 ===== Background =====
-There is already some **implicit notion of tribalism in the movable feast machine**. We already have blue carpet bombs, and yellow carpet bombs. Why not just have a single carpet bomb that we can decide which tribe it belongs to on the fly?
+This project is proposing the creation of a tribal warfare framework for the movable feast machine. The idea is to be able to simulate multiple warring factions and see what initial conditions are favorable for tribes. This simulation will also take into accounts which units are effective in certain situations.

   * These are **hostile tribes**. The blue tribe hates the red tribe and the red tribe hates the blue tribe, etc. These tribes are not interested in working together. Only total annihilation of the other tribes and world dominance will please them.
   * The goal is to have at least 4 tribes, but it should be arbitrary to add more than 4.
+==== Thinking in metaphors: what is this project similar to? ====
+  * Ant warfare
+  * Start of human civilization

   - **Wisps (7 Res)**: This unit is created by tribes that have won the space race. This unit can travel at the speed of light (an event window) and also does massive damage.
-===== Goals =====
+==== Element attributes ====
+These are the bit fields that the above elements contain.
+  * Health
+  * Damage
+  * Move radius
+...Possibly more? Need to weigh between complexity and the meaning behind the attributes.
+===== Goals =====
+  * Provide a //generic enough// tribal framework for the MFM.
+  * Create a model that is flexible enough to represent different kind of societies and creatures. **(may be too difficult)**
+  * Simulate Res as a contested resource where tribes that control it have an advantage.
 ===== Obstacles and lingering questions =====
   * Is a tribe slider feasible given the current architecture of the MFM?
   * Should units other than the Base use Res?
+  * **What kind of U-shaped curve can we get?**
