It's almost like a scene from the start of an early Warcraft RTS map at first, with a few characters on screen doing odd jobs - your little ocularly arsed (or whatever) compadres heading out to fish or kill off the still-small-brained species who you rubbed nose-attached shoulders with formerly. All of which are designed by other Spore players, remember.
This is a family game, though (a very, very family game), so rather than gnaw on their guts, your beings bend down and create a neat platter of their bodies, before wandering back to the food-storage area like snooty waiters.
To do this, you must either send those of anal eyes (or whatever) over to wreck the main hut of a nearby opposing tribe and fill some of them with spears - after which, those remaining will be forced to kowtow to your wishes - or act all sociable. Obviously, your decision will depend on just how you've brought up your little entourage, since carnivorous, pointy-toothed savages bearing clubs won't be quite so good at small talk.
To make nice, you put on your user-defined recruitment glad rags, gather up your food supply and deposit it at the homestead of your rivals, before striking up some sweet, sweet music - with the bum-eyed band (or whatever) tooting away on pipes, banging on drums and doing cutesy-pie dances.
