Another patch of changes is up for 0.4.0.2. Basically, to place tribes on the board, I've removed the one wizard and thrown it directly on the board. It still needs cleaned up, but it's more intuitive.
Next dilemma I'd like to hit is to make city advancement on the board as well. Not sure how I want to do this because the mechanics for doing this are pretty involved in terms of sequences of events and how to break the code out from how it is now. I need to sleep on it. I'm sure something will come of it.
