== Playstyle Considerations == For players who wish to weigh their options playing a character of one of the '''starting tribes''', [[Jeromy_W|Caspian]] shared some brief insights in the considerations to take into account when making your choice before selecting a [[Souls|soul]] for your [[Character Creation#Starting Traits|character]]. <ref>[[Jeromy_W|Caspian]], CoE Discord tag ##10.20.2018#Tribe play styles#, 20 October 2018</ref> These considerations are presented in the table below and may be expanded upon as mechanics, characteristics and common insights evolve. These considerations are also included on the pages for each of the starting tribes. ''HOLD: It is unknown if players will ever be able to select characters descending from other tribes than the original starting tribes!'' <div class="mw-customtoggle-playstyle" style="color:#070">'''''Click here to show the full playstyle considerations table.'''''</div> <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-playstyle"> <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" ! Tribe ! Playstyle considerations |- |[[Brudvir]] | style="text-align:left;" | "Isolated, Solitary, Close-knit. The Brudvir are almost always the furthest northern tribe, and lack any interaction with the outside world aside from the Hrothi and sometimes the Neran. Play the Brudvir if you're looking to master your skills in solitude or with a close-knit group of friends. Do not play the Brudvir if you're looking to create a massive settlement with hundreds or thousands of other people. Of course, they can learn to be good at sea or ocean travel, and have the lumber and means to do so. So they're also a great skirmisher clan, both on land and at sea. If you don't mind going south into the cool temperate biomes, they also make great bounty hunters." |- |[[Dras]] | style="text-align:left;" | "Acceptance and Beauty. The Dras are perhaps the most miss-represented of the tribes. On the outside they are often seen as ghoulish, ugly, and emaciated. Even the "healthier" of them pale in comparison to the Neran or To'resk in beauty. But, the Dras are all about finding the beauty in non-visual things. They find beauty in song, simplicity, effort, bravery, and perseverance. The Dras are the epitome of the idea that when the world gives you lemons, make lemonade. In spite of their persecution, and being outcast, they insist on finding the silver lining in all things. They understand the nature of the world better than anyone. They do not feel cheated by their circumstances, but view each challenge or difficulty as something to be overcome. While external beauty is not something they aim for, and as such they often use substitute materials than what might be used by the other tribes, they are still more than capable of creating beautiful tools and fine arts. Because of their past experiences with the To'resk and Janoa, they are among the best at reading people. They are often called upon by the other tribes to serve as adjudicators, counselors, and trusted advisors. They are wise, calm, collected, and typically not prone to hot tempers. Play the Dras if you value "alternate forms of beauty", "roleplay," and overcoming adversity." Play the Dras if you want to favor intellectual and a touch of social pursuits over the martial. Do not play the Dras if you're looking for skirmishers or heavy martial tribes." |- |[[Hrothi]] | style="text-align:left;" | "The Hrothi are an organized clan with an inherent caste and social hierarchy. They value age, wisdom, and the beauty of the eternal. Play the Hrothi if you want to play with a group of organized people who have a very focused, driven purpose. The Hrothi take their role as Shield of Virtue seriously, if they don't entirely know why, so also play Hrothi if you enjoy RP'ing a decent amount. Above all though, the Hrothi are a defensive, stalwart tribe. So if you want to play a defensive, stable, solid tribe, that tends to keep to their own but feels they have a purpose, go for it. Unlike the Brudvir, they make terrible skirmishers. They are great front-liners, but you'll always hear a Hrothi coming. If you want pitched battles, digging, tunnels, libraries, and hoarding - everything, knowledge, wealth, influence, religious relics, etc. The Hrothi are a great tribe." |- |[[Janoa]] | style="text-align:left;" | "Bravery and Strength. The Janoa value the hunt and physical prowess over all things. They seek only to evolve into the best martial versions of themselves. Seeking to attain enlightenment through combat, none of the tribes are as dangerous in one-on-one combat as the Janoa. But the Janoa also value tradition, ceremony, and status within their tribe. Often going to dangerous lengths to increase their position in the tribe. On the flipside, while they value tradition, ceremony, and strength, they have very little positive to say about the other aspects of a person's life, and while the Dras are perhaps the most accepting of others, the Janoa are the least. Put simply, personal goals, strength, and ambition is of the highest importance. Play the Janoa if you want to play a strong and fast tribe. Play the Janoa if you want to be a hired militia, bounty hunter, or other skilled champion. Play the Janoa if you want to play a tribe keen on conquering and expansion through military conflict. Do not play the Janoa if you want to play a strong social or intellectual tribe. Also do not play the Janoa if you want to interact with a large number of other players or cultures. Like the Brudvir in the north, they are the furthest south and typically will only see players of the To'resk, Dras, or Janoan tribes." |- |[[Kypiq]] | style="text-align:left;" | "Inventive. They say necessity is the mother of invention. Nothing is more true than with the Kypiq. Their diminutive size makes them easy targets for most other tribes and animals while on the ground. So the Kypiq will typically stick to the trees as much as possible when in their own biomes. At the same time, they use inventions as a way to offset their disadvantages. If man evolved because of our use of tools, then arguably the Kypiq are the most evolved of all of mann-kind. At the same time, when they are on the ground they rely on stealth, subterfuge, and trickery to make themselves seem more dangerous or less obvious. Both approaches work. In terms of play, the Kypiq face many obstacles as a tribe, which typically brings the tribe together as one. The kypiq are likely to attract a warmer, friendly group of players due to the inherent challenges they face. I expect a good deal of roleplay as well to offset the inherent stress and anxiety that comes from being such easy targets. So play the kypiq if you want to have fun, tinker, and hang out in the trees. Do not play the Kypiq if you're looking to conquer, expand, or dominate martially." |- |[[Neran]] | style="text-align:left;" | "Diversity. The Neran are the most adaptive, which allows them to exist in virtually all temperature regions. They span from the Lower Montane Forest in the sub-arctic, cool temperate, all the way to the Grasslands and Shrublands in the sub-tropical. They are the jack of all trades and the masters of none. Play the Neran if you want mounted combat, animal taming and breeding, and focus on a broad set of crafting and other skills. They are the Riders of Rohan and the Dunedain. Because of their jack-of-all trade nature, they are attractive to less hardcore players, and will thus likely have less RP'ers. If you enjoy a custom meta, play the Neran. But do not play the Neran if you're looking for the same deep, meaningful story integration, and strong tribal culture that exists within the other tribes. Their adaptive nature means that the Neran have no real identity of their own to speak of." |- |[[To'resk]] | style="text-align:left;" | "Society, Courtliness, and Comfort. The To'resk are the "Nerans of the south," however their different religion and role in the Godswars have put them down a different path. They interact with and act as traders, brokers, and merchants with all of the southern tribes, as well as several of the northern tribes. They are among the most skillful in social skills and value wealth and mercantilism. Because trading and deals are so much a part of their culture, they value honesty and integrity perhaps more than other tribe. As a result, they both deal harshly with criminals, and have also become the masters of telling the truth without telling the whole truth. But that is not all there is to the To'resk. Like the Neran, they have many skills, but unlike the Neran, the To'resk have a more divided society. At one end are the aristocrats and courtiers, while on the other end there's the rice farmers, fishers, and sailors. But this division of culture also provides some of the best opportunity to rise up through the ranks. Play the To'resk if you want to be heavily involved in the Dance of Dynasties, want to rise up through the ranks to build a noble house, or want to play a sailor, merchant, or trader. Do not play the To'resk if you want be a strong martial or military society, as the To'resk value the pen over the sword." |- |[[The Waerd]] | style="text-align:left;" | "Community and obligation. The Waerd value their community in a way none of the other tribes do. The Waerd see their strength as an open collective, relying on everyone to make their society better. They work toward their utopia, while at the same time trying to do the Will of the Queen. From a gameplay standpoint, the Waerd are skillful in many things, both intellectual as well as martial, and are great information gatherers. In their own biomes they fill virtually every role, while out in the other biomes they act as craftspeople on loan, information brokers, spies, and even assassins. Their major weakness is that they are hampered on the battlefield. The mechanics typically associated with pitched battles and group combat doesn't work on a battlefield for the Waerd. As a result, they are both less effective on a battlefield, and also in greater danger than the other tribes. Play Waerd if you want to build a community utopia, and work together with other players towards and idealist community. Play Waerd if you want to be an assassin, merchant, information broker, spy, etc. Do not play Waerd if you are a solo player, prefer to just quest all day, and are looking for pitched battles." |- |} <div class="mw-customtoggle-playstyle" style="color:#700">'''''Click here to collapse the full playstyle considerations table.'''''</div> </div> </div>
