You are describing the tribe well. Maybe I would add few things, but everyone should learn by himself. I think it is more fun when you are trying to learn a new tribe by yourself. Here is another printscreen of one game that I played on Green Mauritius. The game was not perfect. The most painful problem was water shortage 40 minutes before the end (you can see the slow down on the graph) but I really like the result anyway. Very close to some results I am able to reach while playing Frisians.

• Warriors improve their attack abilities by hunting crocodiles

Weaknesses:

• Need water nearby
• Expensive carriers and warehouses need big building spots only
• Need a good road system

Strengths:

• Lower iron and coal consumption
• Lower wood consumption

Funny you should say that, as I was posting I was mulling whether or not I should start the thing with a big SPOILER ALERT warning!

It is true that exploring a system is just as much fun as exploring a map. I do insist on good documentation however. That's important that players aren't forced to trial and error how a mechanic actually works because the help file is wrong or misleading. That just causes frustration and drives people away. Unless their stubborn...

Yes, that is me, very stubborn.
