or can 1/4 give enough food to not starve... Doubt it...
It's somewhat likely it will actually, 4 breeding on the first turn will consume 15 food(5 for original members, 2 for the new ones, 8 more for breeders). So long as the hunting 5 doesn't get a 1 or 2 on his food roll he'll bring back enough. It's a risky play but could give a strong head start.
And then there is Askot's method using focused hunting. So long as he doesn't get a 1 he's good to go.
Seems I inadvertently made more interesting starting moves possible. However I'll still look into more advanced choices.
Turn 1-2A lone 5 goes on a hunt for food. (5*6=30) couldn't have hoped for a better result.
The rest of the tribe begins breeding, safe in the knowledge that their food won't run out.
A 10(9) and a 2 are born.
You then cast Create Bone, making up for the lack of gathering for that resource.
