The Battle of Polytopia — Polaris Tribe

Polaris is the third special Polytopian tribe! It originated in the icy wastelands and serves the mysterious Gaami, who seek to transform the Square into a kingdom of ice and snow. The rulers of this tribe have endowed it with ice magic, thanks to which the inhabitants can create wondrous Moonies, freeze bodies of water, smash enemies to pieces, and diligently bring about a new world order…

Unlike other tribes, Polaris has a unique playstyle. The most outstanding feature of the inhabitants of the tribe is the ability to freeze the terrain, turning the land and bodies of water into their icy versions, and replace the terrain features with their own. Due to the ability to turn water into ice, Polaris does not have access to a navy: instead of ships and battleships, the tribe gets a battle sled and an ice fortress that easily rolls on ice. Polaris start the game not with a warrior, but with a moonie, a charming ice construct that can freeze the surrounding area and nearby enemies, leaving them helpless until they thaw. Regular archers are replaced with ice archers, who do not deal damage but freeze enemies by shooting

from afar. Also, instead of giants, Polaris use gaami, the physical embodiment of their

extradimensional masters, who can instantly freeze the surrounding area and destroy an entire army. Finally, since Polaris have no bodies of water or ports, their customs office is replaced with an ice bank, which produces stars based on the amount of frozen territory in the Square.

You can forget all your knowledge of naval battles when playing as Polaris, as the tribe, lacking a navy, solves the problem of overseas conquests in a completely different way. By using Muni and Gaami together, you can completely block an enemy fleet in port! On ice, Polaris troops receive a movement bonus and can use sleds designed to protect frozen lands. With an ice bank, Polaris can also extract income from frozen territories. When frozen, an enemy unit cannot perform actions such as movement and counterattack, making it easy for the tribesmen to deal with enemies.

If you like tribes with incredibly strong ice magic that freeze their enemies, or you just want to enjoy the winter landscape, then Polaris is your choice!
