After succeeding in the long game, two more questions.
When I made my bid for victory, I was hampered by my decreasing sheep herds, as my temples consumed more than one hundred per year. As I was incredibly rich, that was not a problem in itself, but as I could not use either my riches or my magic for sheep, I was forced to cattle raid my only neighbour that yielded sheep with the cows, and then send emmissaries with goods to keep them happy.
When you attract cottars, do they bring their own sheep?
I must say, however, that after winning my first game, I have managed to make my clans disband in several imaginative ways. Peace and trade have been so far the most succesful (but coupled with a strong defence).

P.S. Trading trick. In the Issaries the Conciliator HQ, to avoid being wounded at the end, choose trade treasures, but trade the tiger eyenecklace you got before. In that way you do not end neck-deep in them.
