@2:44:45 I had one guy die in the battle - two handed melee warrior ... The hit boxes on the Jotun are a joke - neither you or the settlers can reliably hit them with melee weapons. I fought the monster by myself and almost got him down with arrows, using two handed axe to fight small golems and healing crystals. Problem was that fight lasted ALL day long ... So I swamped the monster and it was over in 2 minutes.

> For me personally it has happened every single time on the day of at 1pm, that's 15 hundred at the clock on the top... 17:10 Thanks this guide has been very helpful, but that's 3pm.

What I did that works great for raids is, give everyone a Reinforced club even the archers in case they get rushed. Give everyone else shields. Then make everyone a reservist. That way all you have to do is go to the settlement tab and hit Call To Arms, everyone will start to defend. Also upgrade everyone cloths to what u have on. Tip animal traps, when they break just hit B and click on dismantle, then dismantle it. It puts it in your inventory then just put it back down. It is good as new. No need to build new ones lol. Oh and there are fences.

Bellwright stream tonight?

Hey there!! Did you build an Archery Range by this point? I can't find that if you did. I saw someone on Discord mention that you don't really need one. Just use hunters in your towers on an alternating basis. Thoughts?

Aska or Bellwright which one is better ?

Great content. Subbed. Have you got one for the fishing hut? I'm completely in the dark about how the warehouse/fishing hut/cooking house work. Market too, lol.

bosses in this game are to easy sadly,

@44:35 Going into battle with 5% HP ... a bit overzealous? ;) Honestly once I found out that with bone arrows I do like 15-20 damage and in linien clothes I get 40 damage, I withdrew immidiately. I did the testing at the furthest boss from my village, as well, with half the map uncovered (and had a save game stored away from the game save folder). Once I came back with iron weapons and leather armor (around day 50), the fight looked much different ;)

Upgrade your gather, lumber, and stone huts to the house. It creates much more storage. Your first workshop is still making stone tools. Delete those so you aren't wasting materials. If you make an iron knife and give it to your hunter, you will start getting pelts instead of just scraps. You can safely do 5 iron to 15 coal as long as you stay in the center zone.

Wow!! Been struggling with this game since early release and your videos just clarified SO much!! Thanks for the tutorials. Golden!

What days and time do you stream?

I did not understand why people complain about how this game is difficult. I find it most annoying, but not difficult. I'm watching this gameplay to find out what is so difficult for people and so far it is the failure to set goals in a reasonable manner. I mostly had problem with people efficiently doing the assigned task and was watching "how to's" to see if anyone resolved fundamentally blotched AI behaviour. So far no luck, with one exception, sort off - building separate magazines and other buildings (one magazine for raw food, one for cooked food, one for normal wood, one for hard wood one general and 2 woodcutters - one for normal and one for hardwood) and restricting access is needed, but it is idiotic mechanic solving by overbuilding, IMO. Anyway the problems here were (this is for new viewers, mind): a) Setting up many watch towers, where each needs to have settler assigned to work. I build barracks on day 14 with one guy who policed the settlement with two aditional patrol points. No "undefended" penalty anymore plus that one guy helped me greatly in defeating the bear. b) Not having a gatherer build first and maintaining that post with gathering posts (I had six before winter) and additional raw food storage. Result here: lack of food, while my people had plenty of carrot and onion soup (in winter beet soup). Hunter needs at least 3-4 hunting posts AND planty of arrows - yours was lacking arrows. c) Having only one guy farm with 3 fields. I observed that once I added second field the work efficiency dropped, so I have one person per one field policy and it works. One field is flax all through the year. After I saw that it was not enough to provide clothes for all I made two flax fields for two seasons to get more fibers. Than it's garlic, onions inspring and summer and beets through autum and winter. d) Not having a kitchen build - much more efficient than barbecue. In general you had to few food providers and too many mouths to feed. Healer could have helped on the farm, just a s stonecutter (his storage is usually full in all games I saw or played). I had 12 people before the first winter (in order of assigning work): - gatherer -woodcutter -stonecutter (also working as warehouse manager from time to time, later as wood cutter - mind you the guy would not remove tree stums although he was assigned to collecting fire wood for few days) - builder 1 -warehouse manager -crafter/weaver -warrior -field worker - builder2 (later set up to be field worker 3) - field worker2 - warrior 2 - cook Oh, yes - all my people have clubs given. Easy to make, usefull in large groups = very nice defence measure.

The guy taking all the food is the warehouse worker taking it to the cooked food storage you set up there. He wasn't hogging all the food for himself.

I am playing this game, died in the first 10 minutes to wolves lol. The game had autosaved so Ididn't have to start completely over. It is a pretty game

I dont understand why you have only 482 subs. I think you belong by the best Aska tutorials on you tube. You are a great teacher and the way you do it is very plesant and natural. So keep on doing this great work. Dont ask ppl to tell you what u do wrong because you are doing great. So you know now. I play this game since the demo came out and i have more hours in the game than you. But also for me you gave me some great tips i didnt know. I have 2 tips for you. After you defeat Fenhir Put a marker there. The npc have one year to pick up the recource. You let the blacksmith making all the tools and weapons. You also need to level your blacksmith skills. When your blacksmith die or leave . You cant make the higher level stuff urself and a new blacksmith needs time to level. So first make tools and weapons urself so you can level your skills. I realy like Aska but i think they need the items enemies drop must be a little bigger. They are hard to see. I also think this game needs something like a dismantle bench like Conan have. So u can get rid of the crappy stuff. Spoiled food ok, but spoiled arrows and bone is stupid. And last some ppl have iron problems later in game so maybe a slow respawn of caves. Sorry for my crappy English. Greetz from the Netherlands.

Klaas is a Dutch name. Its not used as much now days. Its a old fasion name. More and more ppl in the Netherlands use English names now. Dutch last names like Klaassen and Jansen. Klaassen means son of Klaas. Jansen means son of Jan in the old days

LMAO Awesome vid. You had such a good day. lol

Unwise to put the farm and the cook house together as they both use a lot of water, also the workers will take a drink there as they collect their daily food. This will mean the water will be drained in that area and if the workers have limited time and have to queue, they may not get any water and die.

How are you liking Bellwright?

Is thatch only available on the beaches as a gathered item? No way to grow it or otherwise get it? Also...do none of the female NPCs have long hair???

@3:05:11 Having healing food and not using it usually ends this way ;)

The Wights boss is the easiest of all tbh, I summoned it accidentally in my 1st playthrough on 3rd day while I was just exploring the island walking down the coast line and then killed it just by making it rush and bump his head on the yellow colored unbreakable stones which deals huge amount of damage. I just played Matador and he killed himself LOL

As of recently, the devs added a feature where if you approach close enough to the spawner, a marker is automatically revealed on your map with a symbol of the spawner type. This includes the spires.

Play through series would be great. 😊 Have you built the boat house yet?

I killed them solo nowadays the invasion, just put some fences along the way of mobs point then range them all from a raise terrains on my base, because everytime I bring the villagers to fight some of them died. On the runestone, I only have one at the moment but by daytime there's one villager to buff it up. I'ts for the woods I think. And my game, I just do upgrades for all the houses I have. On iron age now. If everything is upgraded. I'll probably do kill some bosses for the other runestones. Taking it slowly and this game is awesome except for occasional bloodmoons. Bear attack is easy as well, they just got stuck on the sorrounding terrains on my base. They can't jump that high. So range them from above. lol!

Have you used dyes yet? What if you colour code your villagers for their profession.

Play through series sounds awesome!

These videos have been a lifesaver. Thank you. 😊

play through sounds interesting

Ok, so I've watched a lot of similar videos that had me super nervous about the first winter invasion. I thought for sure I was going to have a TPW for not having enough defenses up and such. Turns out, it was a LOT easier than anticipated. Keep your people armed with some descent gear and you'll be good. Focus on the elites when they come about and put up a tower or two...you'll survive.

Check out once human. I think u may like it!

Do the mobs come out of one side of the portal or both sides? The portal just appeared next to a cliff on my map and I might build up earth walls to isolate the surrounding area

Love the idea of a play through series for aska

Bruh

Just binge watched the playthrough over the last few days and I have to say, it is a great series. You have done an amazing job on this, your down to earth take on the game is great. Keep up the great work.

I get done in a meeting and click back to youtube The very last 5 seconds you were live

Your wood pit also gets fiber its in with the resin so that help a lot. You also can turn bark into fiber by holding left shift and clicking it in your inventory.

I noticed that both your barracks and archery range main patrol route has a warning stating that "The total time to complete this patrol route exceeds the Villager's work hours" ^^ you can see it at 11:17 on the archery range and a bit earlier on the barracks. Wondering if this is the possible cause for your warehouse not being covered. Loving the vids, fun to see you progressing through Aska!

Also, i believe this is because of youtube, but the night scenes are incredibly dark in the videos, either increasing the gamma in game during night or lightening during post processing would help out significantly.

Sorry for not commenting recently, to make up for it I will add three tips here for the price of one lol. 1. You can assign housing from the tab menu the same as you assign work stations. 2. You can train your character's melee and ranged skills at the appropriate building, melee at barracks, ranged at archery. Melee weapons durability does not go down while practicing at barracks but bows do deteriorate at the archery, so use a cheap flimsy bow and cheap wood arrows at the archery range. 3. There is a sometimes bug that will prevent new buildings from getting defense points if the patrol marker was built before the building. Often I have found removing the marker and rebuilding fixes the issue.

I keep meaning to post this and keep forgetting, but you can assign housing from the tab menu the same as you assign work stations.

It doesn't seem like the rain is having any effect on you. Clothes aren't wet or anything. The white dots around everything kind of bothers me

Played this alot before Aska and it seemed grindy. Now watching you it seems even more so 😆.

Great video, I learned a lot from you, keep it up 😊

Awesome series bro, super helpful. Your series rock.

Nice job on the bosses! Bellwright is a cool game. I think you will like it.

Someone reported a bug on Discord, that if a building is built after a patrol marker was already there it does not get any defense points. Dismantling an rebuild the marker should do the trick, I guess. Great vid as always!

For your warehouse, I wonder if a patrol isn't walking close enough to it. I haven't tested, but seems like they get the points from the patrol, not the marker
