Speaking of bugs, I've started encountering a couple of annoying ones.

Last night, after finally getting into the endgame, I came across two things that were happening repeatedly:

  1. After raiding a member of an allied tribe, we were asked to pay compensation, which we did. Immediately, we were asked again to pay compensation. That gets expensive in a hurry, having to do it twice. This happened two or three times. Yes, I know, I probably shouldn't be raiding allies, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
  2. When the Colymar and another tribe are warring, and we offer to broker peace, things look to be going well, but the meet never happens. This has happened several times, with us offering to broker peace, and them accepting, but nothing coming of it. Then, a few seasons later, they will be at war again, we'll make the same offer, and they will accept, and the meet will happen (unsuccessfully, unfortunately).

I don't see any way that would be connected -- did you lose the battle?

Fixed internally, but I still want to put a couple more fixes in before a release.

There usually is a reason (specific clan-level grudges because of tribal politics), but you raise a good point -- "Improve the mood of the tribe" ought to be able to help with this. I've entered this into our bug tracking database.
