Fun fun! Started playing at a desert, immediatly my entire colony got murdered by A snake, sounds... Ironic? thne started another one and dug into some strange dungeon, and I am currently building A masonry in said small area of dunegon, how scary are dungeons by the way? :D

Townies will help out each other if they see someone fighting, so trying to keep them all bunched up helps until you can get weapons out. I usually order everyone to till an area right near a monster (while paused) then cancel the order when everyone is there. Wooden weapons are okay to start if you don't have stone, but stone maces for everyone will make the surface much more survivable.

The dungeons start off easy and get harder as you go down. Exploring them with townies is tedious and difficult, so your best bet is to make a tavern and a couple of tavern rooms to lure heroes in to explore dungeons for you. You'll definitely want to clear them for ITEs though.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I'd probably recommend stone spears over maces, m'self... the defense advantage seems to make a notable difference. A mix probably isn't out of order, o'course. Y'can also set one of 'em to a soldier so that'un'll run around and help people when they get attacked.

Definitely things get a lot less turbulent once you've got <whatever's left alive> kitted out in wooden armor and a (preferably stone) weapon. I've been pretty consistently losing between three and five townies before that point, though :P

Probably need to go look more at either the wiki or the official forums (or the OG thread, ha) at some point. Having some hard and fast numbers for good sizes on varying farms would streamline the early game considerably, ha.

I didn't find anything much on the wiki or forums, but that's a good idea. I'm going to skim the thread here for info and type up some observations. If anyone else has numbers to throw around, that'd be great.
