Travel back in time once again and set sail on new quests to familiar as well as foreign places all while building your own career as chieftain of your tribe.
Tribal Trouble 2 is a cartoon style 3D real-time strategy game set in the wacky Viking age where pillaging and plundering were everyone’s favorite pastimes. The game starts off somewhere high up in the Cold North, where you are chieftain of your very own tribe. Your hometown consists of little more than a couple of sheds, a carpenter and a small row boat. From here it’s up to you to turn it into a bustling city and make your name feared in all of the realms – all the way down to the African tribes in the Deep South. Success won’t come by itself though: you need points to purchase new buildings and enhance the abilities of your Viking raiders, and points are won only on the battlefield!
