Let's Meet the Hoodrick

"The Hoodrick are known throughout the Square for their baked goods. Quissberries can be made into pies, cobblers, tarts, fritters, breads, jams, and a multitude of other delightful confections, and even their enemies have to agree that no one can bake like the Hoodrick."

Hello Polytopians,

In this post, we’d like to tell you more about the Hoodrick! The Hoodrick are crafty folk known for their skills with a bow. When they’re not baking cakes and taming Hooxe, they’re sending a rain of arrows upon unsuspecting foes!

They ride the hardworking Hooxe:


And eat the delicious Quissberry:


The Hoodrick begin the game with the “Archery” technology and start with an Archer instead of a Warrior. The Archery technology provides them with the ability to train more Archers as well as a defensive bonus for all units in forests. Having ranged units and plenty of forests means that the Hoodrick are often very difficult to siege.



With the power to make Archers immediately, the Hoodrick can easily outrange early enemies and use those Archers as support for stronger units later on. Also, due to their terrain having a strong bias for forests, on top of the easily defendable spots, the Hoodrick have some additional versatility if they can manage to research the Forestry technology as well.

If you want a tribe that can snipe their enemies from miles away, or just want a peaceful life munching on sweets under the shade of a tree, then the Hoodrick are the tribe for you!
