The World of Malaya

◇

Tribes of Malaya is a browser strategy game set across the islands of the precolonial Malay world. You lead one of three tribes, build an economy from the ground up, and turn raw resources into the warriors that decide who rules the seas. Every system feeds the next, and small efficiency gains compound fast. This wiki documents all of them.

  1. Gather Mine ore, fell wood, fish, and farm to stock your storehouses.
  2. Craft Turn raw materials into tools, food, and weapons along recipe chains.
  3. Train Convert goods into warriors at the right buildings and tech tier.
  4. Trade Swap surplus with other players at fair, worker-minute value.
  5. Conquer Raid rivals, defend your tribe, and claim the archipelago.
