The Battle of Polytopia lets you launch sneak attacks with the new Diplomacy expansion

Midjiwan AB has officially announced an exciting new expansion for The Battle of Polytopia, the indie developer's hit 4X strategy game on mobile and on Steam. The Diplomacy expansion lets players enjoy new features such as Peace Treaties and Tribe Relations as a free update to the game.

The new technology in the Tech Tree gives players the freedom to form alliances both with humans and with AI. They can find player capitals, build embassies, send out spies and even resort to sneak attacks via Cloaks. These possess two new abilities called Infiltrate and Stealth, and they are invisible to enemy units.

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.”
