EDIT: Make a spear instead of a bow. I didn't realize you couldn't make a bow right away.

Technically, he's not finished.
So far, the weapons we have are
A.) Fists
B.) Very early and short spears
C.) Javelins
D.) There's a shield but again, its in prototype and all that.
Besides actual fists (duh), all the weapons that exist are prototypes. Bows are still being worked on but progress is coming along gradually and separately. Ayra's spears are actually the most common in the tribe right now since he actually started churning his out. Meanwhile, Aiken is pretty much the beastking of melee combat and no one has trained on any of the new weapons yet but Arya and Duke are probably still the best with the spear in the tribe.
Doesn't help that eventually, weapon advancement will be forced to stop because of the lack of metals (and that's because you guys are still nomads).
Also, can I get a Tribe name?
But at least you guys are getting very....interesting. As always of course. The game will get more complex from here. Especially once, well, you guys have to start dealing with other people from the outside.

UPDATE!
(OOC Stuff: I'm changing the way years work. Instead of 1 update=1 year, there are now seasons. Namely, there are now 3 turns per season and we're in "mid-summer" this update. Every year from this point on, I'll do a "health" check and depending on the age and health of your character, your character will either live or die. Right now, everyone is in good health to little chance of anyone dying.)
John Marchman grunted as he finished his last chin-up using the thick tree branch of a tree. His fellow scouts watched the man who was possessed with trying to strengthen his body through intense physical training. After working out, he ate a little bit and tried to work on his spear but found himself too tired to work on it. Not too big of a deal now that the scouting party will arrive back to camp tomorrow.
Ytrini Mpele dried and store the meat of the gazelles he hunted a while ago. Given that the Tribe now no longer has the surplus of food they enjoyed a while ago however, it looks like the gazelle will be eaten tonight regardless.
Jason Wayne sighed and looked at his shield. Sure, it would work but as to whether or not it'll hold up in serious combat is another matter. He gathered a few NPCs and taught them to fight with his spears and the men took turns with the shield. It worked in sparring for the most part but still wasn't perfect.
Fas Baker, the child prodigy, looked proudly on his bow. Its small, sucked range wise, but still shoots farther than a man can throw a javelin but that matter little since arrows become grossly inaccurate when shot from far away. But he killed three deer with his new weapon and several warriors of the tribe are interested in the new weapon. Other men feel that the bow and arrow are cheap, unmanly weapons.
Another man looked at his weapon, the Red Spear as its called. The weapon have superior reach than other spears and was tipped with a fire-hardened tip. Problem was that its easy to break. As for gaining support from NPCs in a battle against the Chief....not much. The only people he managed to get to side with him were some of the lesser hunters and gatherers and these people are hardly reliable. Overall, he has a handful of reliable supporters. Mr. Red told that the Chief if he's allowed to keep the girl, he won't revolt.
Chief Real laughed, "You only have a few....warriors as you call them. These men can hardly bring in kills let alone do anything substantial against me. I have far more supporters than your revolt does!"
Jimmy James, when he wasn't bringing in deer, spent his time flirting with ladies and quickly earned himself a reputation of being a "ladies man".
George Handel spent his time perfecting the design of the javelin. He sacrificed the incredibly light weight with better penetration but it'll still take strong men to use the javelin to its full potential. The javelin is also tipped with stone.
Aiken Drumn begins breeding his pig with pigs he captures in the wilderness since he's, for the most part, knows how to domesticate them. Birthing the pigs take a while for for the most part, the tribe is gaining a new source of food and adorable pets. The famed fighter and leader of men asked a woman to marry him and she accepted with her father's blessing and the two are trying for kids.
Moreover, he's expanded his hut which has sent waves through the Tribe because many wonder what's the point of expanding a hut if the Tribe is going to move south soon.
Gandhissimo jSuiliti meanwhile studied the plants more and the thought of how the plants may grow lead him to think about the seeds Ytrini has. But something else caught his eye while he was researching plants outside of camp.
The horses he saw.
There are several issues facing the Tribe.
A.) Mr. Red's coming revolt.
B.) The Tribe is going to start moving south in two turns.
C.) The implications of domesticated animals providing food.
D.) Horses!
This is Update 5 I'm sure meaning the tutorial is officially over. Y'all are going to have to start playing with one another if you guys want the Tribe to push on.
Also, time to vote on the name of the Tribe.
Xanadudio or Marchalan?

I do not believe we should move, why are we moving when everything is so bountiful here?
