The year is 3941 only one year after the close of the original TRIBES story and the Children of the Phoenix have initiated a truce that might stop warring among tribes once and for all. The success of the pact seems unlikely, however, as the leaders of the Diamond Sword will not address the issue, the Blood Eagle faction is on the brink of civil war, and certain members of the Children of the Phoenix want to force the other tribes to unite under their rule. Most of the weapons from the first installment of the game are present, while the inclusion of new ground vehicles the Wildcat-Class Grav Cycle, the BeoWulf Assault Vehicle, and the Jericho-Class Mobile Point Base adds a new element to the sequel. Larger levels mean that you’ll have to search a little harder for weapons and vehicles, and variable weather conditions will have you battling the elements in addition to your opponents.
