The only thing that comes to mind immediately is that the Sable tribe has the advantage of its herd animals being able to eat almost anything. How about making an allowance for that? Like, any hex NEXT to a fertile ground hex counts as fertile ground to the Sable tribe? That would increase their maneuverability.

The other possibility being that the Sables play a little more cowardly than normal and only enter into melee with the Impala, and only exchange missile fire with the Bison and Llama. Of course, any of the Four Great Tribes That Didn't Cheat can obliterate the Morokanth without even trying much.
