"Tribes and Scimitars Mobile Game" is about to be officially launched. I believe that many players are curious about how to play this game on mobile phones. As a transplanted work, it is still very playable. Some players may not be very clear about the details of the game. How to play, here is a detailed introduction to how to play, let’s take a look!
"Tribes and Scimitar Mobile Game" gameplay introduction
【Select game mode】
As a new adventurer entering "Tribes and Scimitars", you will see two options for the current game mode on the main menu: "Story Mode" and "Sandbox Mode". In fact, there is no difference in gameplay between these two modes, but we strongly recommend that players choose "Story Mode" for the first time——
The story mode will give players clear clearance goals through the main tasks; in addition, the story mode will involve a series of settings related to the world view, which will be very helpful for players to deepen the game.
If you already have enough experience in the game, then the sandbox mode will bring you a richer and freer gaming experience.
【Create character】
After selecting the mode, you will enter the character creation selection interface. "Tribes and Scimitars" has prepared some fixed character groups for players in advance. The main stories of these characters are completely the same, so please don’t worry about differences in plot experience and other aspects. We have also designed a set of exclusive personal plots for these characters, which will help you understand this person's personality, past, and interpersonal relationships during the game.
Since these characters have different origins and experiences, their initial skills and companions are also different. We use asterisks to indicate a character's strength in the game according to their abilities. The more asterisks, the "relatively" weaker the character's abilities are. Although we recommend that players choose a low-difficulty character to start your first adventure, please note that the asterisks here only differentiate based on the character's performance and skill ease of use, and do not mean that this character will be in the game. has always been at a disadvantage.
Each character can be trained by players to become a hero in the desert, so when you start the second or third game, you might as well try other characters. If you already have a sufficient understanding of character performance, skills and moves, then a fully initialized profession like "Unknown Sword Master" will bring a more immersive gaming experience.
【Inheritance】
Legacy is a multi- week system. When you achieve certain goals during the game, the system will reward the player with certain inheritance points. By using these inheritance points, the player character will gain buffs in the next week. This system will reduce the difficulty of the game to a certain extent and even change the game experience in the early and middle stages of the game. For new players, this system can be temporarily skipped.
Some of the first things you should pay attention to after entering the game
In the story mode, the initial birthplace of each character is located in the "outskirts of Red Stone Valley", which you can understand as a novice village. There will be no aggressive hostile characters here, and you can safely and boldly communicate with the characters around you. There will be some NPCs who will tell players about the current status of the major forces in the game world. A proper understanding of their positions will help you determine the direction forward.
When players advance along the road on the outskirts of Red Stone Valley, they will automatically be triggered to enter the main plot. At this time, players will be exposed to the combat system of "Tribes and Scimitars" for the first time. Don't worry, the first battle is very simple, where you can familiarize yourself with the basic operations and learn the use of skills. Reasonable arrangement of character skills will help in subsequent battles, so players can use skills at will in this battle to become familiar with the different characteristics of different characters.
When the battle is over, players will encounter two important NPCs and some options related to the main plot. Although the options will not affect the subsequent plot, they will change the amount of information in the plot to a certain extent. If you are not familiar with Tribes and Scimitars, we recommend that you talk to them carefully to get some useful information.
After this plot ends, the player will choose the destination at the convoy. Please note that although players here can choose where they want to go, considering their current level, equipment, and character relationships, we strongly recommend that you go to Red Stone Valley. The character levels and task difficulty here are relatively simple and very It is suitable for new players to get familiar with the various gameplays of "Tribes and Scimitars".
【Come to Red Stone Valley】
We designed Redstone Valley to be a beginner-friendly area. The density of wild forces and monsters here is relatively low. However, it should be noted that some humanoid neutral forces may reduce their favorable impression of you and start to actively attack you after being attacked, so we recommend that there is no need to provoke them before arriving at Red Stone City.
When you first set foot here, your goal should be to find ways to improve your level while ensuring you have enough food (such as dried meat). When you are short of food, your movement speed will slow down, and your troop recovery speed will also be affected. Food can be obtained by exploring, defeating enemies, or trading. In the early game, the team's food consumption will be very small, so you will have plenty of time to replenish them. The food does not need to be used actively, just keep it in the backpack and it will be used automatically at the end of each night.
Sometimes, you will collect some other materials in the map, such as money, materials, etc. These materials can be traded in the next Red Stone City or kept for your own use. There is also a merchant here who can expand the upper limit of your backpack. Please remember his location. A large backpack will play a very critical role in your marching and exploration.
Red Rock City will be your first stronghold, where you can conduct transactions, recruit troops to expand your team, or accept commissioned tasks provided by the village chief to gain experience and gold coin rewards. Here you are free to choose your next growth method, and we will also provide some reference suggestions for this.
【Choose your growth path】
In "Tribes and Scimitars", we have prepared several ways for players to increase their level or quickly obtain resources:
1. Location exploration:
We have designed several locations on the map for players to explore. It is divided into small locations, dungeons and heroic soul dungeons.
Small locations: You will encounter relatively simple small battles, and players will receive resources and rewards after exploring. But after each exploration, you need to wait for a while before exploring again.
Copy: Copy is a mechanism with relatively generous rewards. Players can bring teammates with them. A certain amount of preparation time is required before entering the dungeon. At the same time, players will encounter random events in each dungeon. These events have both buffs and debuffs. When players pass the dungeon, they will receive gifts or powerful equipment rewards. We recommend that players try to meet the recommended level of the dungeon before entering these dungeons.
Heroic Soul Dungeon: It is a high-difficulty dungeon that will be randomly opened every week and announced on the notification bar in the lower left corner. After victory, you can obtain equipment, magic crystals, and even rare resources such as wisdom crystals and jade. Generally speaking, players need to have a relatively strong team to be able to do it with ease.
2. Defeat hostile forces in the wild:
As described in the section "Coming to Red Stone Valley", there are various hostile forces such as bandits, monsters and rebels in the game. They are relatively weak in the early stage, but they may still cause some trouble to players who are not familiar with combat yet. Therefore, players can try to challenge them first, or they can choose to explore some locations and dungeons to enrich their combat power before challenging them. Spending a little money to recruit new soldiers in the town hall is a good way to increase your combat power and deal with them.
Thieves are an organized group. If the player actively defeats them, they will lower their opinion of you and actively attack you in the map (displayed as a red name). But if you defeat them multiple times, they will scatter because they are afraid of your strength. But in some bandit territories or when you are strong enough, you can choose to use resources to recruit them.
Monsters and rebels are more simple hostile forces. They will only actively attack players. From another perspective, they will also be one of the good materials for players to upgrade their levels. However, it should be noted that whether they are thieves, monsters or rebels, they will continue to grow based on the strength level of the player's team.
3. Random tasks
Players can accept their requests in the town hall or when in contact with other NPC teams. Delegations will have a time limit and mission objectives will vary. Commissions in towns and villages are generally divided into errand-type tasks such as purchasing and escorting, while NPC commissions include combat tasks such as seeking revenge. As the player level increases or joins a force, the rarity of the mission will also increase.
For novices, delegation is not actually the most efficient means of leveling up. Town commissions require players to be familiar with a certain map to complete quickly, while NPC commissions require players to obtain the location of the target by asking. Although these two tasks will reward a large amount of resources or experience, we still recommend that players have a certain understanding of the game before undertaking such tasks.
4. Side missions
Many of the characters in Tribes and Scimitars have their own stories. When players see some NPCs with scrolls on their heads, they can take on their tasks to obtain rewards such as talent points or experience. Since some branches will involve combat, the system will prompt recommended levels before starting the mission, requiring players to pay special attention.
5. Plunder/help caravans
In the game, you will encounter some caravans driving camels. These caravans are sent by various settlements. They carried special products for trade in other settlements. Sometimes you will encounter a situation on the map where they are attacked by hostile forces in the wild. At this time, you can choose which side to help. If you help the caravan, the favorability of the relevant tribe will increase, and vice versa will decrease it.
Generally speaking, we will recommend players to help caravans, which will be of great help to players in the middle and later stages of running merchants or communicating with tribes.
6. Running business
Running business is a hidden gameplay in "Tribes and Scimitars". In the game, players can purchase local specialties in the town hall, and after selling the specialties to other places, players can earn profits from the price difference. The rule of price difference is simply "the further away from the origin, the higher the income."
Running a business is a way to quickly accumulate money. However, it requires the player's backpack resources. It should also be noted that if the player is a non-tribe member, he or she needs to purchase a "trade license" before trading. There are different types of trade licenses, and the price depends on the tribe's favorability towards you. Players can choose according to their needs.
【Grow further】
When players accumulate certain resources or upgrade their level, they can decide the next direction of growth. When players reach this stage, the focus of the game will shift from "survival" to "strategy", and they will also be exposed to deeper secrets in the desert. Based on the strength of the player character and the current regional situation, we will propose some things you may need to do next:
1. Recruit and train powerful troops
When you first start the game, you can recruit new soldiers from each tribe by talking to the settlement village leader. These soldiers will greatly expand your combat power. However, it should be noted that hostile tribes and low-prestige settlements will reject your request.
Players can choose to evolve their troops into higher-level units. The highest level of arms is six, and each evolution requires gold coins, iron stones, wood and even rare jade. But the soldiers of each tribe have and only one unique sixth-level strongest unit. So when you decide to train these soldiers, please determine their strengthening route in advance to avoid suffering losses due to wrong choices.
At the same time, there will be merchants on the map selling beast units that can be used by our side. Some wild forces and mercenaries in town taverns can also be your life-saving straw when you are short of troops. Please use them flexibly.
2. Join a tribe or become your own king
As the adventure continues, the tribes in this desert will gradually begin to know your name. You can choose to have a good relationship with the tribe and become one of them, or you can build your own power and become one of the candidates to compete for the dominance of the desert. No matter what you choose, Tribes & Scimitars imposes no restrictions.
If you want to join a faction:
First, you must have a good relationship with the tribal leader or a tribal reputation of 10 without being wanted. Talk to the leader at this time to join the force. At this time you will obtain the corresponding power title. This represents your contribution to the tribe and will also determine the rewards awarded to you by the tribe leader.
Players can increase their contribution through siege battles or tasks assigned by leaders. When the contribution reaches a certain level, the tribe leader will grant the player character a fiefdom. The calculation of contribution is related to whether you participate in sieges and whether you own too many fiefdoms. High contribution and leading sieges will increase the rank of a fief, while having too many fiefs will lower it.
When a player owns a territory, he or she can build buildings in the territory and obtain taxes and additional soldiers from the fief, the number of which increases as the title increases.
If you want to make yourself king:
There are two ways to establish your own force: first, when the player character does not belong to any force, you can establish your own force by capturing a town. The second is when the player obtains a fief from a certain force. At this time, he can choose to rebel and form his own force. The price of becoming a king on your own is that the attacked force's favor with you will be greatly reduced, so this requires sufficient resources and combat preparations to achieve the goal.
After becoming the leader, players can adopt diplomatic policies with other tribes as the king of a country and exchange money for favor. Or form an alliance with it, cease war, or declare war, etc. The success rate of diplomacy will depend on the force's favorability towards the player and the comparison of the camp's basic strength. In addition, players can choose to directly attack the territories of other tribes without declaring war. The price will be a decrease in the favorability of the entire tribe, so please choose carefully.
After the player captures the last city of any force, if the force does not acquire a new city within a period of time, the force will be declared dead. Similarly, the city owned by the player may also encounter attacks or rebellions, thus giving rise to new forces. This is a very natural situation of generational change, and understanding the movements of some old forces in the field will effectively prevent this situation from happening.
3. Meet new partners
In "Tribe and Scimitar", there are hundreds of NPC heroes with different personalities and origins. Winning them under your command will help your adventure. Some characters with high favorability will also unlock command skill strength to enhance the abilities of specific types of soldiers in the team.
But precisely because each hero is unique, there are a few details that you may need to pay special attention to before meeting them——
The most direct way is to let these heroes get to know you and have a good impression of you. Giving them gifts they like or saving them when they are attacked is the most direct way. Gifts can be obtained by exploring dungeons or defeating bandits. In addition, completing the tasks assigned by them will also effectively improve their favorability.
If the hero is currently in the wild and the favorability is higher than 20, players can directly choose to recruit him. If the hero has already joined another force at this time, you must wait for it to become independent before negotiating. Please note that any act of poaching from his force will cause changes in the favorability of other characters in that force.
At the same time, when these NPC heroes are in the same team, due to their different personalities, they may have good feelings or friction with each other when facing the same event. Depending on the player's choices, they will become friends or enemies, or even leave the team due to disagreements. So when these random events happen, be careful with the character you want to maintain goodwill with.
4. Explore new areas
In addition to the "Red Stone Valley" described above, there are several other areas in this desert. In addition to different environmental features, these areas are also filled with different forces, enemies, wild creatures, equipment, props, etc. Exploring these new areas will allow you to meet more new partners and learn new skills.
Due to the constant changes in time and situations in the game, players may encounter different encounters every time they step into these new areas. If you have not set foot in these areas, making some appropriate material preparations or using a map to determine the direction you want to go are some good ways to deal with it.
5. Continue to promote the main line
The main mission is a very good guide. It can not only lead you to appreciate the mystery and charm of the desert, but also remind players of what they need to do next at the appropriate time. So when you are confused, you might as well read the introduction of the main task first and try to complete it.
We recommend that new players’ actions should be centered around the main plot as much as possible, and that they can freely try other exploration methods after several rounds of play.
The above is all the introduction to the gameplay of "Tribes and Scimitar Mobile Game". I hope it can help players in need master this gameplay.
