Description
The Tribal Faction is one of the 14 factions in Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. It is based on a time in prehistory in which humans were cave dwellers and now extinct animals such as the "Mammoth" appear. Its units are based of from 2.6 million years to 3,300BC. The Units appear as primitive humans and animals. ("Clubber", "Mammoth" etc.) It has two regular Tribal maps, as well as a much larger sandbox mode map. The Tribal Faction has Cavemen, Dinosaurs, Cheerleaders and Mammoths.
It is the first faction introduced in the Campaign, and the first Faction the player has to use in TABS.
It is an offensive faction, privileging crude damage to protection as every "human" Unit barely wear loincloths and bone as armor/armour but wield quite powerful weapons. The high damage and low defense/defence can be hard to use well tactically, but makes it very easy for beginners to learn how to use.
Another strength of the Tribal Faction is the overall cheap cost. All the Units except for the "Mammoth", which costs 2200, cost 400 or less, so players can place down a lot of Tribal Units to swarm the map against lesser amounts of enemies that are stronger. However, this proves futile against crowd control units like the "Catapult" or "Zeus" who can easily decimate the army with their attacks because they have moves that can hit multiple units at a time. And while the units are cheap, they're not necessarily the most cost-effective, especially since the two ranged units have very long reload times for weapons with limited usability. Using them well against other, better-equipped factions will require strategic deployment and placement of units.
