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.
