The Tar Walkers are a minor "West Coast" tribal nation situated in Southeast Utah.

Background

Once all of Utah trembled at the name Tar Walkers, their tribe once strong enough to threaten any tribe even the well fortified settlement of New Canaan itself, however a mysterious ailment has befallen their people. With many of their best laying sick or dying the opportunistic Whitelegs and 80s quickly expanded their own influence at their expense, with the tar walkers being forced to fall back, seeking refugee in the mountains.
- Scenarios country selection screen quote

The Tar Walkers occupy the multitude of passes throughout the mountains on the northern part of the Colorado and lie in the path of expansion of both the White Legs and the Eighties (and eventually the Ouroboros) making their destruction a certainty if left to their own devices. Fortunately Mormons from New Canaan seem to have gained interest in this tribe and sent a missionary to their lands.

Mormon influence

Tar walkers are one of the tribes under the influence of New Canaan. They will receive various bonuses as New Canaan progresses throughout their focus tree, eventually either forming a faction or being puppeted instead.

Conscription Law

Main article: Conscription Law

While the tribes have always had groups of wariors and pathfinders, the rest of the tribe was free to work on diferent projects, the coming war has forced more and more tribesmen to abandon their jobs and enter the warior caste, the tribes economy and culture suffers. Born wariors Division Organization: +5% Monthly Population: +50% Recruitable population: 4% Construction Speed: +25% Research Speed: +20% As per our tribe's tradition, we must assure only our warrior class ever set foot outside of our villages. The wasteland is a cruel place, full of horrible creatures and savages. We must take extreme precaution in deploying our people, and so only warriors trained from birth may earn the honour of waging war for the tribe. Requirements Veteran pathfinders Monthly Population: +25% Recruitable population: 7% Construction Speed: +10% Research Speed: +10% While it may be a mistake to break ancient tradition, we should consider increasing our fielded manpower. The tribe requires more of their own to defend itself, as such we shall consider deploying our most veteran pathfinders and hunters along with our warrior class, supporting them in their noble fight against the cruel wasteland. Requirements Able bodied tribesmen Monthly Population: -10% Recruitable population: 10% Recruitable Population Factor: +3% Construction Speed: -10% Research Speed: +5% The outside world batters and wear down our tribe constantly, dangers besetting us from all side. We might not be able to survive without drastic measures, as such, we shall now deploy every able-bodied tribesmen. Courageous, trained, and following our tribe's most difficult warrior ritual, they are hardy fighters, ready to defend our land. Requirements First sons and daughters Monthly Population: -20% Recruitable population: 15% Recruitable Population Factor: +6% Construction Speed: -15% Shamed and humbled by our enemies, we must seek refuge into the inner strength of our tribe. While it is deeply unsettling to resort to such measures, we must now force a general conscription on every first son and daughter of fighting age of every tribe member. It is a harsh decision not taken lightly, and we shall make sure to use them for a higher purpose. Requirements Childern and mothers icon Childern and mothers Division Organisation: -5% Monthly Population: -25% Recruitable population: 20% Recruitable Population Factor: +10% Construction Speed: -20% Research Speed: -10% The bloodthirsty savages are at our door. We are facing nothing less than the total annihilation of our way of life, as well as every member of our noble tribe. May our gods forgive us for what we will do, but we have no other choice than to send everyone into the fight, be them children barely able to swing a knife or their mother trying to protect them. The least we can do is deploy them together. May They have mercy upon our sinful souls, for our consciences will have none. Requirements
