This is something that comes up in conversation now and then. We have no current plans to increase zoom, but it may happen in the future.

2. If the Yadäkk are considered the nicest tribe, who'd be the meanest? Excluding the Vengir, who have a good reason to be upset most the time.
3. Where do Giants come from? Are they a result of magic?

1. Nah, it's just a representation/abstraction. If you look at our Tribe Moon pictures, you'll see that the towns are spread out.

2. Probably the Luxidoor, they're snobs.

3. Giants are a subspecies of Polytopian. Albeit rare, they're able to be coaxed out of their homes in the wilderness and... Read more

When a tribe is annihilated, does that mean it no longer exists? Or only that it was pushed away from the territory?
Do the yaddak trade with other tribes, or only among themselves? Are they friendlier than other tribes? Or are they just a bunch of scammers?

1. They force them to join them. Thankfully, Polytopians are easily swayed.

2. Eradicated, mainly through persuasion and cultural erasure.

3. The Yadakk do trade with other tribes, and are deemed friendlier than the others. They'll still kill you, though.

Why are they called tribes and not empires or civilizations?
Do the tribes hate each other, or are there some sort of alliances/pacts between them?

1. Aquarion are kinda fishmen? What you see on them is a helmet, but they can breathe underwater. Why don't they just swim everywhere? Why don't you just walk everywhere?

2. "Construction" doesn't refer to the "actual ability to build structures" but more "advanced techniques."

3. Because Midjiwan wanted to call them tribes. :P

Neither. Gaami are extradimensional beings that come from a dimension of permafrost. They're a race of powerful wielders of ice magic, and they bestow that magic to the Polaris to help them freeze the Square.

For the record, no one has actually seen a Gaami. They all sit safely in their home dimension using their magic to animate Mooni and pilot the constructed avatars you see in the game.

Mooni are constructs assembled out of bone, cloth, and whatever else and animated with the power of Gaami magic.

They use their antlers to focus moon energy into icy blasts.
