Alongside this, you'll also be able to create yourself an avatar for using in online matches, with a host of randomly generated options to choose between. You can also engage in Mirror Matches against the same tribe too, whether that's against bots or other players.

It also brings several changes to maps. You'll now find much larger maps that can be up to 900 tiles in size. Aside from simply being larger, there are more customisation options available for maps in the newly added Creative Mode too including choices between Dryland, Lakes, Continents, Archipelago and Water World.
