I was playing in the north, next to Grey and red fox and anmangarn
I had everyone next to allied with me and most trading.

After the making the storm tribe heroquest,
einar milk eyes came and i chose to resolve fued witha tribe,
i talked with them and i did not choose the option to invite to tribe.

Instead i had hoped to delay forming a tribe get my herd of cattle and goods way up
to bribe other clans in forming a tribe and choosing us as king.

I had my advisors talk about it a few times yet now its been decades and scores of succesful quests since then,
and i still do not get an option of inviting a clan to form a tribe,
not by the alliance forming screen , not by the fued resolving screen .

The Storm tribe heroquest does not offer the Blessing to form a tribe anymore.

I think the game may be bugged ( windows 7 , latest version of the gog installer
says 1.7 under game controls)

Does anyone know of another way to allow me to kickstart the forming of a tribe?
Maybe when an enemy comes along and threatens to attack,
like in the heroquest?


( i also think that before the einar milk eyes event ,
the game strangely did not allow me to raid anyone but my closest neighbors (allies),
along with an enemy tribe who has now long since picked up and fled
all the way to near the zethnorings in the far southwest )

Chances to form a tribe are rare. Take them when they show up.

I’m surprised that if you try to resolve a feud, you aren’t given the option to do so by forming a tribe.

I’m not surprised that the one-time blessing is no longer available, because you have not yet used it.

Now i restarted the game in which i had gone a very long time whithout seeing a tribe option again
and surprisingly it gave me the option again ,
through einar milk eyes visit event.

But now , even after doing EVERYTHING RIGHT,
3 quests succeeding during 10 years of my queen (who was not clan leader) succeeding
and STILL i get the event where einar comes and takes away the three year ring.
I am playing a short game ,
i wonder if they have to be 3 consecutive succesful quests?
The ten years are consecutive at least ,
i also wonder if the quests have to be different,
i did do at least 3 elmal ernalda and a event triggered storm tribe and aroka.
i'm sure the aroka succeeded.

Maybe that is the ending to the short game?

The manual says: “To win the game, however, you must succeed at three (Short Game) or seven (Long Game) different quests after forming a tribe. Performing the Making of the Storm Tribe quest again after you receive the Ten Year Ring in a short game will count as one of those quests.”

And, one of them needs to be your clan deity’s quest (which Einarth mentions). Your saga would have the evidence.

Einarth also says: “Ten years from now, if <k> is still <k.title>, if your herds are strong, and your neighbors respect you, you will have won a great victory, and will be remembered in the sagas.”

In other words, you can’t run your clan into the ground.
