Hi there! I really like the game though can hardly finish a season without being gutted by bandits.

I tried equipping everyone, early militia, cheesing defences and still get rolled by the third or fourth wave. I can't keep up.

As a Dwarf Fortress veteran I feel something must be off, otherwise I don't know why I get attacked by ranged units before summer arrives.

Provided it is a skill issue, I'd really enjoy a difficulty option to ease myself into the game and ramp it up in subsequent playthroughs before frustration just drives me away.

Losing ain't being fun here.

Any advice?

Sorry about that. Still getting some tuning right and finding weird bugs. The next patching coming out soon tunes bandits down quite a bit
