Strategy
Yădakk can be hard to play, as they do not have a dominant resource (although fruit is the most common resource). Buy the technologies to harvest whichever resources that are most abundant. However, building Roads on Turn 0 allows Yădakk to more quickly capture a village or reach Ruins. Having Roads drastically increases the movement of Riders.
The Khamelks (the Yadakk animal) may be based off the Yarkand deer, a subspecies of the Red Deer that inhabits from Central Asia.
The extended Yadakk theme Saladik Ătjum is the only extended tribe theme to have a music video. The music video showcases Midjiwan and Midjitone (who composes the music for Polytopia) acting as the "Yadakk Orkestar," playing several different instruments.
