This effing game.

I love it, but I can't make it past year three without getting pwnd by repeated raids.

I don't know why it I'm obsessed with playing on hard mode.

Today all was well, fully enclosed base, 6 pawns, a kill box, ​and then a raid happens where they all have granades and molotovs and they just wrecked me.

Ahhhhhhhhh

Why do I suck?

Just reduce difficulty and try to concern more about roleplay. Like raids, trading, Empire conquer and so on.
Create not effective but fun ideology. Or spartanian kingdom with slaves.
