The World
Twelve tribes on twelve islands are controlled by up to twelve players. You have only two neighbors at first because of your low starting technology.
Game Turns
Players give inputs for their tribes simultaneously. The next turn launches in five minutes or less and the game ends randomly after about ten turns.
Winning
Teams, not tribes, score points each turn based on their treasure rank. To best the other five teams, you’ll need to be sharp about growing your economy and force. You may choose to create tour own treasure or rob your neighbors.
Teammate Tribes
I add up the treasure your two tribes have so you and your teammate share the same treasure score. The technology level is shared by both of your tribes, too.
Being Stronger
Your tribe’s strength is based on its economy, which is its population times your team’s technology level. Tribes with larger populations and higher technology levels are stronger.
Submit Button
Click the submit button after selecting your tribe’s production, placement, support, and invasion actions. You cannot add or change actions after you click “submit.”
Production: Work, Armament, or Monument
Choose Work for three turns to double your population. Choosing Armament multiplies your force by four on the current turn. Monument selection creates treasure worth two times the value of your economy.
Member Placement
You may place two tribe members per turn. I randomly remove one-third of your members every turn in the expiration process. Expiration limits your tribe to about six members.
Member Types
There are five member types. Warriors double a tribe’s force; Artists create treasure; Industries contribute to technology advance; Support given to a neighbor gains protection for the donor; and Tribute members must make treasure for a tribe who conquers them.
Technology Advance
You begin the game at Level 1 technology. When you and your teammate accumulate three Industry members, you both double your economies by advancing to a higher level. The levels are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
Support Member
By placing a Support member, you create extra ally force and give it to the neighbor you choose. These are the steps: 1) Place a Support member; 2) Go to the technology widow; 3) Tap on a neighbor and select “Lord.” Your lord cannot attack you. If you are invaded, your lord fights the invader and may be conquered in your place! When your tribe has 8 force units, your Support member sends 8 extra force units to your lord. That Support member sends your lord 32 force units if your own force jumps to 32.
Tribute Member
Suppose you invade a neighbor and win the battle. You become the conqueror and collect treasure from your victim tribe’s Tribute member. If you are conquered, your Tribute member will create treasure for the empire that conquered you; you will be able to place only other one member of your choice on that turn.
Invasions
Your tribe’s force is equally distributed among ten officers so you can assign them to the missions you choose. To conquer a neighbor, you may assign some or all of your officers to invasion. This is how to invade: 1) In the technology window, tap a neighbor you are targeting; 2) Choose the number of officers you are sending. The victor is the tribe with the most force. Ties go to the defender.
Conquest
A winning invader conquers the victim tribe and becomes an empire. The empire loots all, some, or none of the victim’s treasure and receives future treasure from the victim’s Tribute member next turn. The victim loses all their members and must place a Tribute member for the empire every turn they are reconquered. The victim regains freedom when their force exceeds or ties the empire’s reconquest force.
Strategy Suggestions
1. Choose Work to grow your population.
2. Avoid being conquered by giving Support to a lord protector.
3. Share treasure-making and technology-building roles with your teammate. You both benefit from these activities.
4. Have a blast!
