Every time before this I've sent off volunteers, and
they've gone off fairly friendly and I've maintained
good relations with them, and often formed alliances
with them. This was the first, and last, time I send
off the best equipped. I'd split the tula once
before, so had no more land to give away, but these
grumblers said I was less than generous for not giving
them part of our lands, even though I made sure they
were well equipped to survive on their own! and their
starting attitude towards my clan was neutral instead
of friendly. So definately no more sending off the
best equipped.
I've never sent off the grumblers, as so far I've
played balanced clans that really don't want too many
enemies. Typically one clan to keep our war magic
sharp on *grin* Of course, for the most part I also
have quite good clan mood, so I don't have a lot of
need to send off the grumblers.
*shrug* I'm glad you related your experiences though,
because I'm sure my turn will come to pack off the
ingrates!
