Description
The eighth in my series of fully scripted games, it's Five Tribes [Fully Scripted]!

Important, Please Read
  • You must disable MSAA in the graphics settings or else the game will go slow. This is due to having 100+ buttons, and I couldn't find a workaround. I apologize for any inconvenience.
  • You cannot zoom in/out while your mouse is over any button(the whole board). Place your mouse off the board on the table to zoom in/out.
  • Alt does not work on buttons, but you can magnify using the 'm' key. You can also right click anything in this mod to see what it does.

Instructions
  • The game will automatically switch between Solo and Multiplayer Game Modes based on number of players seated. You can manually change it.
  • Press the "Start Game" button when all players are seated.
  • During Bidding Phase:
    • Click the number on the Turn Order Track for how much you would like to bid.
  • During Action Phase:
    • Click any tile/meeple on the board you want to select.
    • Mouse over the tile you want to drop the next meeple, then click the meeple you want to drop.
    • You can click any previously placed meeple to undo to that point.
    • You can click the tile you started with to start over/pick a new tile.
    • After dropping the last meeple all actions will resolve. Follow any instructions presented.
  • During the game, you will sometimes have to make decisions. Buttons will appear on your screen, and you can click one to choose.
  • Djinn abilties that can only be used at certain times must be clicked to use. They will highlight if they can be used.
  • Your turn will automatically end unless you have anything you can do before the end of the turn. If you can use anything, it will be highlighted in your player area. Click the "End Turn" button at the bottom of the screen when done.
The game has you covered for everything else. Enjoy!

Description from BGG
Crossing into the Land of 1001 Nights, your caravan arrives at the fabled Sultanate of Naqala. The old sultan just died and control of Naqala is up for grabs! The oracles foretold of strangers who would maneuver the Five Tribes to gain influence over the legendary city-state. Will you fulfill the prophecy? Invoke the old Djinns and move the Tribes into position at the right time, and the Sultanate may become yours!

Designed by Bruno Cathala, Five Tribes builds on a long tradition of German-style games that feature wooden meeples. Here, in a unique twist on the now-standard "worker placement" genre, the game begins with the meeples already in place – and players must cleverly maneuver them over the villages, markets, oases, and sacred places tiles that make up Naqala. How, when, and where you dis-place these Five Tribes of Assassins, Elders, Builders, Merchants, and Viziers determine your victory or failure.

As befitting a Days of Wonder game, the rules are straightforward and easy to learn. But devising a winning strategy will take a more calculated approach than our standard fare. You need to carefully consider what moves can score you well and put your opponents at a disadvantage. You need to weigh many different pathways to victory, including the summoning of powerful Djinns that may help your cause as you attempt to control this legendary Sultanate.

@Majin Wamu

Glad you are enjoying my mods! I'm not as big a fan of the other Azul games, so I probably wouldn't do them if I get back into modding. I did try to make an AI player for Five Tribes, but I couldn't figure out how to program them in a way that didn't freeze up the game(too many possible moves). There is the official solo mode though. If you want any scripting advice, feel free to add me on steam. To be honest though, unless you are trying to create fully scripted/locked down mods like these, I might not be too much help.

This is the second of your series I got to try and they are amazing. It would be cool if you had the time to create more Azul scripts. I may try my hand at creating some scripts myself. It would be neat if this game had some computer players too, but I bet the complexity of this game makes that extremely time consuming. If you have a patreon, buy me a coffee, or any kind of donation service, I would gladly reward you for your hard work. Thanks again for the hours of entertainment you have brought us.

You have to enable the expansions in the settings for them to show up.

That could be. I honestly cannot remember now. Will try again when I get a chance.

The manual mode button won't do anything unless you double click it. Are you sure the game was over then? Maybe you still had turns, that's why it didn't score yet. The game ends the round where there ar eno more valid moves, or someone has placed all their camels. You still play out the round though, then it scores at the end. Maybe you had a valid move left that you didn't notice?

@Ramun Flame

Thanks for the reply. I didn't get the score pop up. However I think that may be because I clicked on the manual mode, but didn't follow through with it by double-clicking. I will give it a try again to see if I still have a problem.

It should of been obvious when it was scoring if you were playing with scripting, and a score sheet should of popped up on the right side of the screen, like this.

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1676990001714629227/BABA0BF86C8EB2683799688BDD8E82CE5C4050FE/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Also it puts a gold border around who won. Maybe you were playing manually? You have to calculate your own score if you do that, but you can still use the score sheet to automatically add it up.

Hi. Thank you for this awesome mod. Is the points scoring automatic (2p hotseat mode)? And does the script say which player won and by how many points? I played a game and didn't know who won. Cheers
