As real estate is going to actually matter in this game, having a 1000 small tribes dotting the area around people is going to be annoying. How does one tribe grow when 5 tribes have surrounded their area with other 2 man tribes?

You take them over, either by diplomacy, or by force. This opens up more opportunity for politics in the game, as well as more PvP options.

what this guy said, Diplomacy integrate them into your tribe to benefit both tribes or through war and destroy their stuff and tell them to move.

3 sounds reasonable as of right now the world seems so dead, barely run across people or animals

You're just unlucky - really. If you walk along the coast you are likely to see a lot of tribe areas again . But we are spread across a huge area and it can be difficult to spot other players (especially on distance).

Keep searching and you shall find .
Btw, it was reduced to 3 persons and then upgraded to 5 persons and will be increased to 10 after prelude (which is appropriate) you need a bit of people before you can call it 'a tribe'.. Until then you are just a bunch gathered together, no?

And what would stop a large tribe from starting a bunch of small groups and then becoming 1 large one with a massive amount of territory.

They won't be able to overlap tribal lands or even have them touch, so it won't function as a single tribe.

That won't really matter though. As long as people can communicate with each other than it could effectively work as 1 tribe. I don't mean with just in-game chat boxes, either. I also wouldn't bother with trying to limit groups from doing this. It just adds another dynamic to the game world for players.

But yet, you can't build really anything because you need to be in a tribe. In addition, you don't really own any land. It should be reduced back to three players for a tribe. Otherwise, this is not very user friendly for newcomers. It's almost as if they're "required" to join a tribe or town in order to even play the game.

If I knew that I'd have to rely on people in order to even play the game, I might as well not even bought it. I only bought it because I thought I could create a tribe with a few of my friends and then continue from there. However, I'mma be required to have ten players to do that? You must be out of your mind...

There is no need for insults, really.

Otherwise, I agree with you. I can't see any disadvantages of small tribes, but there are a lot of positive side. If 1 player was allowed to found a tribe that would solve the problem for solo players too, without any new coding.

To avoid problems with overlapping tribe areas there should be a minimum distance between 2 tribe totems, so a tribe wouldn't be able to place its tribe area right beside another tribe's territory. This distance should be big enough to allow the tribes to grow to like 30-40 members without reaching the neighbour tribe's area.
