The tranquil and wise Ai-Mo tribe inhabits the harshest, windiest, and highest mountain range of the square, where they have found inner peace by meditating in the eternal evening light.-Tribe description
Ai-Mo is the tenth tribe in Polytopia. Ai-Mo is a regular tribe. It starts with the Meditation technology.
Ai-Mo is a lower-mid-tier tribe. It has varied resources, and Meditation is a sub-par starting technology, being neither a resource nor a military technology. Also, its benefits have little use, especially in the early game, besides the fact that it allows Ai-Mo to receive an Altar of Peace as early as turn 5. Furthermore, the technology Meditation leads to, Philosophy, is rarely used and has the greatest utility during the late-game. These factors make Ai-Mo particularly weak in the early and mid-game as it needs to research various resource and military technologies.
Resources[]
Ai-Mo has 1.5x mountains and 0.1x crop.

Inspiration[]
The Ai-Mo are influenced by Tibetan and Andean cultures.[6] Prayer Flags, shaved heads, and meditation are icons of Tibetan culture; chili, whitewashed villages, and colorful decorative flags are of the Andes. The Llamos that the Ai-Mo hunts and rides are inspired by real-life llamas, which originate from the mountainous Andes.
