I really liked watching my tribe grow and become better equipped and eventually settled.

I didn't progress past day 3 though, because when I get to medieval age, the raiders become very numerous and destroy me. Also I can't figure out where to get iron which is required for many upgrades.

I played 3 runs with 3 different approaches: exploring the map, building settlements and just staying at the same spot without either, and didn't progress. I also tried stockpiling several upgrades and getting multiple medieval era technologies at once, but that didn't help too.

Overall, an enjoyable game but a little too difficult for me.
