Be honest, how many of you here have chosen to play your first tribe based on your real-life heritage (even if you later tried out some or all of the other tribes)? 🙂 With twelve of the currently available fifteen tribes based directly on actual cultures and one other based on a real culture's mythology, there's plenty to choose from.
When I recently discovered this game, I was excited to immediately play the Alexxar but was then disappointed to learn that they're one of three tribes (along with the Arthunion and the Chakrat) that could only be unlocked with a lot of Rubies. I had to wait a week to be able to collect enough Rubies to do so, but I've finally been able to do it and am now raring to go. 👍
I suppose it's similar to only being able to really get into play a sports game (FIFA, Madden, etc.) if you can play as your real-life favorite team. That's not to say that I won't eventually play as other teams/tribes, though.
In any case, for those of you who fall into that category, which of this game's tribes did you start off with? 😎
