Would be nice to be able to do this, I wouldn't have to intentionally fight mobs to kill off unwanted members of the tribe. Though I'm just as fine with getting the option to choose the 2-3 minion types with which I would like to start (e.g. 3 hunters or 2 builders and 1 ax-man, etc.).

The green spaces are hard enough to find as it is. Most are usually already taken by other players when I get on.

I know it's not the only way, but a great way nonetheless.

You are kidding right? Rogues are great way to make some money, especially in castle mode where there is no shop to trade logs for gold.

I've seen people trap themselves inside a castle before too, by forgetting to put gates when they had the wood. lol!

Good Job Guys! Well Played!

I don't know about other people, but I can level up to max pretty quickly. I usually do a combat build and fight barbarians or other tribes most of the time. The tradeoff is that I can't build castles well. I think raising the max as the OP suggests would make things more unfair for people that play longer or want to build/farm since obviously new players would start with a combat build to level up faster knowing then can just get the rest of the skills later on. Suddenly battles become a slog-fest of who can survive the longest. This is not even counting the fact that some players like to wait until the two players are done fighting then steal the loot because the surviving tribe is too weak for another battle. Also building effectively usually requires having builders/farmers on the tribe and that alone weakens the tribe against a tribe of mostly knights, rogues, and hunters.

AFAIK when it "goes down" new updates are being pushed. I got a gray screen for a couple hours when castle update was going on.

idk, it's just a currency in the end right? And refining ore is not really part of the game. It's the same with pieces of meat coming out of grass or wood logs coming out of corpses.

It's just an idea for the future. I'm writing it down in hopes that it might actually be a playable mode later.
