Tribal Base

Tribal Base (175 Power)

At 499,600 gold this is an expensive must-have, especially if you do not have the Birthday Cake Base. What makes this base really sweet is the Power boost and the extra edge of Attraction - if you do the math, you'd realise that when paired with strong traps, the apparent weak power of the Tribal Base is meant to mislead..

Power Bonus: 18%
Attraction Bonus: 2%
Luck: n/a
Cheese Effect: Fresh

The three rival mouse tribes of Elub, Nerg and Derr very seldom come together, but when they finally get around to negotiations after their latest skirmish, they meet on this elaborately carved tribal mask. Only the eldest of the mice from all three tribes are allowed to work on constructing the meeting place, which is hallowed by the tribes-mice due to its origins in the Jungle of Dread. How frustrating for these master crafts-rodents that the trapsmiths co-opt their art for traps!

The Derr Tribe

The Mice of Derr Dunes
The red garments hide the effects of the harsh wastelands where these brave mice reside. Which is good for the queasy hunter that uses a strong (or lucky) physical trap to hunt these down. Gouda for most, otherwise Crunchy.

Attracted by the Crunchy Cheese only, dropping the Red Pepper Seed
Aged Mouse Drops the Rhino Horn	Derr Chieftain Drops the Ancient Mangled Blueprint	Gladiator	Guardian
.
Attracted by the Gouda and Crunchy Cheese
Grunt	Healer	Mintaka	Renegade	Seer
.
Spellbinder	Trailblazer	Wordsmith

The Nerg Tribe

The mice of Nerg Plains
These mice love the color green and clothe themselves in garments largely in this shade. Of course, this also makes them blend in with their terrain, so you'd need your best Tactical traps to grab them.

Basic ones are attracted to Gouda and the stronger ones require the Gumbo Cheese.

Only Attracted by Gumbo Cheese, these drop the pepper seeds
Defender Mouse	Grandfather at Cape Clawed, Drops Thorned Vine Only	Nerg Chieftain Drops Ancient Ripped Blueprint	Slayer

Attracted by Gouda and Gumbo, these mice drop only Savoury Vegetables

MousehuntGuide Toolbar Updates - Aug 09

Hey fans,
Tidied up the mousehuntguide toolbar just a little.

Added the Tribal Cheeses and the first three craftable traps there.
I've also included Sean D'Hoostelaere's new site for his Guide to Mousehunt - I really like his writing style.. Go check it out there..

And gamers of PackRat will notice that they can flip over to that customized toolbar by clicking on the (+) on the left of the Mousehuntguide toolbar. Yes yes, there's also a MythMongerGuide toolbar there which is still very much a work-in-progress stage (sorry about that)..

Do let me know if I can add anymore stuff to the toolbar to make it a faster way to the games and favorite areas.

:J

The Elub Tribe

The Mice of Elub Shore.

Also known as the Blue Tribe, they are susceptible to the Hydro Traps. No surprise that their garments are tinted blue. I think it's from all those seashells..

Attracted by the Shell Cheese only, dropping the Blue Pepper Seeds
Champion	Elder Mouse At Cape Clawed, Drops the Ancient Spear	Elub Chieftain Drops the Ancient Frayed Blueprint	Protector
.
Attracted by the Gouda and Shell Cheese, these drop Shells
Alchemist	Alnitak	Mystic	Pack	Scout

Soothsayer	Taleweaver	Vanquisher

ok ok .. the large images for them a little later..

Trap Recipe - RhinoBot

RHINOBOT:

1 x RhinoBot blueprints - buy at Cape Clawed General Store

1 x Rhino horn - collected from Aged mouse in Cape Clawed using Crunchy cheese

24 x Stale SB - collect from SB+ gone stale (a good way to get stale SB is to arm your ACRO with the explosive base and SB and sit in the Meditation Chamber ;)

1 x Drillbot parts - smash your Digby Drillbot with your crafting hammer

Description:

4750 power

Power Type: Physical

Power Bonus: n/a

Attraction Bonus: n/a

Luck: 6

Cheese Effect: Very Stale

Stale SUPER|brie+ has been found to be a harder substance than that of diamond, a property that the mighty RhinoBot puts to good use. Describing the power of this massive instrument of mouse destruction is simple: whatever it hits, it destroys.

[Rant]

Powerfullest physical trap in the mousehunt game so far.. :)

And I don't own one yet.. :(

Thanks Al, for the pix and the tip about the Partybot still being a better trap (I wonder if the 27Aug tweak by the developers have made it better?)

[Latest Rant]
Ooooo... the Chillbot is sweeeet.. Looks like I don't have to sweat over getting this one so soon.
