A Tale of Two Games:

Level 47 Game: I was in one of the top tribes. The level requirements kept going up each week. I was able to keep up. It was fun. But, when I saw other players leveling high but not quite to the tribe's goal, and then being booted off, I felt bad for them. I left the tribe when one of my loyal friends joined, leveled up btw 60-80 and the chief kept their monster silenced and placed in the background. Also, the benefits of earning starpower were not yet revealed and I needed a reason for spending the resources each week. And...my once visually pleasing Ethereal Island had now become overcrowded with monsters. So there went the possibility of gaining island votes. :)

Level 21 Game: I joined a tribe and to keep from getting booted off I would level my monster as much as I could. In one week I was able to level my tribal monster to level 11 all while sending a Mammott to Gold Island and while saving up for one of the expensive Earth Island castles. Meanwhile other tribe members stayed at level 1. :(  Then I left so I could save for the castles faster. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't join a tribe until I was done purchasing all of the castles with coins.

The ability to communicate would definitely improve game play. Then the players would know the tribe's expectations before joining and choose a tribe that best suits their needs.

All in all it was fun and a great way to get extra diamonds. My games are in hibernation for now. And I am currently busy with two Dawn of Fire games.
