Anyone figured out how to use cheat engine on this thing?

I really freaking suck at gaming, and I love yet hate this little game at the same time. Can't seem to survive past day 15+ and it's really getting on my nerves. I'm also equally bad at using cheat engine, and at this point I'm pretty much willing to pay someone to make a trainer for this game because I suck and it's really frustrating.

Hey! Sorry you're having a lot of trouble with the game. I was completely confused when I first got it, but i was able to figure it out. Basically, you'll want to get lots of berries and explore a bit on the first day, and if you're fast maybe get the alien in the upper left corner past the pyramid and use him to get a log shed. After that, try to make a sawmill, Windmill, and a mine camp to start making the pyramid. When it comes to the windmill, it can get complicated, but it's ok! When I build the windmill, I like to also build two or three hay fields near it, but also connect them to a body of water so they don't run out, as well as build a hay shed to store the wheat. That's pretty much all of the game! If you're not that good at the game then you could avoid buildings like the workshop or school, and when dealing with skeletons it's better to wall them off during the day (trap them with walls) instead of fighting them. By far the most important tip though, is to not overpopulate, as that can kill your entire population! Hope this helps a little!

TL;DR: Block off skeletons, hurry to build log shed and windmill, micromanage, farm, and build the pyramid!

I keep around 5-6 people around, and I find it really hard to not run into skeletons when they work. I also often don't have enough time to wall off skeletons before they run out again.

I would place importance on keeping the villagers near to the village center during the night, or just wall the whole thing so your always safe. You could also fight in groups (3+) against skeletons to eliminate them quickly if you don't want to build walls.

I never manage to build walls on time and it would appear that I'm also garbage at micromanaging, so I don't think I'll be playing the game again anytime soon. However, that you for the tips! I managed to survive a few more days with the advice about fighting skeletons (even though I still somehow manage to ♥♥♥♥ it up eventually by letting the skeletons take down my villagers one at a time, even in groups), but after trying at it for a couple for hours I think this game just isn't for me ahaha.

A pity you gave up! Same thing happened to me, as - in the beginning - I tried to make the game play the way I wanted it to. Did not work at all - and I hated it. ALMOST gave up!

I first had to understand, that this game is more in the spirit of the good ole days, e.g. Blue Byte's "Settlers" or "Cultures", just heavily condensed. Every single ingame character is essential and needs your attention, almsot every second, at least in the beginning of the game. For example:
- If you build a log shed somewhere, let it get filled up and THEN start to build walls, it will take waaayyy to much time. But if your guy passes a tree and you just tell him to chop it, well, ten secs later you'll have built your wall. To e.g. enclose a skeleton (bones) this way, takes about a minute.
- Don't let them do long, "empty" walks! After doing some job away from your TC, don't just send them back - first let them e.g. gather some wheat, before sending them back.
- Place the windmill and a hay shed right next to your town center and 2-3 hay fields as close as possible. Connect them, using roads/brick road, to improve the output even more. Now two workers will be able to feed 5 people easily. (Dead Antilopes do not rot, so having some laying around to gather them later can save you the game, too)
-For the worst case: (Ab-)use the watchtower bug for your first tries, to avoid the frustrating death of your peasants.

I was about to give up on this little gem, but now I'm glad I gave it another chance. Maybe you will, too? ;-)
