Tribute bar in 2022

Tributing is the mechanic used for sending resources to ally players.

Gameplay[]

To give/tribute resources to another player, look at your resource counter at the top of the screen and click on the numerical resource count. This will take you to the Tribute Panel which will let you send resources to your specified party. You can also access the tribute bar in the balance icon while selecting the Market.

Without upgrades, the Tribute Ratio is 2:1 (from the sender to the receiver).
