New idea, you try and enslave a tribe instead of just murdering them in cold blood.

It works a lot better than you would think. Just remember, you don't tell them they are slaves, you say it's a peace treaty where they supply you with whatever they have on their island that you want (bento leather, beef, pies, whatever).

And most importantly, visit often, and don't try and enslave too many. If you have too many tribes under your power, you don't have enough time to keep track of them all, and they might as well be free as your not taking the stuff they make. Give rebels no mercy, and convince everyone they are lying tricksters who hate you because you killed them in a previous game.
