[X] Path of Trade
Voting for trade instead of War, because if the War specialization is going to be useful we would need to actually fight in wars.
Specifically Wars of Conquest, to take other peoples stuff.
And going by past experiences in questing, that type of action is one that is rarely voted for.
So best to focus on diplomacy and trading instead of wasting build points on something that will never be used proactively.

Then shouldn't you be voting for the Settlers? This is my vision after all:
Our people shall be like a mountain, towering above the peoples of the world.
Our people shall be an ocean, drowning our enemies in fathomless depths.
Our people shall be as the sky, encompassing the world in their grasp.
And ours will be the Eternal Empire, where the sun never sets, for this is our manifest Destiny!
This is the path of the settler. Not war for the sake of blood, nor trade for the sake of treasure, but both for the sake of expansion and domination!

As for Wanderer and Settlers: There was far too much opposition in the ranks of the tribe for that. The morality would be down from the first day, not a good start.
Trade could have been a very good thing, but for trade to flourish you need to get stuff that others are not able to produce themself. longer journeys are risky and not suitable for a tribe which has problems surviving and ,my guess is, that in the closer area there are barely things tradeworthy. Also there would be the question on how they would aquire the goods in the nearby area (without stealing, which would be path of war) when apparently the village doesn't think that they have anything worthwile.

I'm pretty sure settler is mostly about farming, to be honest
