Finding or creating a tribe

Getting in to a tribe is an important part of the game. It is almost impossible to survive without tribe. There are usually a lot of tribes sending out invitations to everyone but usually these tribes end up nowhere because they recruit a lot of horrible players what kills the tribe.
When starting a new world there is no rush for getting in to a tribe. I would suggest waiting at least for few days before deciding which tribe to join. Not always the tribes with more members are better. It depends on player and especially leader quality. There are few main factors which you should consider before joining the tribe or if you are already in the tribe how to tell if it is a good tribe to stay:

1. Amount of members` tribe has. You don’t need to search for the tribe which has the most players because they usually recruit everyone in their sight. But you also shouldn’t join tribes which have only few members if you are not sure that they will recruit some more.
2. Member location is very important for every tribe. You can have all the best players in your tribe but if they are spread all over the world and can’t cooperate it doesn’t mean a thing. Members also shouldn’t be places in too tight clusters because that way they will slow each other down and it will be harder to expand and grow.
3. How organized the tribe is. Even the best tribes can fall if they are not acting together. Tribe must have a strong leadership which will unite all the members. You can also see by tribes forums how organized tribe is. If they have very messy forum (I don’t mean many posts) and you can’t find the information you need then there is something wrong with the tribe.
4. Diplomatic relations. Most tribes tend to get as many diplomatic relations as possible without thinking if they will benefit their own tribe. I was happy so see many light blue dots around me too when I just started playing tribal wars and thought that we are unbeatable with so many allies and NAPs but I was wrong. You should only consider signing relations with tribes which you can work together and that will benefit both tribes or else you will just surround yourself with even more blue dots and block your growth.
5. It is better if tribe uses skype or any other chat program for communication. It will not only speed up all the process but will also let you know your tribe mates what can improve your team work.

If you have joined a tribe but see that it is going nowhere I would suggest you to leave as soon as possible and find a better one. There is no use for staying in a tribe just for sake of it.


If you want to start your own tribe, think again. There are usually huge amount of tribes with 1-3 players. These tribes failed at recruiting what is not as easy at it may look. It is better to start a tribe when you have already few players who you know will join you. People tend to join tribes which already have some amount of members instead of 1 man tribes.
Leading a tribe requires much more time then simply playing. You will have to solve all the internal problems and if your tribe is doing somehow good you will have to answer loads of mails every day. You will have to think about all the strategies and tactics. Will need to push your members and kick those who are not participating. Probably you will also need to account sit more accounts then anyone else. There is a huge list about “things to do” when you lead a tribe. But if you are sure you can spend more time and lead a tribe then go for it. But remember that there is nothing worse for the tribe than inactive leadership.
