There is a limit on how many shrines and temples a clan can support - -- just in terms of having worshippers. Becoming a tribe allows more. It's possible that the messages about this no longer appear.

There's no Undo button in life, either...

The farmers may not be the most articulate (always talking about food), but the real problem is that Orlanthi clans simply can't govern themselves over a certain size.

I believe you sent e-mail with more details -- this may be a bug.
But if that was a different Australian, once the Feathered Horse Queen shows up, you are indeed on the road to winning. Opportunities will present themselves.

That's certainly news -- we explicitly put in a save option at the end of the game so you can save this if you want. Are you sure you saved after winning?
