I had a tribe for each faction at first. After finishing all the puzzles, I decided to try a tribe that chose neither faction. It gave me a new challenge since I had to keep the population low and pretty much pause the game if I was going to be gone for more than an hour or so.

Now I'm finished with all the puzzles (except the sharks of course) and just have to build one more hut. My villagers don't really need the hut, but it makes me happy to see the village completed.

An added bonus of doing this was that my constant search for mushrooms has also helped with collectable gathering and this is the one village where I almost have a complete set of everything!
