True. Buying a new copy of the game is cheap... =)
But lets see what we can do for you...
However, I suggest following the advice of your Ring and reading the background information provided in the game itself (not the maual)
Others will give more detailed answers but that's the basics.

You MUST go on quests to succeed. Its not possible to win otherwise. And try the game on "Easy".
The "Myths" section of the game (they are on the status wheel you see, one is marked by a old person telling a young person a story) details what the Gods did to succeed the first time - and the stories are all interelated. The Sword Story and Humakt the Champion are related as are the Issaries and Lankor Mhy quests (I love how they are seen from opposites sides). Reading these will give you the hints you need to survive a quest.

Forming a tribe requires 3 things:
A few allies (least important)
Performing the Orlanth Makes the Storm Tribe heroquest (must be done at some
point)
Having the reputation of a "King" (Blind Seer shows up after that point)

Not dumb! Hope we can help.
The biggest hint: Think like a barbarian.
