Any strategies how to play this?

[Luna plays]

I am sorry, but I don't even get over the first attack of a boss or whatever this is that shows up after the first night. Any strategies how to survive that guy with the bats and for later on and other attacks?
And dear developer would be nice to have a protection wall.

I'm confused about how far you've made it. First you say you're stuck at the first boss (which would be the swamp creature, Mergle), then you say the first night (which is WAY earlier), then the bats (which are much later than either)... :0

Anyway, 3 archers (probably even 2), is enough to survive the first night. Spearmen have their uses but archers are the quintessential military unit in this game so focus on those and use the villagers with damage perks to make them. If you just keep making every damage perk villager into an archer, you should have enough throughout the game. Just make sure you keep a good flow of villagers into your village and gather gold to upgrade your pop cap as fast as you can. It helps to make more than one Tavern, as this increases the influx of villagers, which lets you grow your eco and army much faster.

I have a YouTube series up of a Veteran playthrough, if you find you want a detailed, visual guide. Though encourage you to do your best on your own first, as the greatest enjoyment from this genre comes from experimenting and figuring out your own solutions to the challenges ;) The channel is "catbert7's Gaming Highlights"

Thanks Catbert, I had no problem in the first night, in the second one some creature shows up that wants sacrafices, this one spawns bats when you kill it. Those killed all my people and buildings. I upgraded everything as fast as I could, first the tavern and then the houses, I had 3 gold miners and at first 2 then after the first night 1 woodcutter, all others were archers on 2 towers, but did not help me against those bats. The archers kill that creature and that spawns the bats.

Don't kill it. Send out a single villager as soon as Mergle arrives, so that the villager meets Mergle out in the open away from your town. Mergle will eat him, and then leave a few seconds later.

Thank you Banzai finally a help against my trouble ;)

If you want to play practical - bring all your "faulty" villagers (all limp, slow or too fat) at her and make good use of them - it drops permanent potions for each sacrifice.
But if you want to be good (not necessary successful) leader - it kills itself pretty effectively with lots of wooden spikes.

Makes only sense to kill her if she doesn't ever show up again after getting killed. But I do believe she'd come again the next day anyways.

This post is from 2018 if you noticed. I can't remember if I gave up on the game at that very moment, but I guess so. I posted about future bosses or attackers probably because I expected worse ones to show up after that one with the bats. Pretty understandable I guess ;)
Caspar people give up on their YouTube channels, because YouTube sucks more and more, I did too. And Calbert did that probably also.
