In global 4X strategy The Great Tribes, you won’t just recreate familiar nations using tired old blueprints. You will rather create a completely new civilization, guiding it from the earliest days of nomadic tribes to the era of rocket science. Remake the world as you see fit, utilizing large-scale terraforming. Or watch as the environment evolves organically through dynamic unscripted events. The game’s thoroughness goes far beyond cities, letting you manage individual districts and even specific buildings. Your rival?  It’s a fair yet formidable AI that explores the world from scratch, facing the same unpredictable challenges as you. Enact your own laws, blend races and cultures, and mold your world exactly as you see fit!

A WORLD IN MOTION

This is a living, breathing world—always changing, always adapting. Every choice you make sends ripples through the ecosystem. Shift the climate, reshape the land, and watch as your decisions (or those of formidable AI rivals) transform the environment. Terraform the terrain to unleash bold, unconventional strategies—creativity is rewarded! But beware: consequences unfold over time, woven from the threads of many choices, not just one. But remember!  Even the noblest actions can spiral into unanticipated mayhem.

MANAGE SOCIETY AND THE ECONOMY

All civilizations are born in their unique cradle. At the start of the game, you will have access to six race types based on the starting biome—from icy wastelands to tropical jungles. It will be your decision whether to preserve your race's identity or blend cultures from different biomes and nations.

Establish control systems, impose your own laws, build your society, and utilize every instrument at your disposal to govern the inhabitants of your nations and others. The elements necessary to create a strong civilization are in your hands! Science, education, religion, internal and foreign economies respectivally.

May your treasury overflow, My Lord!

ADVANCED AND FAIR AI

In The Great Tribes, you’ll face—and collaborate with—an advanced AI that operates under the same conditions as you. The computer won’t feign ignorance of your actions or location. Instead, it will truly explore the world alongside you, piercing through the fog of war and making independent decisions based on real-time data.

Yet, this AI is also your ally, helping you build your civilization. Choose your level of involvement: automate production and governance, or micromanage every detail. Delegate politics, economy, or research to AI advisors, let it command your armies—or seize full control. Play your way, focusing only on what excites you. The power is in your hands.
