This is my guide on how to take control over a tribe. Bear in mind that this is not as simple as "Do what I say or I kill you.". In fact, it is quite the opposite. Also, the object of this enslaving is to have a tribe make you resources that you can collect and use. The object is not however, to take people back to a tribe and have them work for you there. For those of you who want to do the latter, you will need to find another guide.

Tool Kit
If you want to scare people into working for you, you will need to have some decent tools. I suggest one of the following:

Classic Mithrilite

 * Reinforced Mithril Armour
 * Mithril Sword
 * Mithril Javelin/Crossbow
 * Flint And Steel

Look, Its Blue!

 * Bluesteel Spear or Sword
 * Reinforced Mithril or Bluesteel Armour
 * Crossbow (duel wield if you have bluesteel armour)
 * Flint And Steel (or Ignitor)

I have friends!

 * 2-4 People, Armed With a Mithril Spear or Sword Each
 * Leader Should have a Crossbow
 * Bento Armour default, and as many mithril armour as you can.

These may seem excessive, but it is very important you look scary. The armour is of particular importance, concentrate on a high quality armour before a weapon.

Finding the Perfect Tribe
Now that you have a set of tools, you need to find a tribe. This is harder than you would think.

Firstly, they cannot dislike you. Nor can they fear you to the point of running away/attacking you. You must be able to approach their village without causing too much commotion. Secondly, they must be weakly armed. If they have mithril they will most likely use it to rebel against you. Steel is bad, but manageable (preferably with a helper). Iron and below is a good tribe to aim for.

Thirdly, they must be on a bountiful island. Places like flax, certain points of mainland, and plateau are bad places to target. Bento, paradise and rockma however, make amazing targets, though watch out for steel users at rockma. They will probably come armed with their own crossbows if they have decided to set up a tribe there. Fourth, it helps no end if they fear you slightly, but only to the point of wanting to set up a peace treaty, and no further. This is a hard balance to achieve, but will make negotiations a lot easier when carrying out the plan. A good way to do this is to take out a tribe that you are clearly enemies with, and make sure to leave nothing left but the burnt frames of the remaining buildings.

The Plan
Now that you have a tribe to enslave, you must do the following to make sure they do what you say.
 * 1) Firstly, approach their tribe on a boat. Do not draw your weaponry. When you arrive, get the attention of the tribe leader.
 * Now, you need to look scary so the tribe leader wants a peace treaty. Do not act hostile, as if they think you want to raid their village they will not negotiate. This is where a high quality armour comes in handy, as it shows strength without being hostile. Another method would involve taking down a raider, possibly using a friend to act as a fake raider if a raider is not conveniently present at the time.
 * 1) Once you have done what you need to do, ask them if they would be interested in a peace treaty, perhaps tossing around the idea of a mass server raid. If they agree, explain that your resource they have that you want supplies are running low, and you would like them to supply you with this material.
 * 2) They should agree, assuming you did everything right, and you now have a tribe that will work for you and supply you with whatever you wanted, at no cost on your part. A slave in all respects, and the most important thing is, they don't realise that.
