The low-key tactical strategy game The Battle of Polytopia experienced an unexpected surge in popularity last year after billionaire Elon Musk named it his favorite game. An eccentric rich man, known not only for his successes in electromobility and space exploration, but also for his strange behavior on social networks, even Polytopia in recent tweet described as more complex than chess. You can judge for yourself how seriously his opinion can be taken. However, this does not detract from the fact that Polytopia is a surprisingly complex game.
Her angular coat hides an unexpectedly large number of different tactical options. At the same time, the already large strategic arsenal is now being expanded with the introduction of the new Diplomacy update. As the name suggests, the possibility to establish diplomatic relations with your in-game opponents is coming to the game together with the new addition. In addition to concluding peace treaties and alliances, you can also send spies to allies or enemies to upset the balance of power in information warfare.

Polygon battlefields have also received changes. You can now send special Cloaks units to them. These have the ability to slip undetected past enemy armies and strike at the opponent's units from his own rear. In addition, the developers from Midjiwan AB are adding a lot of minor novelties to the game. When you add them all up, it's the biggest addition in the game's history. So Elon Musk can be pleased that maybe Polytopia will really come close to the incredible complexity of chess after such a substantial update. To verify this hypothesis, however, the businessman must offer his own calculations.
