How to earn safty for winter

The 'safe' way to living in prosperity. Starting decisions that aren't worth spending a month of constant bonbardment and being completely unprepared for winter.

Preparing your first few days

Preparing is mostly based off your God and play style, so ill be giving a few objectives before 'night of day 3'
* rush for max citizens for max production ( having 2 homes )
* 2 wheat farms and(after making workshop) a hunter will sustain your pop
After the first 2 points its best to upgrade HQ till you have the wood walls
-Depending on your hero/strategy you may or may not need to work on a barracks and a couple of archers to fend off the skellies. (which always spawn from west)

*IMPORTANT NOTE* warriors do not cost food per day(unless God of war) Nor pop count and dont cost anything except arms and 30 seconds for reproduction.

*Sometime from when you start and day 3, there will be a small band of fleeing Nord Desserters that will seek refuge in your camp. You can let them join you, but it will mean that the nords will send a wave of enemies to the east (and its not worth spending the hide on the merc's). If you decline (which i highly recomend) they will begin to attack your base and people(the fleeing Nord Desserters). Spend some God points and use your hero to wipe them red.
-NOTE: the Nords will still seek Tribute until you've done 2 of their quests (if it say's no quests, click on it anyways, it may just be bugy)

Day 5 through 18

*Day 5 Tribute to the nords and start the quests for them (through the diplomacy menu in HQ)
NOTE: For farms #3 i recomend melons, and #4 herbs(herbs only till u have a stock of 30+ medice)

*Focus all your defences to the west. Defending from the dead shouldnt be to hard with a hero and 4 warrior archers, while also being behind a wall
+NOTE: As long as your keep good relations with the nords to the east, the most dangerous side is the west, which the future will be attcked by large forces other than the dead. To my happy surprise there's alot more than i initially gave in this game.

*Before day 18, you need to amass an army to fight the undead to the west of you (Boss fight + Summoner) By doing this, you will no longer be attacked by anything per day.

Winter

*With a steady pop of 20, you can survive off 3 hunters and seeds you'ved amassed for food. (but theres always trading the nords for meat if anything)

*with no attacks from the nords nor the undead, you can explore this game to your hearts content........ or until you jump the gun, on accident, and die to fish.

*This would be the perfect time to send a couple people out on the cargo wagons and max tech as best you can.

By following the questline you should be able to reach further techs for your society rather than just 3 (from maxing HQ)


There are alot of bugs in this game, but some bugs can be cheesed.

If you've read up to here, i would love to hear/read about how you found away around a bug.
Example: if there are people stuck on buildings underground, a quick reload of the last save flie will magicly fix them for another 4-5 days. or saving while a wall is being destroyed and reloading the file makes the wall invulnerable for 3 mins. Im sure others that read the comments would care to know as well.
