== Strategy ==
Tupis help improve archer attack, treasure collection, and turtle strategies. Tupi Forest Burning reduces the cost of buildings by 20%. Tupi Animal Lore lets the player train Buttercup the Pet Cougars, which can be useful at the beginning of the game to collect treasures faster.

Militarily, Tupi Poison Arrow Frogs improves the attack of all archers, both on foot and mounted. This is especially useful for civilizations with strong archers, such as the Aztecs, Inca, and Japanese.

Their unique unit, the Tupi Blackwood Archer, is a foot archer with few hit points, but high base damage, both at range and in melee, and can be a powerful ranged support unit if protected by melee units.

== In-game dialogue ==
The language spoken by the Tupi is either the extinct Old Tupi or the Modern Tupi (also known as Nheengatu).

== History ==
{{quote|When the Portuguese, French, and Dutch penetrated the interior of Brazil they encountered a number of warlike and aggressive tribes called the Tupi. The coastal Tupi lived mainly by agriculture, growing manioc, yams, tobacco, beans, squash, peppers, and other crops in forest clearings. When the soils were depleted, they would move to a new location, clear the trees, and replant.<br /><br />In the sixteenth century they became embroiled in the wars between Europeans fighting in Brazil, mainly the French and Portuguese, who both employed native allies. Many of the Tupi were forced to work on the plantations, but they fared poorly and died. They suffered from epidemics that swept through their villages, and were forcibly taken from their villages to be sold as slaves, often by enemy tribes. European encroachment spread as the trees were cleared, and sugar plantations were established. Devastated by the recurring wars, disease, and slavery, the remaining Tupi withdrew up the Amazon into interior lands the Europeans did not want.}}
