Introducing Tribe Vibes

Tribe Vibes is a exciting �Play-By-E-Mail� game set at the dawn of
civilisation.

You control the fortunes and future of a nomadic tribe of people.

You control every aspect of your tribe;
You may herd your animals; turn their skins into leather and the leather
into armour.

Or you may mine the hills and mountains for  minerals refine the
minerals; into metals and then turn the metals into tools, armour,
weapons or a host of other products.
But most importantly you must feed your tribe, hunting, fishing, culling
your herds and farming can all produce all your people need, how you go
about it is your choice.

Tribe Vibes is a game of unlimited opportunities

Skills
Your tribe starts with a number of skills which you can call upon; from
hunting and herding to archery and horsemanship.

You can choose to increase your skills, or learn new ones.

The higher your skill the level the more able you are to meet the
challenges that your tribe must face.

Research
Once you tribe reach�s skill level 10 you are able to research a new
idea, you can choose from a range of existing research topics or create
your own, Tribe Vibes is not limited by set peramitters, but can expand
in new and unconventional directions limited only by your imagination.

You may think the longbow as the ultimate weapon for the bronze age,
then research the longbow, or something else just as wild.

Combat
There are of course those people who find peace boring and trade tame
and you might be one of them. Combat is always at the back of your mind.

There are a range of skills that you can  develop, weapons  and armour
to be made and your warriors will need to keep constant vigilance. You
may want to develop your scouting skills to find your enemies before
they find you.

There is a range of ways you can fight, mount you troops, leave them on
foot, arm them with bows, slings or swords that is if you have developed
the skills and resources to produce them.

many exciting places to find and other clans to find.

encounter fight make peace with.
Villages
You can wander the world exploring the lands and seas, or you can settle
down and build a Village.

Each village can have any range of buildings, a mill to grind your grain
into flour, a bakery to turn the flour into bread, a refinery to turn
the minerals you have found into metals.

their energies on something constructive.
