Tribal

Tribal is a persistent online multiplayer 2D RTS/RPG in which you lead a medieval tribe as its chieftain. Build your tribe, gather wealth and technology, and conquer new lands inhabited by Dark Lords and their minions. You can play alone, with friends or larger groups on community Custom Servers, or on the main multiplayer server alongside up to 144 other tribes.

Lead your tribe

Choose from six Tribe Chieftains, each with a unique spawn tree. You control your chieftain directly, managing each step, strategy and consequence. Tribe Raid Teams carry out assigned duties under the game AI, even while you are busy with other things or offline, provided a server remains running. Your tribe continues its work until death, while the Tribes of the 12 Gates, their Dark Lords and their bosses keep learning and preparing for your return.

Raid Teams can be recycled and spawned as needed, with different configurations and purposes:

• Combat: an aggressive team with a Tank and DPS that attacks enemies.
• Defense: a mixed team that holds its ground until threatened.
• Conquest: builders who quickly assemble structures for resource generation.
• Chaos: destroyers who quickly bring down enemy structures.
• Siege: a multipurpose team that holds and defends a map you have conquered.
• Zen: healers and clerics who protect you and your tribe.

Conquer the 12 Gates

Twelve powerful bosses guard access to the lands of Tribal. Defeating a boss awards a unique spell to the tribe that beats it, and only Tribe Chieftains can learn and use these spells. Defeating the bosses at the 12 Gates grants access to new maps and higher levels. The challenge continues afterward: encounters become much harder beyond the 12th Gate, and you can face them all again in Tribal Evolved.

Grow and equip your tribe

Earn experience by doing many kinds of activities and level up your chieftain. Your Raid Teams can also keep working and earning your chieftain XP while you do other things. Save gold and technology resources to pay for essential improvements and upgrades, and research over 40 unique technologies to strengthen your economy and Raid Teams.

Builders can construct over 100 structures, depending on the available land and its climate. You can let them choose what to build or direct them toward a particular resource. Spellcasters can cast over 60 spells and take on a DPS, Healer or Protection role according to the type of Raid Team you spawn.

Shape your rule

Build your tribe, conquer lands, enlighten your people and grow rich as you seek to survive and prosper. You can rush, turtle, explore or idle; help other tribes or crush them; and rule with an iron fist or a gentle hand.
