This ain't threadmarked dear Whail!
[X] [Blood] Yes.
So for reasons we may want this:
It will encourage more martial bents in our people. It is very much a Pro-Horde type of trait, because as someone mentioned it encourages blobbing.
Punch based diplomacy is hilarious.
This has a good basis for a future Justice trait line, in that conflict resolution can potentially be resolved by fighting in ritualized duels or in fighting together against a designated enemy. Perhaps a ritualized hunt of dangerous animals or something.
I don't expect to be successful in getting SV to fight everyone.

This value makes raids of opportunity an incredibly bad idea, as even minor skirmishes will boil over into blood feuds. I'd rather be able to take advantage of weakness when presented, and forge strong ties with the currently-strong neighbours rather than just the ones most familiar.
Major Mysticism value get.

Each side of a hex marks out ~3 miles.
The black border is the area your camp wanders around within, and the area shown is how far out your hunters typically travel.

For vote tallying this time around, I'll be taking *all* the votes from 5.1 onward (as in, "newest votes only" is unchecked in the tally), so you don't need to re-vote for your [Blood] choice.

Now that I've thought about it, that downside has serious consequences later on. Right now, every one is weak enough we can smash them with one or two turns of raiding, but at later stages, going to have to fight every war unto the knife. Our diplomacy will be very inflexible, as we're going to have to decide whether to ally or destroy someone when we first meet them, and we'll have a very hard time changing that later on. Finally, if all our enemies take getting raided super personally, we run the risk of getting coalitions formed against us. If they all really hate us, why wouldn't they ally each other?
Oh hey, an update.
[X] Intensify Cultivation x 2
I don't know what threshold means, but I want to move towards settlements. We've developed an anti-settler culture, so this is going to cause trouble, but it has to be done. Might as well rip the band aid off.
[X] [Act] Train Hunters x 2
I'd also be cool with this.

Let's follow up on our success with another go at the farmers. We lost last time because they had stupidly good rolls, but that doesn't mean it'll happen again.
edit: also, we have enough Econ that even if we fail again we're still safe.

Thresholds are checked after immediate costs/gains for the turn have been applied, and the action goes forwards if it meets the threshold.
In our case, we need to have at least 1 Econ after all costs that turn for Intensify Cultivation to work. If our costs push us down to 0 Econ or lower, Intensify Cultivation will fail from lack of labour. It also stacks, so two Intensify Cultivation requires 2 Econ to pull off after costs.

I can't decide on the Blood Brothers vote, so I'll leave it to someone else.
