what the chief wants, the chief gets. to train warriors we'll need weapons. after all, what's a warrior without a weapon? let's build an armoury, to make weapons and a gym and a range for our warriors to learn how to use them.|i ought to mention a bit about the chief. being chief is a big deal around here, everyone looks to them for guidance and support. whoever is chief gives a bonus to themselves and everyone around them in whatever task they are doing. for example, warriors will fight harder if the chief is around. look busy, the boss is coming!|while those are building, let's talk about happiness. are you happy? i hope so! in the tribe, happiness determines how willing people are to reproduce and work. unhappy people will mope about and ignore your commands. rest, food and 'tent-time' raise their spirits. enemy attacks, death, especially the chief's death, hunger, tiredness and a lack of living space will depress your villagers.|keep an eye out for what people are thinking, people's wants and needs appear as thoughts above their heads. this will help you to understand how to make them happy.|let's see if we can't put some smiles on these faces! we can upgrade huts so that people recuperate faster in them, plus they make for a more romantic environment. i mean which would you choose? a hovel or a 5 star hotel?|to upgrade the hut, select it and choose the 'upgrade' button from the menu. you'll need to get a builder in to actually finish the task.|repairing works in a similar way to upgrading. if a building is damaged the repair button will appear when you select it.|ah the armoury is ready, it's time to lock and load! first of all we need to find someone to man it. select someone and then click on the armoury. now, click on the armoury again to select it, you can see which weapons you can make here. the weapons cost and power are shown in the upper left corner. select the weapon and the amount you want to produce. the armourer will then spring into action!|when the armourer finishes making a weapon he will bring it to the store for your villagers to collect. let's arm a villager. select one then click on the store, there you can see what's been made and how many. now click on a weapon. there we go. careful! you'll have someone's eye out with that! |you can arm multiple villagers by clicking on the store and selecting a weapon, then clicking on each tribe member that you would like to arm with it on the map.|now you can send the armed villagers to train, by selecting them and clicking on the gym. just remember that they must have a weapon to train. when their skill reaches maximum they will leave the gym of their own accord.|hail chief, here are our finest and most ferocious warriors!|good, good, they look like they could give those zombies a good pummeling! now let's go and see what sort of decrepit hovels those man-eating psychopaths call home... who knows, maybe we'll be able to reason with them?|not bad but we can do better! let's have a think about how we can improve it. don't worry though, real warriors are tempered in the fray!|it's time to go and take on the world! select the 'form up!' command from the game menu and then select a point on the map. this will gather all of your available warriors at the appointed spot. you can also use 'dismiss' to dismiss them.|dear man-eating psychopaths, we....|grrrrr! rwwaaooorrrr! grrrrr!|we come in peace!|grrrr! woof! woof! grrrrrrrrrrr!|we'd better get out of here now if we want to leave in peace, one piece that is! leg it!|we found them and it appears that they're not interested in being our friends... in fact i think they want to kill and eat us all. and there are lots of them... |nonsense! our men are worth three of theirs!|even if that were true, they'd still outnumber us ten to one!|i see... that's a lot of slavering, blood-crazed maniacs... maybe we should wait until our numbers have grown before we pick a fight...|now that we are armed to the teeth, we can fish or hunt to get food. hunting gives not only food but also bones, which are needed to make better weapons and upgrade buildings.|to fish, select a tribesman with a spear and click on where the fish splash in the water.|ok, now you should know everything you need to survive. but keep your wits about you, because your tribe doesn't have any of their own!|thus the avnotaklu tribe chased it's hostile neighbours from the land. they liked the look of their enemies village, particularly what they had done with the curtains. so they decided to move in. they found the land bounteous, with animals roaming free and fruit in abundance. and so the elders met to discuss the tribes' fate and how to get the smell of cooked caveman out of the carpet...|our enemy could be anywhere... he may even be amongst us right now! is it you? or you? hmmm?|they're cannibals not chameleons chief... besides, our builders have learnt to craft watch towers, so that we can see further and defend from range. we should build some around the village and post sentries.|we lost many people in the last fight... if we have another head on confrontation like that there'll be none of us left... we should build a place where we can study the art of stealth and misdirection, so that we can take our foes by surprise.|i like it! we could call them the pia! the prehistoric intelligence agency! we'll need to give them badges...|ooooookay, on a slightly less whimsical note, our armourer says that he can produce better weapons and traps to keep the savage crazies at bay.|you know guys... i've been thinking... maybe the gods are angry with us?|what gods?|you know, the gods... the ones that make it rain and stuff!|isn't that a bit of an assumption? i mean, maybe it's water vapour gathering in the skies and forming clouds, which then burst and release the water back onto the earth?|pffffftt, listen to yourself and your 'watery ghost clouds'! you're crazy you are! besides, now is not the time for a theological debate! let us honour the gods with a sanctuary... just in case.|i want to see towers, a pia centre and a sanctuary  to the gods built by sunrise!|we here speak!|haha! look, he's trying to speak! haha!|you take we land! we take land back!|our land now! you go or we kill! you illiterate... err... no-speak-no-good person!|well i say! there's no need to be rude! right! that's it! no more mister nice-savage!|are we gonna take this lying down? i say we give these ragamuffins a damn good hiding!|oh wise and venerable shaman, what do the gods say?|hang on a mo... uh-huh.. yup.. yeah, they say do it.|well, if the gods say we go, that's good enough for me! are you sure that's what they said?|of course i'm sure, would i lie to you?|oh, right, yes.. then let's show these savages what it means to trifle with the avnotaklu!||i say, that's shown them! these helpless women and children look delectable!|you thought you'd won, but we tricked you! muaha-ahaha-ahem... yes, very clever.||they've nicked all our women and kids!|woohoo! we're free! free from the yolk of female oppression!|what are you so happy about genius?!? don't you know the first thing about reproduction? who's going to have our babies! we're done for!|come men! let us go and save our people from the cooking pot! |and so it was that the avnotaklu separated and went in search of their families... they searched high and low, near and far and farther still, higher and lower and... well you get the idea...|mmmmm, do you smell that? it smells delicious! i'm starving, what do you think they're cooking?|your family idiot! we must find our way to them as soon as we can! there is no time to lose!|crikey! that's a lot of big sharp pointy teeth! we'd better sneak around them... you go first!|why me? |age... before beauty...?|oh never mind!|ssssssshhh! i think that's their settlement... let's see if we can't get closer...|okay good luck!|i was actually thinking of sending the scout we have next to us...|oh right! yes, of course... are you sure you don't want me to go? because i would go... only i've got this cough...|i'll just go then shall i? fine.|i've found them! the guards are old and weak and all the others are busy dancing round a fire... stupid primitives! i say we rush in, kill them all and leave as heroes! |...or we could build this giant wooden mammoth, then we wait til sundown and...|are you mad?!? i don't want to get eaten! do you want to get eaten! all covered in gravy... no wait, onion gravy... a fine wine...|shut up bonehead! we need a plan!|oh yeah? well i have a plan! |oh yeah? what plan's that then?|we could lead a pack of ravenous blood thirsty tigers into their camp and let them do our dirty work for us?|where are we going to get a large pack of ravenous blood thirsty tigers at a time like this!?!|sometimes i look at you and i fear for the future of our race...|
