I don't know what it is about Hearth and Home. I can't get into the copper age. I got the antler pickaxe, I've mined some ore, but I keep getting killed trying to get smelting cores. The skeletons in the crypts seem more numerous and harder to kill. Even with a fully upgraded club, I get cornered and killed. This never happened before the update.

Before the update, I don't remember getting ratbacked by dwarve brutes and dwarvesshmans until I was well into the bronze age with bronze armor and weapons. Now I get mobbed my dwarves anytime I'm near a crypt and my wimpy leather armor and flint spear aren't enough. I died, all my gear is in a crypt full of skeletons, and I'm ready to rage quit. Anyone else having an expereience like this?

Yes brother Viking… yes… I’m also in leather gear with level 3 weapons. I am on the same boat as you, those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brutes and shamans in the Black Forest I died countless times to, IF I managed to kill them, a troll comes and crushes me. I raged so hard… I love this game though for real. I’m not giving up.
