This confuses me, dragur and skeletons can both be archers.

Difficulty settings are supposed to be coming. I see no reason why "I just want to build stuff" shouldn't be an option, when there's options then having that takes nothing away from players looking for the default "brutal" experience. There's also players interested in a much harder experience, are they in the wrong game because of middle-of-the-road default balance?

If someone just wants to build stuff, they should build their giant forts on a different map from where they kill the bosses. No raids other than necks and boars then.

Otherwise, the trench works so well that some people consider it a cheat. No worries until the flyers, and they're more dangerous to your livestock than to you.

I agree with difficulty settings too, but outside of mods, we're not there yet.
