They haven’t caused any damage to my buildings yet. Though I don’t think they’re a terrifying race as they just seem to stamp around and scare the tribe. Your village will occasionally get attacked by invaders which look like large cavemen. Some are as simple as building a type of building, or planting a certain amount of crops while others rely on you finding special items from certain buildings. The story of The Tribez is pushed along by way of a series of quests or missions. There’s variation of course but you get the idea. For example a level 1 farm takes 3 minutes to make 15 food while a level 4 farm takes an hour to make 120 food. The amount of any resource made and the amount of time it takes to make it depends on the level of the building. All of those things are needed to build the wide variety of buildings and decorations, and with only a limited amount of villagers you can’t build everything at once, so you have to prioritise your needs. Your Tribe is not just restricted to accumulating gold, but also food, wood, stone, lumber, cut stone, dinosaur eggs, villagers and more. Httpv://Resources are gathered by building the various buildings and assigning a villager to work at them. Tribez is not as detailed as the Settlers games but it still has a lot more scope than most other iPad resource management sims. That’s about the size of it, It’s the sort of game you may have seen many times before but it’s pretty rare to get something that deals with resource management in such detail on the iPad. Tribez is all about gathering the necessary resources you will need to grow the tribe. So what is it that makes Tribes so good? Well sit yourself down and I’ll tell you. It’s certainly better than many of the other resource management games out on the iPad at the moment and you don’t have to pay a thing, well not if you don’t want to.

I play it because in my opinion it’s a well done resource simulation that’s fun to play.

I don’t play this game for the storyline, fine though it may be. The game starts with you being thrown back in time with a crazy scientific genius and ending up in a prehistoric settlement with dinosaurs and cavemen (dinosaurs and cavemen? Living together? Hmmm.) You have to help them advance their tribe and um, fulfill their tribal duties, and… ummm… look! Honestly, I have no idea. Tired of all those RTS or FPS games? Are you looking for a resource management/city building simulation game for the iPad without having to pay a penny? Do you fancy strapping on a loincloth and getting all tribal? Well I know just the game, The Tribez HD.
