The Wenja are useless
Why is this war essentially being fought by one man? I really think such decisive military actions as taking over an enemy fort should be a team effort. The only one who isn't a total deadbeat is Karoosh and even he doesn't help nearly as much as he should, considering his title is "the warrior".

Starting to understand why they were nearly wiped out.

If you've ever played a Far Cry game you'd know that YOU are the Protagonist. Which means that YOU do the work and have the adventure. Wouldn't be much of a game if the NPCs played it for you, would it? (Far Cry 2 excepted which has ingame Buddies to help).

I do like this game, in spite of appearances. There's just aspects of it that annoy me. I know nothing about the far cry franchise as a whole, I just think it would make a bit more sense if there were at least a few expendable NPC allies in the fortress attacks like in the "defend from invaders" events.

I do think you should be able to build up attack forces to launch against the enemy positions via gathering resources to make healing salves and weapons/arrows to equip people.

However, I have seen the Wenja fighting the enemy. Lots and lots of times actually. And they're not just fighting human enemies, but also animals.

The wenja are literally acting as both soldiers and hunters. They are LIVING their life and also providing your character with all the food you need at various camps. They're even sending elite ninja assassins to guard you when you sleep in the middle of nowhere with your sabertooth pillow as the closest thing to an actual defense. (Wait... maybe that last one isn't true, though it's curious how you can sleep unprotected without your throat getting slit time after time.)

In essence... I think it's the difference between a Navi Seals sneaking in to take out critical targets behind enemy lines compared to the average soldier being deployed. Sure, the soldiers will push the enemy lines... but it's a tug of war type battle between the fortified positions. In real modern warfare, it's common to bombard the fortified position (Like with owl attacks and bombs) with artillery or aircraft and then send in a few elites (the main character) to pick apart the last few survivors.

The wenja are just basic jarheads fighting back and forth in the fields. YOU are the elite. YOU are the special forces. YOU are the Beast Master.

Give more credit to the men and women fighting every single day with little rest to get every scrap of resources that they can just to survive for one more day.

Question instead why the main character has the time to wander around sleeping in the middle of nowhere, petting his cat, and diving for buried treasure in the middle of a WAR.

Look how much he gets done when he isn't slacking off! Entire huts get built and upgraded! All that time wasted running around admiring cave paintings or smashing masks could've been used for things like hunting down animals and drying their meat for the tribe. Or killing a few more enemy tribesmen. Or building better defenses around the main camp. Like a wall, maybe with spikes on it, or a few guard towers to shoot down at the enemy with bows and spears.

When the MC actually goes to work... you FEEL the effects. Things get DONE and it's noticeable. But when the MC is just loitering around camp stealing drying meat from the racks and ogling Sayla and Jayma or wandering around the hills looking for shiny objects... he's just a leech. He could be doing something... but he's just taking advantage of the wenja's hard work that they put in to make sure the camp survives another day.
