Tribes

Players will not need to join a tribe to play the game – however, they will need to stake their $V tokens through a tribe to earn a share of protocol fees. Tribes function similarly to Clans in MMORPGs. Each Tribe will have their own Tribe Tag, that will be displayed to the left of their account name when they send a message to the in-game chat.

As the Tribes of Vinland grow and mature, players will be able to discern the playstyles of different kinds of tribes in ways that will affect both their behavior and the meta of the game. Tokens with holders from Tribes known for prosocial behavior, for example, may become more desirable and gain an in-game advantage, whereas tokens held by members of Tribes known for mercernarial behavior may be less desirable. Vinland will also feature Tribal leaderboards and tournaments where Tribes compete 1v1 in a winner-takes-all game mode.
