Tribal Lore is a cancelled PC game by Gremlin Interactive Limited.
It was to be an strategy game based in ancient caveman times.

Plot

In this ancient land, called Land, there are four tribes always at war.
There are: the Cruithn, the Shamanka, the Bruann, and the Nammad.
You pick a tribe and fight for supremacy.

Gameplay

Each tribe has its own characteristics.

Tribes
Cruithn cannibal aboriginals
Shamanka light-skinned magicians
Bruann war-like honour culture
Nammad skilled Nordic warriors

Each tribes has its perks and attributes that make it viable for victory.
Collect resources and research technologies like a typical 4X game to get an edge.
The real edge comes from magic.

Magic can be found from menhirs, dolmens, and other standing stones.
Your druid can harness this magic to change the weather and terrain.
This can be useful, such as building hills for you, and digging trenches and rain for foes.

Cancellation

Tribal Lore was cancelled in 1998 when Gremlin unexpectedly pulled the plug on the project.
The reasoning was financial grievances beyond their control.
