![]() With the ACE mod there's literally a tool to set all that up quickly. You can build off of cliff walls if you want, or if you're out in the open then the easiest way is to start with wood fences. Once you have a better idea of what you want your village to look like (if you're not sure about what buildings should look like, use the basic blueprints and upgrade as you unlock more, leave 4 spaces between buildings if you want to them to look good) then I'd recommend enclosing your space. I'll have archer units with crossbows separate. ![]() ![]() I usually operate my army in 6 man units with 3 foot soldiers, 1 knight, 1 archer and 1 cleric. Archers and a cleric should come shortly after. Having a knight means all the aggression is being pointed at the most heavily armored unit. By the time I have a blacksmith I usually have 3 soldiers and am ready to upgrade one to a Knight. I'll upgrade them with shields (and hammers after I get a mason). They'll stay near the banner (and hopefully out of harms way) but they'll also defend themselves if your soldiers can't hold everyone in place.Usually I'll make a second soldier very early after settling. Hit the shield icon at the top of the screen to tell your villagers to get back to work). Generally (and especially in the early game) I'll pause to make sure my soldiers are chasing the threat and use the alert to make my villagers go to the banner and arm themselves (if you don't know how to do this, open the army manager and hit the shield. It's a great way to make sure your ducks are in a row. Leaving a bunch of separated platforms for enemies to get stuck on lets you choose when you can have that engagement.ĭon't hesitate to pause when you get a raid either. Be careful building ladders, maybe even forgo doing it altogether in favor of just digging directly into a hill/mountain if you're looking for resources. I'd recommend settling a hilly region with water and valleys to limit the number of engagements you get. You're going to need a way to heal your soldiers if you're going to use them to defend your borders.Second important thing is geography. I'd probably also start with Merchant Caravan to let you start with a soldier and an herbalist. Ascendancy is also good to start with a carpenter so you can make wooden swords and make more soldiers early, as well as shields. I'd definitely also recommend staying with ascendancy in the first biome to make sure you have a simple progression and lots of resources. That being said, I have over 300 hours in Stonehearth so I'm hoping what I have to share is worth it.If I understand correctly, you're having difficulty getting to the late game, I assume you're having trouble with enemies? I'm assuming the difficulty you're having with building has to do with having a problem keeping enemies out? And you're using the ACE mod?įirst off, I'd probably keep the difficulty low until you're feeling better about the pacing. So, I haven't posted here before so forgive me if this isn't the accepted wisdom.
