'''Tribes''' are nominally [[Lore#Tech_levels|neolithic tech level]] [[faction]]s, however in reality they field equipment from the medieval level as well. There are three types of tribes in the base game: the gentle tribe, which start out neutral, the fierce tribe, which start out hostile but can be befriended, and the savage tribe, which are permanently hostile. There are two two additional tribe variants included with the [[Ideology DLC]]: the cannibal tribe, a permanently hostile tribe obsessed with eating human meat, and the nudist tribe, a tribe that starts out neutral and does not like to wear clothing.

The tribes are groups of neolithic people with basic weaponry such as bows and spears. They have probably inhabited the planet for a long time. They always wear tribal clothing, which is equivalent in stats to a standard shirt.  People from this faction are usually very hard to recruit (difficulty 80+) unless you are also a tribal faction, though it is possible to do so. Tribe names often have words derived from Spanish, such as 'miñoca', 'legua', etc. They may not seem very strong due to their low level of technology, but they make up for it with sheer numbers. They can easily overwhelm your defenses. The advised way of dealing with them is using area of effect weapons such as the [[Doomsday rocket launcher]] or [[Frag grenades]]. Fast firing weapons such as the [[minigun]] and the [[heavy SMG]] are also suggested.

Revision as of 10:59, 11 August 2021

For the New or Lost Tribe colony type or the backstory type, see Scenario system and Backstories.

Tribes are nominally neolithic tech level factions, however in reality they field equipment from the medieval level as well. There are three types of tribes in the base game: the gentle tribe, which start out neutral, the fierce tribe, which start out hostile but can be befriended, and the savage tribe, which are permanently hostile. There are two two additional tribe variants included with the Ideology DLC: the cannibal tribe, a permanently hostile tribe obsessed with eating human meat, and the nudist tribe, a tribe that starts out neutral and does not like to wear clothing.

People from this faction are usually very hard to recruit (difficulty 80+) unless you are also a tribal faction, though it is possible to do so. They may not seem very strong due to their low level of technology, but they make up for it with sheer numbers. They can easily overwhelm your defenses. The advised way of dealing with them is using area of effect weapons such as the Doomsday rocket launcher or Frag grenades. Fast firing weapons such as the minigun and the heavy SMG are also suggested.

This faction is a formidable ally and foe alike, and may start off as either of them. They may not be as dangerous as pirates, but they are not insignificant.

Lore

"These people have been here a very long time. Maybe their ancestors crashed here a thousand years ago. Maybe they survived some cataclysm that destroyed a technological civilization here. In any case, the tribals are a mostly nomadic people who live off the land using primitive tools and weapons. Despite their apparent technological weakness, the tribals can be dangerous enemies and valuable friends because of their skill with low-tech warfare, their numbers, and their hardiness." - In-game description

Tribal faction leaders are called the "Chief".

Names

The name of the Tribal factions vary from game to game, but follows one of several patterns:

  • [Tribal Word] [Tribal Political Union]
  • The [Tribal Word] [Tribal Political Union]
  • The [Color] [Terrain Feature] [Tribal Political Union]
  • [Tribal Political Union] of [Tribal Word]
  • The [Color] [Animal] [Tribal Word]
  • The [Tribal Political Union] of the [Terrain Feature]

Where:

  • [Animal] and [Terrain Feature] are one of 179 and 48, respectively, different common nouns of that category. E.g. Condor or Valley. They are not listed due to length.
  • [Tribal Word] is one of 89 words which appear to be, in part or totally, of Galician origin - a Romance Language spoken predominantly in Galicia, Spain. E.g. Abeneiro, meaning a Black Alder tree, or Miñoca, meaning Earthworm. They are not listed due to length.
  • [Color] and [Tribal Political Union] are replaced by one of the following:
Part Word
[Tribal Political Union] Union Nation Confederacy Confederation Alliance Kin league Covenant Treaty Pact Coalition Kinship People Tribe
[Color] Red Blue Green Purple Black White Gray Orange

Examples:

  • Cambiar Kin League
  • The Black Mesa Commonwealth
