Polytopia - Which Tribe Should You Buy? | The Battle of Polytopia Ultimate Tribe Buying Guide 

Question: which tribe is your favorite and why?

When he doesn’t mention Quetzali: *Sad Bird Noises*

'No tribe will give you a significant advantage' Tier list: are you sure about that?

5:10 look at the city's name

Ai-mo and Quitzali: are we a joke to you?

Yaddak is one of my favorites for playing against players because the roads give you superior mobility and a human player doesn't normally expect you to be able to have such high mobility in the early game

must say, your videos are looking great especially with all those effects and transitions that you've put here in this video. good job!!!

your video in a summary: Kickoo(econimic): a tribe thats starts with the fishing tech and is as you sad a very decent purchase if you focus on the economical approach. In the early game you should play him passively until you get ports and roads. Instead of attacking you should level up your city fast. Hoodrick(passive): Hoodrick starts with the archers tech and thats why its almost impossible to play him too agressive like vengir. upgrade your city in the early game and go for the warrior-archer combo bc its very affective against earlygame fights. Luxidoor(everything): Luxidoor starts with an upgraded city and has a massive advantage. He can pick if he wants to play passively, agressive or econimical beacuse of his headstarts. The best way playing luxidoor is upgrading your city as fast as possible, get a giant, play very agressive and defeat nearby enemys. Vengir(agressive): Vengir is the most agressive tribe and stars with a swordsman and the smithery tech. The best way to master him is to train another swordsman and go to the next cities of the enemys to capture them. Most powerful in the early game but in the midgame he has a lack of gold and tech and he is hard to master because he cant focus econimical like other tribes. Zebasi(econimic): they start with farming and on a terrain with barely any mountains. Like Kickoo they are easy to play and the best way to play them is get riding except you are on a small map or playing a gainst at least 7 bots. if they have at least 3 cities its very easy to dominate from early game to the end. Ai-Mo(passive): Ai-Mo is a passive tribe because they start with meditation. Bc of that its unlikely that they dominate the early game. They become powerful in the midgame when they build defenders and swordsman. Quetzali(passive):With Quetzalis shield tech its impossible to play agressive. Thats why they almost never die in the early game. But they are hard to master because of the dryland and lack of ressources. In the midgame its very hard to survive with this tribe so level up your city and build a city wall just in case becose swordsman and catapults can counter shields easily. Yădakk(explorer): Yădakk starts with roads and you want to have the most citys in the game as possible. They have good ressources to level up their city almost every time to level 2. The best way you play him is too build riders and roads. But aspecially the workshop instead of explorer because much cities with low gold income can be stressful and often goes with a "Game Over". Aquarion(Hard-to-play): Aquarion is just bad and thats why he is very hard to master. They start with no tech and different knights and giants but it takes too long to get them. I prefer using him passively until he can build ports and spam knights. Elyrion(Hard-to-play): Elyrions playstyle depends on the current situation. If its a small map or many tribes in a game play him agressive but if its a large map with less than 5 enemys or if he is on an island play him econmically and build sanctuary to nearby forests and animals to have an head start like luxidoor in the early game. And also defend his dragon egg until its a baby dragon. Polaris(agressive): Polaris can easily dominate the early game and can hold it to end game if used correctly. Get his city to level 2 at least and go for polarism when on an island alone. Otherwise go with archery and polar warfare. And please dont use your super unit to agresiviely because catapults counter them with ez

Doesn’t mention Ai-Mo and makes Aquarion look useable, 0/10. Actually it’s a well made video good job

I really like the hunting tree and having my terrain full of forests with the Archery tech, so I went Hoodrick. Love them so much. Just play who you want, they all are synonymous to a good time *except for Vengir-*

You can pick whatever tribe you want, because they all have their bonuses and playstyles Not hoodrick

With ai mo you can unlock mindbenders and also reduce the cost of future technologies by 33%. You also get the pacifist bonus if you don’t attack for 5 turns which basically means free population

4:29 Hoodrick ftw! Also sweet editing GullYY!

I'm glad you mentioned how great the yadakk music is! It gets stuck in my head for weeks every time I play as them

I finally found a RU-vid channel that has polytopia in it :D

Amazing video and great editing pls do more like this maybe doing a more detailed videos on each tribe for there benefits for buying and tactics and play styles that are good with them

0:48 Damn elves, I bet they have something to do with this... - Ralof

I’d like to see a new video like this including Cymanti. With the diplomacy update there will probably be a ton of new players, plus I just find these videos entertaining.

Love these niche channels. They make content which no one else does.

I like to quickly go for custom houses so I got yadakk.

Oof I bought Vengir first then all of the other tribes, before watching this video lol 😂

I have a challenge: Yadakk square: Play as yadakk against 4 or more hard or crazy bots. You can only use riders, and the warrior you get at the start of the game. You must connect all cities to the capital, whether that be with port connections or roads.

Loved your vids man

I was considering getting Kickoo or Zebasi. I think I've decided on Zebasi after learning all the money from buying Zebasi goes towards building solar panels. I also like Luxidoor but they cost more money than any other tribe. I was also trying to find a tribe for my friend he's an Oumaji main and I think he'll like Yadakk because he always forgets to get roads and doesn't like to use other slower-moving units.

Love all the tribes and skins 😍 i would like to have the button "Purchase all tribes & skins" to push it one time :)

Thanks friend, very helpful!

Thanks for the advice! I’ll start off Polaris since the units are a bit special and you can make random lands into your terrain not like random terrains.

You didn’t mention Ai-mo in this video, but I think that they’re decent. I mean, they always seem to start with 2+ of the same starting resource, and after 5 turns of not attacking, you get 3 population. Of course this is a very weak early tribe, but the land they start with has a good amount of resources to work with, and can do well long term. Edit: Ai-mo is not my favorite tribe though.

I would also like to note that elyrion can start with three units so it is amazing for scouting

Am I the only one who likes the fact he says have a spectacular day at the end of each video?

Well now I feel like I wasted $1.50 on Quetzali. Wasn't even brought up 😂

If you're a lil good with strategy the best for a kind of rush is shield with Quetzaly, at least against bots and some player that don't think too much about shield play style

The anwser is Simple - Yaddak

Amazing video,thank a lot

Jesus Christ GullYy, u wrote an entire damn essay Also, u be getting real close to a million views psst

thanks for the video

in my personal opinion, Ai-Mo is underrated as hell. Not only do you get the pacifist mission early, you can also rush philosophy, which will then make it easier for you to capture cities without having to worry about upgrades.

Wow this is really helpful thanks Anyway I'ma use bardur cus look cooler.

If you want another good tribe I like to use is oumaji, as if I want to play aggressive I just rush chivalry and then do great on offence for a bit, I’m no pro but it works quite well

I love Vengir since im used to doing combat against bots at crazy difficulty and having a economic disadvantage isnt so bad since i see that as a chalenge

Dear gullyy Can you make a video about Units tactics, strength and weaknesses

I acualy bought Yadakk first before watching this video just bc I want them roads, slap music and build up economy (and also get Knight tech early on, but dont acualy buy them till i get 8 s/t (Stars per turn))

Best challenge, Called “slow-mo” You can only move your units 1 space at a time, You can only learn 1 thing at a time, You can only capture cities 1 at a time. Have fun

Imma try the hoodrick soon

I still don't know what to get, I feel like should get all of the tribes

Ai moi are incredible, with meditation and philosopy they can have defense in mountain, a monument easily, mage and -20% for comptences, its very powerful

When I first got Polytopia I immediately wanted to play in multiplayer, so I bought Vengir because they looked coolest to me. I now regret that as I have not yet won with them in a hard mode or multiplayer game

you cant talk about sick tribe music without mentioning quetzali, that stuff's a bop

I feel that we need an updated version ❤ Cymanti, dyplomacy and path of the ocean...

I bought Kickoo because I wanted to have the 5 tribes that started with the 5 basic techs, but Imperius is still my favorite.

My favorite is kickoo and aquarion, however my first tribe was hoodrick😅

I like pure economy plays.what I do is omiji rush with boats because i like a port heavy citys

Could you make a vid on playing as vengir again or if you haven't already

I need that video :)

0:32 i knew it waa a good idea when i played polytopia i was bored so i bought to classes those two BEFORE watching this video

Oumaji because I use riders to claim cities early on and then I buy and spam knights and get battleships to prevent any attack from sea or I attack my enemy from the sea.

There is nothing more epic than helping people in need!

I didn't even know each tribe had a different tech, I thought they were just cool skins you could buy.

I have a challenge for you When upgrading cities you can only get explorer, then city wall, then population growth, then park for any and all cities you capture. No knights, normal or hard, 4-5 opponents, challenge is called Dum Dum Any tribe except Aquarion and Luxidoor

Kickoo,Zebasi, and luxidoor rely most on a strong economy. vengir, Polaris, elyrion, and hostility depend on aggression the most, yadack is the fastest expanding and best music tribe, ai mo, quetzal, and Aquarian’s success depends on development for the first ~10 turns, and that’s it for tribes you have to purchase

yeah I think im just gonna pick the coolest looking one

My favorite tribes are: Luxidoor - very versatile(strong in economy, early game domination) Vengir - Very good early game

I main zebasi my main pull to it was the charity but i just really like their stuff

Well i like elyrion cuz of the sanctuary it gives powerfull army especially in late game

Can we get an up-to-date tribe guide not necessarily a buying guide just a guide to all the tribes

I bought zebasi because they are looking good and their landscape is sick, but they need a lot of villages and land to make a lot of farms to make good economic, thats why i use them in drylands or lakes Next i am thinking for kickoo or yadakk

Yadakk music do be boppin doe

Wait, Quetzali is also a great economic tribe, since they can buy time with their Defenders. The only problem is Vengir though with the swordman

Spamming tridentions is my way to play, and also they can be an economic powerhouse

My friend is a Yăddak god. So I like to freeze oceans before he can get ports down. On a large map best case scenario he only gets 20 giants out by turn 5.

Luxidoor is 1 star short, if it starts with a lvl 3 capital with 4 stars/turn. And a lvl 1 starts with 2 stars, then upgrading it makes 3, then choose workshop makes 4, at lvl 3, the city can make 5 stars/turn in city wall.

You says «Kickoo» very cute c:

thank you

Thanks

This helps.

This is why I’m a zebasi-stan

tbh i just play kickoo every time and start over if the map doesn't have good options for customs houses lol

Hi gullyy, i really want to know what editing software you use. I will need it for some projects. This editing of yours looks very professional, so that’s why i ask. Btw. Sorry for my english

I also love yadac music I accidentally played it in class onece (I checked the time and accidentally opened polytopia)

Aquarion is my personal favourite

Cymanti because they look cool and they are strong!!

Me, a 12 year old. Almost 2 years since I have played polytopia. Still has the 4 free tribes.

Elyrion dominates every other tribe. Ruins aren't hidden by fog, so you get a cheat code to get free tech, stars or swordsman. Sanctuary gives you extra fighters regularly that don't count against your cities. They are perfect for becoming battleships since they are 15's already. Navalons control the water and can quickly decimate 10s on the coast. But the best feature of Elyrions are the dragons. Sure, they are vulnerable eggs, but keep them protected a few turns and they are flying tanks. Back up your dragons, navalons, and polytaurs with mindbenders for healing and turning opposing super units and dominate every match.

I bought some of them just because they look cool lol, like I chooses Vengir because In the history they look like “the bad guys”

I bought Elyrion, Aquarion and Vengir

Polaris is my favorite because when you have your monee standing near a city with a enemy on it then I can freeze him every round until I kill him with a other troop

I like the ocean,turtles and not having to constanly make my troops into boats, so i, well actually my mom bought aquarion

Here are my favourite tribes: .Yadaak .Zebasi .Bardur .Kickoo

For me I'll buy everything I already did But my favorite is Yaddak

Yaddak has bopping music? Oumaji has probably the best bass in the game, and vengir is just a solid beat in general

Hey, i am thinking about buying a tribe but don't really know what to buy. I am noob and only good with a bardur because I love upgrading my city to get against and catapults but I am not the best at the game. I need a easy to use where I can dominate my other noob friends. Any suggestions?

you sold me on Polaris with giving my friends aneurisms

What difference is there to other tribes other than enchanting animals and getting dragons?

Could you kind of cheese aquarion with a map that's mostly water?

Too late by friend told me to buy cymanti, polaris and vengir. So I did.

To be honest the only thing quetzali has goin for it is the music

It's saying that you need to be online to purchase tribes for mobile, yet I am online. How do I fix this or get the tribes then?

were not gonna talk about how the village hoodrick claimed was named "thick"?

is it possible to sneak in a combined(easter egg) tribe in an online multiplayer game?

Cynmati is pretty good too
