try to save him, if fail, sacrifice him to our new god.
not got a god.

This isn't civ, you can't just go 'yeah, I'll go found a religion' I'm afraid.

it'll spring up naturally. If you want to, you can follow the other local tribe and become pagan.

just remember- you may follow it and promote it, that doesn't mean everyone else in the tribe will, too.

Let's just go lassez-faire on religion until one has emerged as dominant (which I hope will happen, hint hint ;)); then, crush the infidels.

Also, stabbing is always a good idea? Who are you, Belkar?

Convert to paganism, if we wait till later and discover our own religion that will cause conflict between us and the other tribe.

Convert, then find something shiny.

Convert, slowly move to monotheism.

(Nature spirits --> Earth mother ---> greek/roman-style pantheon ----> monotheistic god in whose name we shall commit horrible atrocities! )

That's not really how it worked though, the Hebrew were fairly monotheistic from the beginning, it was the Diaspora that started converting everyone else.
Then christianity took over. It was almost usurped by Islam, but Islam began too late, I think. The enlightenment hit before it could convert enough people to be bigger than Christianity.

I know it didn't happen like that - that was just a suggestion how it might work for us: Slowly moving away from pagan concepts towards more and more abstract concepts of the divine. Maybe after monotheism we can go to something like enlightened pantheism (google pantheism if you don't know it; it's a cool concept :D )

Save his ass.

Or, at least try to. I doubt we have the skill, but we may be able to make him more comfortable.

Gah. Try to save him.

It will have no use and will waste ressources, but whatever.

The less Xenophobic we make ourselves, the harder we become to conquer, as the enemy that takes our land is slowly transformed into the Mali by a different name.

We become a Center Nation.
