cool game. took awhile.
here are some hints.
1. when starting concentrate on houses to build up workers. You only need like two farms mostly the entire game.
2. keep working on getting houses and workers then get as many lumber and ore buildings as you can to quickly work up resorces.
3. work on getting an upgrade and pick the ore upgrade, you don't need the extra food. once you do that get more houses and a workshop.
4. Save your resorces and do not get a barracks and weapons shop. Just take the hit on the attacks. They don't do that much damage and with the extra workers you can heal yourself easier.
5. This should get you on a good start. You should be alright after this.
