Seems we're going with tribute, hunting, and cultivating. Barring some crisis, I'd really like to double cultivate next turn, so we can max it out while we have a hero, see what innovations that produces.

Turn 8: Beri Jendegertu - "New Neighbors"
In the aftermath of the long series of raids, your hunting began tending toward the northern fields, more occasionally intersecting with Muinehiza hunters, who collectively helped intimidate the Muinoba into periodic offerings of grain and youths who could be incorporated into the hunting bands with a minimum of trouble. The swell in the number of those with jendeseri ancestry meant additional people to go out and sow the fields, taking advantage of the swelling of the river.
These activities were frequently accompanied by offerings to the spirits with increasing frequency over the years, as the grain-tenders sought to ensure the land in their care would not be ravaged by raging floods.
Thus this generation of your people prospered. But whether the situation would remain steady was uncertain, as life on the river always was. In particular, the river has come dangerously close to ruining the fields you and the Muinoba rely on in recent seasons, and new bands have made their way into nearby lands. To the south, a large group atop felled, floating trees has settled on two sides of a bend in the river, while two jendibili groups have come in out of the arid fields to the east and west. So far all have warily kept their distance for the most part, and as you know there are no groups of note north of those you already have stable relations with, but the world is wide, and who knows what it may encompass?

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.

My apologies for the delay here. A cold I thought I'd fought off has apparently decided it's time for Cold 2: Cold Colder and it's been wrecking my energy level.

Whatever we do, let's not take the isolationist stance as that will lead to us falling behind over time. Also, let's do some fishing. Now that these guys are here we should be able to develop boats quickly by copying them.

@OliWhail shouldn't this also give us a possible response? Or is that what the "warm ties where possible" entails?

I don't really have a preference between double training or singular raiding paired with singular training. As long as we train in preparation of punch.

Approval voting some fishing alongside our war prep. I like this tributary setup and am interested to see how far we can take it.

Oh boy, more people. Remember, our trait means that we have to think carefully about who to fight, because we're going to have a hell of a time going from war to peace.
And Jesus Christ, that's a serious improvement to agriculture. Unless we're already in an econ hole, Cultivation x2 just became our best econ option, as it creates a big surplus across multiple turns. Hunting is now for repairing negative econ, droughts, and increasing martial.

Voting for a neutral response while we sharpen our spears, spending time to learn more about our new neighbors. If one of them appears to be a threat, we boost raid them. If not, we boost hunt.
