units, meaning enemies won’t retaliate when they pounce.

Capital Vision
View the Capital City location of any tribe you’ve encountered. Capital Vision will also take effect when players meet someone new, thus aiding them in making tactical decisions.

The Diplomacy Tech is now available for free in the latest versions of Polytopia on the App Store, Google Play and Steam.
