My only question is how will tribe selection work with wards?

Edit (Expansion of Question):

  • Could I be a Yoru orphan in a Neran orphanage, and if so will I speak their language or the Yoru language?

This was answered in the last Q&A. Check out the In short version on their Youtube channel.

Maybe this has been answered already, if so forgive me.

Are certain tribes more prone to talents or is it pure chance?

My question regard the different languages in relation to the tribes. Will it be possible to have a language drop down available for multilingual folks? Let them select the language they wish to speak in. Would make it more immersive instead of chatting and having the game auto translate in cases of fluency.

Those who know the language receive it translated and those who don't can't understand it as per normal.

Which tribe is best suited for being an engineer/technologist/inventor?

6/17/2017 1:09:38 AM #65

Combining what was previously said regarding EP kits and the current tribe write-ups... Would it be safe to assume that the lower cost construction (buildings, fences, etc) would correlate to the primary construction materials of the tribe. IE one tribe it might be wood while another tribe stone might be the same cost?


6/17/2017 1:18:30 AM #66

Will each tribe have its own form of currency and will make other forms of currency worthless unless exchanged?


6/17/2017 1:26:19 AM #67

How likely would additional race discoveries be on a continent when the servers open (post phase three Exposition)? How often on average should we expect big discoveries, like additional races, to occur (once a lifetime, twice, ninty-seven times)?


6/17/2017 2:55:40 AM #68

If the minimum sized settlement for a mayor is a town, how can pledged Barons/Mayors start in smaller hamlet or village sized settlements [such as those of the brudvirs] and still be guaranteed their titles? Are the settlements registered with the county as being some kind of organization with an equivalent leadership title?

Offspring (yay)

Do different tribes have different fertility rates and family sizes? I.e. is one tribe more likely to have twins, or triplets, whilst another might struggle to have one? And of that, do say the Brudvir have many children owing to being like packs, whilst the Neran might only have 1 or 2 being relatively nomadic?

It was mentioned in the last Q&A that size will matter as far as crafting goes - What if there was a battle between a group of Hrothi and Brudvir and one of the Brudvir broke his or her weapon. Could they pick up a fallen Hrothi's weapon and be somewhat effective with it in battle, or should our Brudvir friend consider another strategy?


6/17/2017 5:20:39 AM #71

Are the CLAWS found on the Kypiq retractable so that they can still use standard closed gloves and boots?

Tribes & biomes skill related question:

Brudvir are supposedly masters of carpentry, but would they still need to learn a different part of the skilltree if working with mangroves or any other foreign wood?

In other words:

When another tribe encounters materials of a foreign biome, is their regular skill applied or is there another sub-branch skill for that?

Like Swordfighting has: 1hand, 2hand, rapier, shortsword, claymore etc.

As discussed before will a kipiq be able to ride on a yoru's shoulders, and if so would mounted combat come in to play?


6/17/2017 10:50:59 PM #74

Will there be any professions or item creation restricted by Tribes?

If someone manages to sail to another continent and discovers previously unseen tribes would that open up those tribes for character selection to the whole server or only those souls whom have had contact with them?
