I managed to do it, because I put magic into mysteries and questing instead of herds and crops, and didn't explore or set up trade routes.
I reorganized my ring to include a Trickster and made my best Orlanthi fighter chief, even though his leadership was only Good. I sacrificed three times, and eventually got the secrets of "Making a Tribe."
Second action of Storm season, we invited some allies, but they didn't show. The stinkers. But he managed to prevail, anyway.
I decided to restart, because the auguries at the next year were "you're all going to starve", and didn't have the infrastructure to cope with that...
Anyway, I don't see how a beginner could manage that.
On another note, I got that wandering party of adventurers in my second year one game. I tried killing them. We nailed the duck, but they killed most of my thanes and dragged the body away. Bummer.
