The good luck just couldn't continue, I guess.
1353 started off well enough, when after emptying most
of our treasury and depleting our herds, we finally
won the kingship. We immediately sent off a trade
caravan to trade for more cattle. The very next thing
that happened was the tribe showing up insisting that
our king had dishonored their traditions and demanding
that he step down! Geez, I never realized that
Kuschile was such an offensive guy, to piss off an
entire tribe in a matter of weeks :(
I figured we should try and buy off the least opposed
clan, and then maybe we could bring the whole tribe
around, but instead all our bribery ended up doing was
splitting the tribe in half, with ourselves left with
only two tribe-mates.
Well, I thought, the Dundeos tribe seems to be doing
OK with only 3 clans, surely we can survive--and heck,
maybe the ducks will petition to join us. Then, a
season later, the entire tribe falls apart since we
can no longer support the founding vows.
I really thought about just going back to a saved
version at that point (since I crash about once a week
when playing at work, I save frequently), but I have
yet to go back just because I didn't like the way the
game was going, so I kept going. I had a choice of
carrying on as a lone clan, or joining another tribe.
Well, one of our allies had already joined the Dundeos
tribe, so we gifted our way into it too.
So, two seasons and over 300 hundred goods and cattle
later, we are back to waiting for a chance to become
king!
*sigh*
