The yellow autumn leaves of the Hoodrick woods are perfect hideouts for its peculiar mushroom stuffing inhabitants.
Tribe description
Hoodrick is the sixth tribe in Polytopia. It is a regular tribe that starts with the Archery technology and an Archer unit.
Hoodrick has immediate access to Archers, but this also means their starting unit is vulnerable to other tribes. Hoodrick player must be extra careful with where they choose to send their starting unit, lest they encounter an enemy early on and lose both their unit and the village. Economy wise however, the Hoodrick biome has the most forests out of any tribe, which not only can be used to build Lumber Huts and Sawmills but also provide a defence bonus to Hoodrick units (since Hoodrick's starting technology, Archery, unlocks the defence bonus in forest). Hoodrick is thus best played conservatively early on, with their main power spike coming in the mid-to-late game when they can get their Sawmills online and get their Super Units.

- The Hoodrick Quissberry tea is known all over Polytopia for its refreshing and mind sharpening abilities.[1]
- If you ever encounter a Hooxe in the woods, be sure to always carry a handful of Hurgh mushrooms in your pocket. This might prevent unnecessary death, since the Hooxes are crazy about this rare delicacy.[2]
Inspiration[]
The Hoodrick tribe is primarily inspired by Medieval English culture, but also encompasses other Western European cultures such as Germany, France and Spain. [3] Their half-timbered style of architecture was common across many areas of Western Europe, whilst the English mythological figure of Robin Hood provides inspiration for their appearance, name, and starting tech of archery.[4]
