That time I sailed for over an hour in real time to a far far far and distant shore, only to have a silent troll sneak up and stomp me the second I set foot on dry land. That's when it really dawned on me that this game is uncompromising and does not take prisoners.

My first Outpost was across the Spawn point Ocean ( actually was a MASSSIVE LAKE )

it did not get built up very well as i got assaulted by a troll, started shooting with my Finewood bow amde from 'rolled' birch logs, and suddenly there was 3 of them bashing everything, this wasnt even a troll raid, just Unlucky my first Post Eikthir exploration outpost introduced me to the Trolls. Ive never encounterd More than 2 trolls in a given area since, but i'd say that was one of my Most Iconic moments. they even trashed my raft, and when i got back nothing was left but Sparkles. cleaned up the copper node (unknowing of deeper veins at the time) and Left the 5 standing palisades as a reminder. carried remainign weight limit of core wood back to spawn base and stuck to land travels.
