Cheers man! What's Tribe like, anyway? Is it kinda like Age of Empires, the Total War series, etc.. or what?

Oh, and although Tribe is freeware now you have to pay to sign up to fileplanet and download from there.. which is crap. lol I can't afford to pay for any games because I quit my job recently and don't know how long it'll be before I start work again. That's why i'm looking for free stuff.

Thanks for your help guys! Keep it coming!
