I purposely curry favour with my ducks neighbour in my latest replay. When
the time comes to choose which clans to include in our tribe, 9 choices we
had, yet none of it was duck.
I keep showering them with gifts and honouring heroquests on their behalf,
to bring us closer. In the end, the Beaker Ducks petition to join our tribe.
Of course the rest of the clans refused and laugh at us. I persist with
reloading to see what types of result I can get. The best to my experience
is for them to be accepted as only special ally.
Pestering them with gifts afterwards and begging for alliance only gets
snickers from them, giving excuses that a special ally arrangement is
already the best it will be.
PS seems like the ending has been extended from the old one that I used to
know. Sooooo many extra paintings has been added, what a wonderful show of
beautiful collage. Appropriate close to a long chapter, ending mp3 should be
added next.
