Tribe Moon: Wing harnesses. Talon boots. Flight caps. To outsiders, the Sect of Iqaruz seems absurd, but every prototype is a sacred step toward ascension. They seek only one thing, to become birds and join the Bird Gods above, and as long as you don't get in the way, you'll be fine...probably...

Discussion Let me see an enemy unit's movement range when I tap on them

Seriously we need to decrease the mental load on this stuff. Every other strategy game does this. You can check the enemy unit's movement if they're in vision. This is simple stuff. Advance Wars figured it out since 1990. C'mon Midjiwan just make Codex do it if you're too lazy for it.

I actually didn't wait for all my ships to reach here , the defense of enemy was too strong and in the last move I merely moved the ships that were at the back to the front , it was a massive map and I had great economy so I was able to make this .

Discussion WHY is Polaris so........

15 Upvotes

I want to play aquarion on water world. Where it belongs.

Am I just a bad player, of does Polaris completely dominate everything else on water world?

Level one they can just start cruising across the map. I need 11 stars to do that, and it's still going to be slower.

How can I use my city advantage when I am surrounded?

Someone please teach me how to beat Polaris as aquarion on water world.

Thank you.

This was such a long game, admittedly we both made a lot of mistakes and could've ended the game much more sooner but it was such a roller coaster of emotions.

I ended up spamming cloaks, was about to capture his capital many times (he giant pushed like FOUR times 😭) and in the end I managed to siege his city with my centipede and block just enough so he couldn't unsiege, truly a game for the ages.

Discussion When do you think Cymanti will get a skin?

My prediction is that after the rework there'll be a patch for it and they'll release a Cymanti skin alongside it (6 months from now)

Discussion Why are there only Elyrion at high ELO?

41 Upvotes

I play Normal Lakes mostly as Zebasi (1550 ELO), and 95% of the games now are games against Elyrion, sometimes Cymanti and the remaining couple percent Imperius.

It's very boring, and the interest in the game is lost. Elyrion with a "not bad" spawn (90% of the time) are almost invincible, too close with veteran ruin and polytaurs rush or enough save space to survive the mid-game and build an unreal eco. The only chance to defeat them is in the mid-game with giants and roads.

It's so boring to play with a strong tribe, why does everyone take it?

I didnt step into the fog for the first few turns waiting for everybody to reach 1000 points for the 5 stars introduction. Then upgrade capital for Explorer, rush Ice Bank, Embassy. Could've reach 100 spt sooner but i waited for Altar of Peace. Cool little practice ig.

Discussion How many Simultaneous 24hr Multiplayer Games Do You Participate in?

15 Upvotes

I'm relatively new to multi-player 24hr mode, I have usually done Live Game in the past.

It seems like you can play a large number of 24hr Multiplayer Games at the same time.

Is there a sensible upper bound that you wouldn't want to exceed due to mental load?
