The Hvaljavik territory has constantly had invasion attempts (Always led by either Hoodrick or Bardur) and was a warzone between those two tribes until the native peoples of Hvaljavik decided to rebel against these two tribes and create their own society. The Hvaljavik are well respected for being the best whale hunters in Polytopia, but this doesn't mean that other tribes don't crave the whales and Hvaljavik territory for themselves...

Resource Spawn Rates[]
Not much land, lots of water, lots of ocean, more whales than most tribes, lots of fish.
Guaranteed to start with one whale next to its city and one or two more a tile farther away (for when you get border expansion.)
Very little farmland, some forest, not much game, not much fruit.
Not much mountains, but most pieces of land are mountainous.
City is guaranteed to have at least on ocean tile in its radius and at least two shallow water tiles with fish.
To put it simply: a lot like the iron islands, but with whales.
Gameplay[]
Strategy: get fishing, investing in land resources is a waste because this tribe doesn't have much land.
Use whaling to get the whale you start with and try to use it to get sailing on the first turn. you should be able to get a port fairly quickly, if you are lucky enough to start with two whales you will get a port on turn one.
This tribe is very dependent on the water, dominate the seas.
Relations[]
Good relations with Luxidoor
Okay relations with Imperius, Oumaji, Zebasi, and Quetzali
poor relations with Hoodrick, Bardur, Xin-xi, Kickoo
