Hello, patient builders!

Let me see your war face because the battle mode is back with a solid interface!

Overall, expanding your city should feel way smoother now too, and you should be able to choose the right building easily. We’ve mostly used this update to change much of what’s happening behind the screen and polish some rough edges. You can enjoy LowPolis again!

Where are we heading now?

Let’s speak facts – LowPolis needs a strong rebalance and for a long time it was something we’ve tried putting away with small adjustments of building costs or resource consumption.

The game also needs to become more welcoming for new players. For this reason, we need a tutorial that will help people understand the game.

Beyond that, we’re working hard to make the battle mode a part of the actual gameplay. Optimal and solid unit pathfinding is a must for this to make future on-map battles enjoyable.

Cheers!
