A table to make demands of your enemies.
— Kainga Encyclopedia

Demand Tables allow you to "request" resources from other villages, for nothing in return. If a demand is satisfied, the standing between your village and the opposing village can increase. Once a demand is satisfied or refused, another demand may be made.

Other villages can also demand resources from you, and you can choose to accept or decline the demand. Declining the demand (or accepting it and then failing to satisfy the demand within a certain period of time) reduces your standing with that village.
