HOW TO DESIGN NEW RACES
General new races and tribes development stop currently, guys! Let's concentrate on what we have instead of developing the 1467th race or tribe. Thanx for understanding, but this is a necessary measure we have to take. Quality beats quantity. Let's go for more depth!
HOW TO DESIGN NEW TRIBES
Overview
A brief paragraph summarizing your tribe or race. E.g. where located, boundaries of kingdom. Mentioning of most important things to provide a general orientation.
Appearance
Physical and or psychological characteristics.
Coat of Arms
Describe the tribe's coat of arms, if any, and perhaps add why it looks like this, what the symbols mean and what historical, cosmological or mythical significance they have.
Territory
Describe where the people live: natural boundaries, conditions there, if they're nomands when and why they leave, when/how they came there.
People
Describe here what makes the people unique and special. E.g. good horsemen, fighters, etc. Just mention there what this tribe has what others don't have. Mention special abilities here, e.g. magic, training ect.
Housing
In what kind of buildings do they live in?
Clothing
Clothing worn: discern between men/women if possible and seasons perhaps..
Food
Any special foods they eat. Take into account the circumstances they're living in.
Weapons
Weapons - any special ones they use? Or what are the most common among the tribe? Describe them here!
Occupations
If any: men/women
Government
Describe what form, e.g. Monarchy, Democratic, Republic, Emperor, Tribal, Tyranny, ect.
Production/Trade
What does the tribe mainly produce and is there any trading with other tribes?
Natural Resources
Describe what natural resources may be found in your land area. Please take into account where the tribe in fact lives.
Holidays, Festivals and Observances
Describe the celebration days (religious, pagan etc.) which are of importance for this tribe.
Important Achievements
(Optional)
You can mention here for what exactly the tribe is famous for, like an important building which was erected, inventions, political breakthroughs etc.
History
* Origin/development of tribe or race.
* Important people (plus living dates) or events in this tribes or race's history.
* Any Cities, Castles, Strongholds built by your tribe/race should also be put in your history.
