The Battle of Polytopia features the intriguing Cymanti Tribe, a group of bug-loving Polytopians hailing from the swampy forests. In their quest for dominance, they harness the might of gigantic bugs and toxic fungi, creating a unique gameplay experience. With a mystical Shaman at the helm, the Cymanti are masters of brutal insectoid warfare, using their deep-rooted connection with the Ciru Bug, which merges with them, enhancing their abilities.

Key features include the ability to outfit massive bugs for combat, launching powerful attacks with venomous Phychi swarms, and employing nimble Hexapods for hit-and-run tactics. The Cymanti also cultivate toxic fungi fed by their enemies, creating a strategic resource for defense and attack. They can build bridges of Algae for seamless aquatic movement and unleash fearsome Centipedes that span multiple tiles.

Additionally, the Cymanti's potent arsenal includes the explosive Doomux, which cloaks the battlefield in toxic death, and the resilient Kiton for defense. With the Shaman's magic enhancing their forces, players can immerse themselves in this thrilling and grotesque realm.
