Is anyone else finding the game characterized by constant violence?
Mostly.
I have no idea how you could possibly do tribal stage nonviolently, as rival tribes are out to get you from moment one, and I haven't seen any way to turn a prehostile tribe to a neutral stance. I fail at this level. I really, really fail, and kept getting my entire tribe wiped out. Tips would be appreciated.
Oh, that's easy. You give them gifts. In social mode, right-click on their food... area... blanket thing... and a group of your guys with flowers and such will bring a wrapped gift basket.
Do this as fast as you can. Really. If they attack your tribe beforehand and get truly pissed off, they might well attack anyway. Then you can do the music thing. This is randomly harder for some creatures, mainly carnivores. I had a group of carnivores attack to the point where I (and some of my allies who happened to be wandering by while gathering) had to wipe them out, wait for their chief to respawn, and THEN bring them a gift. But that does actually work.
You can also domesticate animals, who will lay eggs that you can harvest. ...I domesticated a Darwin. Lulz ensued.
Always leave at least one person at home, though. Bastard wild animals keep trying to steal food. Also, someone has to be there to accept any gifts that allies might bring.
While we're at the tips, bring as many musicians as you can, divided up evenly between every instrument you have access to. Larger tribes seem harder to impress, and having more people playing music helps.

Oh doi. Totally forgot about that.

My evolved creatures, the Dodoki, are masters of instruments. They quickly befriended one tribe of creatures that I had made with the creature creator, a sort of ape/frog hybrid, after being told that they would enjoy maracas. The triffids, however, wanted to kill me dead, closely followed by some random EAxis creature.

I had issues with this. When I went tribal, I had three group members of different species (easter egg to unlock by doing that). They appear in my pen. I tried domesticating a group of other creatures, and they adore the Dodoki, but I had the message that I had too many domesticated creatures. I guess I need to let go of the ones I inadvertently have.

Blasted other tribes, too.
Will have to retry. I'm hellbent on getting all the possible parts in both the cellular and creature stages. I came close on both before. Plus, I want to figure out being an omnivore, eating fruits and already dead animals.

Well, I know the HOW, but the problem is that they ATTACK me. When I am subsequently forced to kill them and burn their village to the ground to make the constant unprovoked attacks stop, it is self-defense!

Why would you kill them and THEN give them a gift? That doesn't make a lot of sense. If they attack you, they are your enemies. You don't give gifts to enemies. Plus, if you killed them already, what'd be the point?

Yeah, I got the entire animal domestication thing. Took a bit to figure out that you did not have to feed them or slaughter them for meat to get food.

I love it when they do that. Saves me the bother of having to hunt an animal down if it will just come to me! OM NOM NOM NOM!

You mean my one instrument, right? The game gave me one instrument.
Zazazu:
When you befriend a tribe, you may get additional instrument creation stations as a benefit. I got the ability to make digger-whattas (that aboriginal instrument) from befriending the apefrogs. They also brought me some food, right before the dang triffid war started.

(No, I have nothing of value to say beyond that.)
