You'll notice that Ernalda Feeds the Tribe has a different set of rewards than Orlanth and Aroka, though there are similarities. Before anyone gets too excited, there's only one treasure here and isn't very good; it ensures the first sacrifice to Ernalda you make in a given year is successful.

The passive benefits of Ernalda will improve crop yields, but nowhere near as much as choosing it as our reward. That or reconciling the carls is what we want.

Okay, it's now Fire season. While we can raid, we might be better served heroquesting, sacrificing or trading, since we can raid (and have better odds of success in doing so) in Dark.

I just noticed that we're down the Shield blessing; that would be much more beneficial than the Steadfast blessing we have right now.

>>28274891
Let's pick a fight with a weak clan. Anyone who fights better than children are bound to fuck us up.

>>28274935
Winning battles. Having good events happen. The Morale ritual. Completing heroquests. There's a feedback loop of sorts, high morale gives bonuses to skills, high skill checks make completing events easier, completing events boosts morale, and so on. Completing Elmal Guards the Stead should be a big one since he's our clan's patron.

Jenestni it is.

>>28275438

Mmm, we outnumber them. Let's murder their people.

>>28275438
Can we take captives? I like the idea of just charging into their land and forcing them to pay not to be slaughtered by the dozen.

>>28275448
>>28275456
Both are actually quite difficult. I'd suggest burning steads, then killing or taking captives next attack.

>>28275456

Technically, but it's not wise. We'd need to outnumber them a lot more to have good odds, and we're not thrall-takers, so it's not especially useful to do (if we were, it'd be free magic).

>>28275478
Let's burn their shit, then. Also, use some treasure I suppose.

>>28275478
Fine, fine. Burn the fuckers out.

>>28275478

Hmm, I thought killing was easier than burning. If it's the other way around; sure, burn them.

I just started my first game in this. Excellent game thanks /tg/.

Should I worship all the Gods ? Its seems expensive...

Iam making a tribe called Astora, who worships Elmal mainly.

>>28275510
Killing is third most difficult. Destroying fortifications and seizing land are the only harder. This is for victory, not for dealing casualties.

Worshipping is worth it. Give in units of seven. 14 is a good number.

Wait, missed this part. You don't want to do it all at once, and you don't want to be sacrificing to Malia or any of the unholy trio. There are a few gods who are always good, and others that'll be more or less useful depending on where you are in the game. There are two good LPs of this game on LParchive, and two previous playthroughs on suptg. Read those to get a sense for the flow of the game, but ware spoilers.

Loaded up one of my old saves and scummed the hell out of the quest with an Orlanthi. No change.

I think I was remembering that if a Humakti fails, sometimes he becomes an Orlanthi, and got the order mixed up.

I think we should demand annual tribute. We need to grow our herds still, right?

>>28275889
>Orstalor's suggestion.

Though awesome, that feels like something with a serious potential to bite us in the ass. That said, 26 cows is pretty insulting, so I'm inclined to go with 2; we can raid them again once they default, and beat up the stags while we wait.

Even when there was strife between the gods, Orlanth was magnanimous in victory. Accept their due tribute - if they refuse to pay, they reveal their knavish nature, allowing us free reprisals.

Also, what fortifications do you have? It looks like we have the goods to put up something better.
