0 Warriors are forcing a clan split.

In the CD version you could grow your clan to several thousands and ignore complaining thanes and carls while taking enough lands to support everyone. Actually that was winning strategy to grow overhead and hoard resources for the tribe making. For some reason the neighbouring clans were really greedy and wanted tons of everything and that's why the hoarding was vital. Once you were happily in tribe then you could split, maybe even several times in a row.

Now you are forced to split your clan. In the screenshot it can be seen that i intentionally sent all thanes to explore so i could continue growth but the 0 warriors accept no gifts nor even a ring shuffling and you are forced to split the clan no matter what.

Another option would be to war and to kill off enough carls so there wouldn't be too many children. Bon apetit Maran Gor. Only you can't have very big cattle with so little farmers. While i do like that some of the blessings become active for no apparent reason but it is annoying to manually deactivate blessed children for reduced clan growth.

That screenshot you provided isn't about having 0 weaponthanes, but about having a large population.

In my personal experience, having more than 1000 population makes things a bit tricky even if you're doing very well. You'll get the tribe splitting events from oh so random reasons which you won't get if your population is only around 900~ish. They'll become finicky and get pissed with you for such small things that are usually ignored.

I think the highest I've got was 2800 (iirc) where no matter what I do (clan, carls and thans have max mood) they keep coming up with excuses to just split the clan.

I've only played the steam version so don't know how other versions work other than this.

After 1k you get a warning but once you hit 1200 pop you are starting to get those splitting events. Either by carls or thanes. In the picture the event is supposedly triggered by thanes but there are none of them so the event is bugged. That's why the screenshot.

Splitting clan is a great idea! You're literally making yourself great, friendly neighbours for the tribe making!! It's great opportunity to get a great neighbour who you'll actively have to be on bad terms to make them mad.
