I admit that when it comes to splitting, I usually choose the least satisfied portion to split off, and do not give them land. They resent us for it, but they are far away and weak :) Occasionally if I have been aggressive about growing, and/or it is almost the end of the game, I'll split the tula and choose a happier split. But usually land is in demand, and seizing more is always difficult (especially when hedged in by your own tribe), and will need to give land to the darned Telmori, so......usually send them far away.

Well, there is a way. Each time that people show up to complain,
either give them gifts or raid for more land. I don't remember how
much exactly, but I think I've gotten my population up to 2,000 -
3,000 or so this way.
Note that this will hit your clan morale hard. Though a big size will
also give you a lot of resources, so you can keep gifting people and
throwing feasts to compensate.
