Yădakk

The Yădakk tribe is one of the 15 current tribes in the game, and the final human tribe. They start off with Roads. They resemble the Turkish/Central Asian steppe tribes along the silk road, who had both Eastern and Western influences.

In-game description:

"The Yădakk started out as a nomadic tribe in the beautiful harsh Khalee plains. Now they are the trades of the square, connecting their empire with impressive trade routes."

Appearance

• Fruit: Khizuz (Lemons)
• Land: Steppe (Dry grassland)
• Forests: Fat bushy trees
• Animals: Khamelks (Reddish-brown camels with antlers)

• Cities: White brick frames with red or gold domed roofs and with tall, spindly tower or yurts
• Helmet: Fez with tassle
• Color: Crimson

Strategies

The Yădakk can be hard to play, as they don't always have a sure resource to spawn (fruit tends to be most common). Like other tribes without a dominant resource, you'll want to rush whichever resource is most available. However, the Yădakk can usually get ruins on Turn 0 by building roads to one. This gives them a huge step up in the early game, as ruins are very rewarding, especially when acquired on turn 0. After you upgrade your cities a little bit and expand, it is hard to decide on a decisive military strategy. Knights or riders can be effective, as they can be combined with roads to get a huge movement boost.

Trivia

• According to the web shop, every Yădakk, after a long journey on the roads in their lands, enjoy drinking hot Khăl-iz around the stove in their yurts. The drink pitches the drinker's voice so they can sing properly their traditional chants and songs.
• In the ambience which plays throughout Yădakk lands, several sounds are heard. These sounds are strong wind blowing through the steppes and birds chirping.
• The Khamelks (their "national/tribal" animal) may be strongly based off the Yarkand deer, a subspecies of the Red Deer, which inhabits/originates from Central Asia.
