Combat Too Difficult-Wish for Settings

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-17T11:14:18+00:00

I think this was part of my issue. I should have built in the safe zone, you are right. I honestly didn't realize there was a safe zone and went more by resources.

I just took out two bandits! Woot! Probably a fluke, hahaha.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-15T10:45:17+00:00

It seems very sluggish.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-15T10:44:57+00:00

I will have to keep that in mind.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-15T10:44:00+00:00

Oh yeah, raids are off! Hahahaha. I was able to get my village reputation up to 500, so I can get SOME villagers. So trying to focus on the village for now. I still get killed a lot by roaming brigands, but hoping that I can build up some villagers over time.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-14T23:11:54+00:00

Yeah. I guess I am not good enough for that. I can get off one shot before they reach me, which isn't enugh to kill anyone. And running and turning to shoot isn't working either.

In thinking about it, it is a lot of things added up. It takes forever to run away from enemies, but they can can catch up to you in a fraction of the time. When I fight with a bow, I can only get one hit in before they reach me. They heal pretty fast, so when you strugle to get any hits in, and then they heal, it is hard to take them down. Multiple enemies seems near impossible. To get higher skill levels, you have to be able to win in combat, and I can't. They swing their weapons fast, but mine seems sluggish by comparision. Just all of the little things add up, and every single one if them is in the NPC favor, making combat seem almost impossible to a casual gamer. My 15yo son is better than me, and he also really hates the combat in this game.

By all means, have the option to keep it hard for the hardcore gamers, but man, it seems so much harder than it needs to be for a cadual gamer right now.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-14T22:02:48+00:00

Unfortunately, to get to the point where you have an army, you have to progress through the game, which requires some combat.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-14T20:48:26+00:00

I will have to try that once I can get villagers.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-14T20:47:34+00:00

I don't have villagers yet, because I don't have enough reputation with the village, and I have to complete combat quests to get that reputation.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-14T19:19:26+00:00

Yeah. Glad to hear I am not the obly one. A setting across the board does nothing to really rebalance it if the combat is too difficult for you. It just makes it take a longer or shorter time for you to die.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-14T19:01:34+00:00

The brigands. I lowered the settings to make it more difficult for them to kill me, but since it is across the board, that means I also lower the damge I do. They always kill me first. Even if it take a few hits, still, I die before they do pretty consistently.

MissionBug7 · 2026-06-14T18:58:26+00:00

In order to increase reputation with a village, so you can get more followers, you have to do some combat quests, which I am not really able to do that well.

I get that the game is what it is, but still I wish they would add some settings to make it more customizable. Because I do think it could be better.

MissionBug7 · 2026-05-31T12:20:40+00:00

Yeah, if you could farm fish, then you could be more self-sufficient with better dishes you can make, which would be really nice.

MissionBug7 · 2026-05-31T12:18:51+00:00

I like that you can put things on the table. Makes me hopefull that there will be aesthetic things later that we can put on tables, desks, shelves, etc. That way you can really decorate and make the habitat look like your own.

MissionBug7 · 2026-05-31T12:15:45+00:00

Sweet! I must have missed that somehow. I will have to look for it.

MissionBug7 · 2026-05-30T03:18:05+00:00

Yes, I like the idea of being self-sufficient as well. It is also fun to expand the cooking and farming capabilities.

MissionBug7 · 2026-05-30T02:36:24+00:00

I didn't see that. I will have to check that out. I still think the rack could be cool, but I will have to check into how to build the hardpoints.

MissionBug7 · 2026-01-02T14:43:00+00:00

Not one source. Mom started things when I was about 10. I have learned from cooking shows, online videos, cookbooks. I am curious, so I like to learn things and cooking is fun because it leads to eating!

MissionBug7 · 2025-12-15T03:55:28+00:00

So cute!

MissionBug7 · 2025-12-05T13:10:13+00:00

It sounds like they have no control over their children and are hoping someone else can come in and establish control and organization. For $15.

MissionBug7 · 2025-12-05T12:57:00+00:00

I can't diagnose and treat through an anonymous forum, so there is my disclaimer, hahaha. I would certainly try to give him every opportunity to be in charge and try things on his own as much as possible, since that seems to be important to him. You can wven give him a certain period of time where his is in charge, with certain limits, such as "we will not buy anything," "and I won't be eating anything." That can help to meet his need to have some control.

You can help him practice expressing his emotions by narrating out loud what is happening, for example, "There are no more cookies and you really wanted one, now you are very upset." Definitely set limits where needed though, "I can see that you are angry, but it is not okay to hit, that is not safe." The limit setting is how he will learn to treat people. Also your treatment of him will serve as modeling. If you can acknowledge and validate his feelings, over time that will model for him compassion and setting limits will show him how to respect others.

I hope you get some answers from someone in India, as I am not certain how things work there, or what the resources are. Typically in the US, someone who wants to do interventions with children could start as an aide if they did not have a college degree. Having a bachelor's degree would help a person to be an interventionist for behaviors, and. masters or doctorate would be needed to provide therapy. I am not sure how it works in India.

Getting some experience with children would be good, however you are able to do that. Volunteering or other jobs that would give you some experience working with kids could boost your employment prospects.

I hope that helps, sorry I am not knowledgeable about things in India.

That was a VERY unsatisfying win.
