You are at the edge of Jungle/Forest. It does get cooler in the winter, but still no real snow.

[Yoink]

Well, after much consideration...
Mafun will explain to the men that the women, even if they were captured from an enemy people, are vital to the survival of the Mokoli in these difficult times. The uncooperative ones are to be left in the main living shelter and left mostly alone, with their hands bound and tied to it with a short length of rope. The others will be allowed to pretty much wander freely within the village, but always within sight of one of the men.
When outside the village they must be accompanied by a guard at all times, just in case.
When Mafun's not otherwise busy working, hunting, scouting or talking, he will use his natural charm (Read: being less fearsome-looking than the other men) to try and win the two women still resisting over. Also, he will talk to the other women, and try to work out if their language is similar at all to Mokab, and how possible it might be to teach them. He'll tell the men to treat the women with respect, as even though they don't speak Mokab, they are now part of the tribe.

I love how this game actually gets me thinking about my turns.

[Ahra]

may as well hunt in the drop fashion some times and reinforce the clothes when the sheep are calm. also, watch the damn sheep

Mokab and Daluche are quite different. It's not like French/Spanish, but more like French/Danish. Maybe even more separate than that.
I'm reading this as you are going to teach the Almache women how to speak Mokab, and that you want to pick up some Daluche while you are at it?

also, watch the damn sheep

You will be at the clanmeet this summer, which means that you'll have assistance watching your herds. Your tribe is expected to provide some watchers, so this is a very good order for the summer. Otherwise, this would only work if you were alternating with another individual for the part of the time you are missing.

Watching herds is a full-time job. You can do some tasks with it. Like you could reinforce clothing while watching them, but drops require you to not watch them for a period. The smaller the period the fewer absolute sheep that are lost of course, but it doesn't prevent attrition on the herds completely.

Without doing any checking, I estimate you all can handle a herd of about 800 sheep and 200 goats, roughly. If you all were watching the sheep instead of hunting, then the herd you have could have been managed. The "Big 2" when it comes to managing the herd are Ahra and Azkul. During this clanmeet, your herd is probably going to shrink quite a bit, so it wont be as big of a concern, but if you intend to only watch the herd for part of the time, make sure you know who is taking up those control points for the other part of the time. If nobody, well if it's inadequate then for the missing time you'll have sheep/goat losses.

[Ahra]

right... in short ill simply reinforce and watch

[Yoink]

Well... Okay I'll try and teach them Mokab, although without devoting more time to lessons than just the evenings, I doubt I'll get too far in one season. And all my earlier orders still stand, obviously apart from the ones replaced by the new lot.

Well, I tried to give you time to join prior to the turn. Meh. Next season maybe.

The chief slaughters 66 sheep to feed the tribe.
The chief pays back 700 sheep.

Micelus adopts the oprhan baby as his own. He begins to learn the recorder. None of the slaves are familiar with the use of Kodana musical instruments. You kill 20 of your personal sheep. The Chief wonders what you intend to do with the extra meat you have. It seems like he wants you to add it to the Tribe's stocks. You gain 114 Lbs of Wool from your newly deceased sheep. Sylis isn't the best weaver in the tribe, but she manages decently. She uses 90 Lbs of wool and makes 5 Good quality clothes and 5 Average quality clothes.

Tak'am's wife is blessed with a daughter. She is born not breathing, but Tak'am manages to save her with his strong medicine. He teaches his apprintice to gather herbs, and does gathering as well.

Azkul and the other tribesmen watch the herd full time.

Nix asks the chief for the hand of the new woman and it is granted. He has gotten married again. He celebrates by doing a little hunting.

Ahra also helps out a little bit taking some turns watching the herd, and also goes out trying to do a buffalo drop with Nix. They set one up, but things don't work out and all the animals get away. They spend a great deal of time trying to setup more, but to no success.

Woah... tons of turn orders. I replaced all orders that were conterdicted by Later orders. It didn't happen too often.

Spoiler: Mokoli (click to show/hide)

The Mokoli attempted to get the village errected as per the map. They managed to build their raised mound with a palisade around an area roughly 250 feet in diameter. Their pit and shelter were also established. In fact they were able to make the shelter a little more permanant than was the origionally planned, as it was easier to erect wooden walls than to wait for weaving capacity to finish the rest of the structure with vine and grass mats.
Mokoli scouts have come into contact with tribesmen from two different Daluche villages. Both seemed to be realtively non-agressive at first contact. One is to the northeast, and another to the Northwest. The exact location was not identified and the scouts didn't press the issue, as they did not wish to cause a violent confrontation. If your scouts understood the Daluche language maybe more details could have been gained.
No sources of Obsidian were discovered nearby. Plenty of trees bearing wood suitable for wood weapons were found. No sources of flint were found nearby. No large animal graveyard sites were found nearby. There does not appear to be any quantity of tool material that your people are familiar with working nearby.
Two teams of 3 hunters were out consistantly hunting. They managed to bring down many animals.
4 Women with 2 guards were out foraging. At one point two of the women tried to make a break for it. The guards were able to capture the runaways and no further incident occured. Three of the women weren't very successful with their foraging, although one seemed to take it very seriously and was quite successful.

Your tribe only hunted and foraged 2 months of food. Through rationing, the Mokoli did not starve, however they are now in a weakened state.

The 2 Resisting woman were tied to the center of the living space. Mafun attempted to convince them to be cooperative. The former Almache Matron appeared to have finally accepted her place, and the remaining Almache woman fell into line with her. Finally cooperative, over the rest of the season they slowly were granted increasing freedoms until they had the same freedoms as the other women.
Mafun went out in the days to gather vines and grass. He was fairly successful and managed to ensure he had a stockpile larger than the materials used in teaching, of both vines AND grass.
Mafun was very busy every evening, attempting to teach Mokab to the woman as he taught them how to weave. He would constantly insist in the value of the basket helmets and insist that the warriors wear them. As he was chief, they followed his instruction. There was some mild grubling over it, but nothing overt. All the weaving training created 6 usable basket helmets. 1/3rd of the Mokoli now wear Basket Helmets!
Mafun made some progress in teaching Mokab to the woman. The Women seem to be grasping the language in a limited form.

Two of the women gave birth to baby boys.

Village Assets:
1 Fortified village of 26 people

Wow, things actually went fairly alright for the Mokoli for a change!
I'll start working out orders in a bit. Also, out of curiousity, how do you actually roll this stuff up? I mean, there are just so many different things that happen. It's great!

Oh dear, I'm sorry- I think I gave the wrong impression. I was just posting to track and watch the game, not to reserve a place. Like you said, though, maybe next season.

[micelus]

((I remember that I have a raven))

Give 3/4 of the food to the tribe's communal supply.

Use the remaining food to try and bait animals. Get the ex-slaves to make traps. Request the hunters to use traps and bait animals. Capture animals.

Gather some of the former-slaves and try to teach them ravenry (just falconry but with ravens).

Frustrated with having no way to communicate with people from far distances, Micelus makes a set of symbols representing certain things. In other words; make the beginnings of an alphabets.

At the Clanmeet, ask for any rumours the people have heard off and sell of 8 of my wool clothing, 6o of the recorders, and all of my painted hides.

See if there are any interesting animals available for sale. Buy any hunting animals or ravens.

Purchase more paint.

[Azkul]

Search for interesting/usable resources around the area i.e. Out of the ordinary rocks such as flint, obsidian, or rocks with pretty colours, things such as clay in the ground, and find out what the general area is like (Is it mountainous, near a river, next to a forest, in a desert?)

[Tack]

I... will I have problems with my apprentice getting jealous of my daughter?

In any case, give him part-two of herb recognition. Hopefully half a year is decent enough that he doesn't get anything too wrong.
Let him go for herbs unsupervised. The wife hopefully will be alright looking after the baby and helping at school, if that involves bringing Peyanya to school, then fine.
When not teaching the children, doing the extra tuition, or helping with Pey, begin researching better medicines with any new herbs which have been discovered.
Remember to go to the Shaman-meet, and trade knowledge of any new techniques or ailments.

[Ahra]

still, follow micelus orders and reinforce hunters clothes when the herd is calm
