cons: HUUUUGE demand on resources, you may not know all members, limited freedom by tribal laws.

I'll leave tribal warfare as pro/con, It's a matter of opinion.

homesteads

pros: freedom(you can do what you want, build where you want), if you play with friends, close community.

cons: small area, hard to master your profession(you need to do multiple things), you have to trade with others for high quality items(hard if you don't have any high quality items for trade or you are master in one skill), you have to split time between what you want to do and what you need to do.

Homestead is a good chioce for hunters, farmers, animal tammers/herders. You supply tribes with what they need, and buy what you need.
Now this is more like it

With the spacing issue for Tribes and also resources i am hoping and guessing that once more land opens up and mines etc this should become less of a problem.

As for your comments on homesteaders, it seems they are going to need to use thier diplamacy skills to gain any kind of foothold as thier skills/resources could hold them back.

Will be interesting to see just what kind of people take on the role as the solo player.
