The Battle of Polytopia has injected a thrilling new competitive element: Weekly Challenges! This exciting addition to the 4X strategy game provides a fresh and engaging way to test your skills.

From Randomness to Rigorous Competition

Polytopia’s charm lies in its unpredictable nature—the ever-changing mix of enemies, resources, and maps keeps each playthrough unique. However, this free update introduces a structured competitive mode. Each week, every player receives the same map, tribe, and identical starting conditions. The objective? Maximize your score within 20 turns. You get one attempt per day, limiting you to a maximum of seven attempts per week.

This new feature offers a chance to experience tribes you may not own. The game boasts 16 tribes—four included in the base game and twelve available for purchase. But in Weekly Challenges, everyone plays as the same tribe, regardless of ownership.

Will Weekly Challenges Elevate Polytopia's Excitement?

The new mode also incorporates a League system, adding another layer of strategic depth. Starting in the Entry League, players ascend (or descend) based on their weekly performance. The top third moves up, the bottom third down, while the middle remains unchanged. The difficulty also scales with your league progression, starting with Easy AI in Entry League and escalating to Crazy difficulty AI in Gold League. Missing a week won’t demote you, but your ranking will adjust based on other players’ progress.
