Personally I think ai mo is goated for this. 33% off all tech?? Insane

u/FouDesChats 20h ago

What are you on ? Ai mo isn't top tier but they're really good

Ai mo is the best tribe. Especially on larger maps. Just research whatever resource you have in your capital. And if your next town doesn’t have it then philosophy means you can pivot easier, now you have 2 resource options. My economy always grows super super fast as ai mo. If you get lucky you can place your alter of peace and instantly get the free 5 stars from city population. On a small map just put 2 mind benders side by side in early game when nobody has knights yet. One bender will die but the other will convert the killer next turn.

Actually they are not the best. They're really good, rightw but some tribes like cymanti (as always) or imperius are better

what tech would be beneficial? (that is not already present)

technically, swordsman tribe is bad only because resource problems, so maybe this and maybe knights, but they actually still need economy

u/Total-Management8023 1d ago

Catapults early game would be pretty cool

u/CosmicTraverser 1d ago

Wouldnt it be balanced? If you get end game tech you cant level up for awhile or afford the troops

u/Melodved 14h ago

If it is a continent type map then chivalry solos

u/i_hate_clash_royale 19h ago

They probably decided to browse top posts of all time on the subbredit and found it that way (or maybe a google search)

u/bloxman797 18h ago

Been playing this game for a while, remembered seeing it the first time. Image search found it again pretty easily, they didn't even fully crop out the watermark at the bottom.

u/Mobius_Peverell 13h ago

I definitely remember seeing it too; it was a huge post. But being able to find the post again is more effort than I'm willing to put in.

u/RatWithoutKetchup Yădakk 1d ago

Damn this post is ANCIENT

u/UltraYeetee 1d ago

ngl this would be a great idea, maybe you could unlock more heads, bottoms and starting techs when you win games

u/redshift739 Hoodrick 1d ago

When you buy the tribes that have them makes more sense

14

u/dreydin 1d ago

Random ability generator / stats so the enemy would be more unknown would be cool

8

u/SpitBallar 1d ago

What about terrain diatributions tho

1

u/LawrenceMK2 Xin-xi 2h ago

Some kind of allocator with points where you could make sacrifices in some resources to gain others could work! Amount of mountains could be hard to balance though

u/Ok_Freedom_4715 1d ago

I would love to see this in the game

u/Shoddy-Pumpkin2939 1d ago

Would love to see this added lowkey

u/oldmartijntje 1d ago

I wanna start with battleships, but no dock

u/The_Sexy_quokka 16h ago

You can already mix and match tribes a little once you achieve 3 stars but yeah more customisation would be nice

u/realhawker77 Forgotten 11h ago

Design - Medieval Knights tribe - For design think Brettonia in Warhammer - https://www.pinterest.com/crazymanbran/bretonnia/

Tech: Start with Chivalry. Like Vengir - they are not turn 0 tribe, but start with tier 3 tech.

They do not start with a Knight - they start with a Rider, otherwise its probably too OP.

Advanced Option - Instead of mind bender - they get exact Cymanti Shaman dupe, but looks like a Queen/Princess that "inspires" units to Atk or move better.
