No worries dude. I’ve not got the vengir but they seem an all or nothing kind of tribe. If you can expand fast you have a chance, but if you don’t you’re left with crap starting land.
I’ve joined the polytopia discord and it’s very active. I get the feeling that 1v1 on a large map is seen as a true test, as it evens out some of the randomness of your starting position. If anyone wants to play like this let me know or send me an invite.
