How to Make Friends in the Tribal Phase of Spore
Spore is a video game which was developed by Will Wright and published by Electronic Arts in 2008. Players are required to control the development of a tribe of alien species through various stages. The game is divided into a number of phases such as Tribal Phase and Creature Phase. Making friends with other tribes in the Tribal Phase is changed from befriending tribes in the Creature Phase. In the former phase, you have to make use of gestures whereas in the latter phase, you have to make use of musical instruments.

At the start of the tribal phase, most of the tribes which you plan to befriend would be hostile. The aim is to prevent wiping them out altogether by befriending them. Presenting those tribes with a basket of food as a gift may work. You will require at least 10 Food items for each basket. Right click on the food pile or hut of a hostile tribe in order to present the gift basket of food. Doing this will neutralise the hostile nature of the tribe.

In the tribal phase, you have the option to make three additions to your village. Each addition you make to your village will give you the ability to make a particular type of instrument. Wood Flutes, Maracas and Didgeridoos are the three musical instruments you can make. Except from the first and second tribes you try to befriend, all other tribes would want to hear all three available musical instruments. A possible way to accomplish this is to divide your tribe into three sections and assign individual musical instruments to each of the three sections.

Make sure that you have at least one member of your tribe guarding your food pile while others are busy trying to befriend tribes. Food pile needs to be guarded because from time to time, wild animals will try to steal your food. You will end up with a disaster at your hands if your tribe runs out of food.

Make your tribe member play for the neutral tribe you are trying to befriend. Equip your players with musical instruments and click on a member of the neutral tribe. Your players will start playing the musical instrument they are equipped with. However, the neutral tribe members may want to hear a different musical instrument which will pop up as a bubble over the neutral tribe members. Playing the appropriate musical instrument while the neutral tribe is listening will gain them as allies.
