The main map view however is a classical hexagonal map you’d expect with some strategy games. There’s a good combination of digitalized photos making up a story and of animated inserts of hunts or practice (usually quite humorous). You should always take care of their mood (represented by the orange meter and the smiley face), because if they’re too annoyed with you, you’ll witness a prehistoric rebellion and you’ll loose the control of your tribe. Choose wisely, as the mood of your tribesmen depends upon it. Whenever a special even occurs you’ll see some change in graphics and you’ll get up to 4 options to choose from. It’s usually a good idea to explore them. You’ll find ruined of other intelligent settlers and you’ll find heaps of things somebody else left behind. Still if you wish to successfully lead your tribe, you’ll have to be very careful and you’ll need to build up your own leadership skills.Īpart from leading the tribe, scheduling daily chores (practice hunting and making spears going hunting making statues pushing further along the trail), you’ll also need to sort some differences between other tribe’s members and even your own leadership will be questioned. The icons and meters are very easy to understand and you’ll only have a limited number of options, so the game won’t seem overwhelming. That’s basically the background story behind this great and somewhat funny game. It’s your duty and privilege to lead the tribe over the as of yet undiscovered valleys and mountain passes, through wild growth and over rivers, until you all successfully reach another volcano. Still the tribe believed they are dependent upon a volcano and wanted to find another one before the winter begins. In order to keep warm, they wanted to stay close to volcanoes, which seemed like a good idea until one of such volcanoes decided to erupt. It was before the dawning of the first civilization. There were times long gone, when people lived in tribes.
