Post your orders as you would. Keep in mind for your orders that 1 month into your turn (1/3rd of the stuff) you finally arrive at your village, so it's partially taken up.
Also, when you do arrive then, you will discover it was a battlefield. Mokoli warriors are left to rot in the village, you see the dead chieftain. Your father isn't there, and he'd be next in line to lead the tribe. The Mokoli warriors with you, the ones you were supposed to go along with to gain fighting experience, have no clue what to do and by the nature of your blood relation, they are turning to you to figure out what to do (18 warriors).
So yea, that's why I wanted to pop in today and ensure that you got the orders you want regarding that situation.
So anyway, waiting on that and Firelordsky's before I run the turn to completion. Or Saturday afternoon sometime, if nothing is provided.
Just a hint for you Yoink, Your raiding band has no more food remaining. The village also has no usable food in it. (Taken for the non-meat, but quite visibly the meat your tribe used to have is all burned. There is no ENEMY dead laying around in the village.)
(Edit: Here are the turns.
I really liked these guy's name. Well seeing as nobody chose to continue on with them this last season, I'm retiring them. They have been absorbed into another tribe. The Almache are no more. They live on by giving me the Daluche though.
Mokoli lead unto death. Might makes right. So escape or lead Mafun.
Mafun returns from his raid to find lots of dead Mokoli warriors. His village is abandoned. His fellow warriors look towards him in leadership, but clearly he is still in shock. He shifts through the wreckage of the Mokoli village lifelessly, as if he had no idea of what he wanted to do. The year passes by. The warriors attempted to hunt in the woods nearby, with Mafun and two warriors left to guard their 6 females. The females were also forced to prepare some of the dead warriors to eat, what they could find that was edible.
1 Month hunted food, 2 months eating your own. Your band had 4 months when they started out, used 2 tracking the Almache, 2 coming back. Your "Tribe" has 1 month of food remaining. Your captured females are proficient at foraging. The Mokoli are a raiding band and therefore are not good hunters. Perhaps you should integrate the foraging skill into your gathering efforts. Provisions will be needed to keep the females from running away.
Your hunters found the remains of your tribe wiped out in the woods. There were two additional skirmishes. The final stand was pretty clear, as in addition to your father and 10 other adult males, at that site 2 Adult females, one infant that appears to be a halfbreed Kovan, and all children over the age of 9 were found executed. It looks like all the rest were taken east, in the direction of the Kovan. Only the adult males died in battle, the rest killed afterward.
Your warriors are unhappy about the lack of direction you have had this season, and are extremely bothered by the elimination of the majority of your tribe. There is mild grumbling in the camp. Another bad month and you may be challenged for leadership.
Mafun's Holdings:
Tribal Leadership
Village Assets:
1 Band of 19 Warriors and 6 Captive Women
1 Month of food
This little tribe is becoming quite successful. The question is, what happens now that it is the point of the Mokab people? Will there be a greater war of Mokabbians against the Daluche, or will this become a greater area than before? We'll see how Noka and Fire lead this little section, and if Mafun throws the entire region into chaos with his band of warriors.
One Gokanloa youth has come of age. There is a celebration in the tribe as it now holds 17 adult males.
Noka's ministrations seemed to have had a positive effect on the birth rate, and a little girl was born into the village.

And Poof, Micelus has just got everyone a personal minion with family strings attached. I made Nix and Azkul hunt together, since NRDL didn't specify "alone" and buffalo drops don't work too well alone.
Micelus buys himself 8 slaves. While you had the pick of whatever you wanted, for whatever reason you get 2 male and 6 female, all adult (If you wanted something else, you should have specified. This splits your tribe evenly male/female for adults) Since you weren't looking for any particular skill, you managed to get them fairly cheap. They each cost 1 sheep and 15 lbs of wool. The chief isn't sure about your decision to add outsiders to your tribe, but defers to his friend's judgement, however he makes you pay for half of the sheep cost out of your own stocks. (4 sheep). He spends a lot of time learning the Kodana language. This is difficult because the slaves don't speak it very well themselves. He has more success learning the language of the slaves.
Tak'am gains himself an apprentice from amongst the tribe's children. He continues to tend the children with his wife. He also studies the villages from a distance to attempt to gain information about their culture.
The El-effichen travel down to Ebanias. They don't appear to be suffering from any noticable problems, however nobody was able to communicate with enough skill to be sure. Micelus's training with his slaves did help in understanding that the Kodana operate in a city-state format. Tak'am is also able to figure out from his study that the slave caste appear to come from a different genetic makeup than the Kodana, and that they come from a wooded area to the east. Ebanias seems to really like the painted hides, and an offer of 10 good quality woodwind Musical instruments for your painted hides (something like a recorder.)
The El-Effichen celebrate a new baby boy born.
The women tend the children while the men tend the herd.
The Chieftan decided to trade Wool for food. He traded for 6 months of food for 4000 lbs of wool.
Ahra attempts to make a bone amulet, but it doesn't turn out right at all. It takes 4 attempts before he makes anything that could be considered even passable as an amulet. (Poor quality Bone Amulet after 4 attempts). He is married to one of the recently freed slaves.
Both Azkul and Nix marry one of the recently freed slaves between hunting attempts.
Nix hunts. Azkul co-opts him into his plans, as both methods count as hunting and a combined effort allows more chances to catch missed prey. (Because you never said otherwise, I'm using this to educate you guys a bit)
Nix's superior tracking ability allows him to easily find several Herds. The first he finds is 10 animals. The second he finds is 65 animals. The third he finds is 19 animals.
Azkul's superior herding capability allows him to easily control these herds along the routes that they want.
The first herd Nix managed to kill three before the rest escaped. Azkul was relatively ineffective.
The Second herd Azkul brings three down with his bow and Nix brings down four before the rest get away.
The third herd things go very badly and almost all of them get free right away. Nix still manages to bring down two right up, and Nix takes another one and Azkul two from the ones that didn't quite escape in the disaster.
In total, they manage to bring down 15 Buffalo-like creatures. The hides are given by kills. The food is added to the tribal supply.

I'm seeing a pattern here. The pattern is that warlike civilizations aren't doing so well. The Almache incursions stirred up the Mokoli against them, and the Mokoli raiding band of 20 men attacked and wiped them out. The Mokoli's attack against the Kovan (which seemed to me like it should be done, seeing as they were expansionist) caused 14 out of their 27 villages to take offense to the issue. This naturally lead to war, which meant that as soon as Fall harvest was over, the Kovan would attack the Mokoli with a levee. Their population of over six thousand was able to dispatch 110 troops with relative ease to eliminate the Mokoli.
So yea, if you are going to be warlike, make sure you are in charge and give some orders that don't provoke larger neighbors. I'm particularly looking at the El-effichen, whom are in a very dangerous area, even if they don't understand it.
