Tribe

From SporeWiki, the knowledge base dedicated to Spore

This article is an overview of how the player interacts with the game during different stages.

The tribe is a collection of the player's now-sapient creatures.

[edit] Direct Control

The player can give orders to groups of his creatures for several reasons, but mostly to ensure the survival of the tribe or contact other tribes.

[edit] Indirect Control

The player can also purchase different items for his creatures, such as weapons, musical instruments, medicines, and fire. The player can also upgrade the hut that his tribe is centered around (and maybe get more huts, unless his creatures all sleep outside), presumably unlocking better items to purchase. When the player has conquered or allied the five other tribes (diplomatic or hostile) he can build a totempole (of five pieces, each piece stands for a conquered/allied tribe), and he moves to the Civilization stage and begins interacting with the world via Vehicles and Cities.

[edit] Trivia

In Tribal Stage, all of (or at least most of) the Tribes are of different species. However in Space Stage, all the Tribes are on a planet are the same species.
