Hopefully we can evolve it to something that doesn't have social stratification, while still netting us bonuses towards martial. If we can't, then we'll likely have to seek a way to supplement our fighting prowess.
Plants that make raw sugar are rare in colder climates, but...we are aware of sweet foods already. Sugar is not exotic enough to rank as spirit food by that..

Not convinced, as maple syrup could be boiled into sugar. Also, just because the Fingers discovered fruits that tasted sweet doesn't mean they wouldn't call sugar Spirit Food.

We should find a way to boost the elite trait, social stratification is inevitable as society advances, we can only mitigate it or redirect it for our benefit.
Hopefully we find a trait that helps social movement, so that we don't get a caste system which is the worse of stratification

I'll address this more in depth after work, but long story short: if you don't want to have social stratification and a noble class, give up on ever moving past the level of tribal confederation. Actually, even a tribal confederation might be too complex without having elites; chieftains after all tend to be some flavour of nobility. Having Elites is absolutely, 100% necessary, if you want to play a game of civilization.
You've heard nothing from them. Feodor knew that Alvar killed a lot of hunters in the Creek Battle, but it's been a few generations since then. They might be re-surging. They might have collapsed entirely. You would need to send an exploration north to find out.
Also, to Everyone, please for my sanity (and to reduce levels of salt in the quest) please vote by Plan.

Isn't the palisade there still standing? I'm concerned about crystal lake.

Your plan is missing an [Action] vote. If Expand Wolfpacks is added to the plan, I'll support it.

Considering that building the palisade is still an option for the Fingers as a location, combined with the wording of how our raid on the Fingermen's settlement went, I'm assuming that the palisade that was destroyed like much of the settlement was when we raided it.
@Redium Can we have confirmation? Is there are Palisade at the Fingers settlement or was that burned down?

Hmmm.
Well that's a trick. Honored Elites is going to cause !!FUN!! for us, since things similar to meritocracy(it's not a perfect fit, but its close) in the neolithic(or any time pre-industrial for the most part) is kind of really hard to get right. I'll be really frank when I say this does not make me very confident in our continued happy existence, thinking about the potential future complications.
Though right now, it's actually really helpful for pushing our government/social organization up to the next level!
