Wandering Tribes Public Games Now Available

Thursday, March 23, 2017

We are now offering public games using the Wandering Tribes starting scenario. For those unfamiliar with Wandering Tribes, in these games you start with no planets, but instead have 6 fully loaded Super Transport Freighters to build your empire with. Each freighter is loaded with:

  • 1500 clans
  • 200 duranium
  • 200 tritanium
  • 200 molybdenum
  • 500 supplies
  • 1000 megacredits

Games will have 10 players, with 1 player for each race except the Cyborg and Horwasp. Those races' ability to grow their population from natives is considered too powerful in this scenario where players start with many fewer clans and without a starting homeworld to grow them on.

The Wandering Tribes games will rotate through the various starting position options, so be sure to check the game description to see which is being used before you join. The options are:

  • Use Homeworld Areas - Each player's freighters will start as a fleet in the general area of where their homeworld would have been. This is similar to the standard player layout just starting with freighters instead of a homeworld planet.
  • Everyone at the Center - All freighters from all players start at the same spot in the center of the map.
  • Random - The freighters are scattered across the map individually, instead of starting together as a fleet.
