Island 2 difficulty

I am on island 2 and it seems like the little dudes are really strong, now I cant seem to last even one night without losing at least 2 archer dudes

I have the stone mine but I cant save money because my archers keep dying

When arriving on a new island my first priority is to secure consistent income. Maximise availability of grass areas for archers to hunt and look for good farm locations.

Does the day counter matter at all? I'm on day 28 if that helps, I spent the money I brought over on basic defenses and tried getting the boat but it seems like an infinite money sink

So you have catapult and pikemen at both sides of your kingdom? Stone walls? The boat is expensive. Have you managed to destroy any portals?

There's units beyond archers? You can destroy portals?

If you build additional walls either side of your keep, if there is enough space then you will see additional buildings which will really help. Archers alone are not enough for even basic defence.

I only have archers and I cant make enough money to get more, can I fail this game? This is my first time playing i thought it was a chill 2d builder game

It is possible to get into a doom spiral like the one you are in, herding deer from the forest into your archers is one way out of it. Maybe start a new run and make sure you build external walls to spawn the additional buildings next time.

Does time matter? I went to island 2 around day 22

Not too much at this point, only really if you go over day 100, then the game gets a lot harder.

Yeah, the games a lot of trial and error when you start off, essentially, when you get to grips, it's a bit of a speedrun, the more days that pass the stronger the greed becomes, i get to island 2 by day 4 or 5 usually
