How to get out of a this evil loop?
So I travelled to the fourth island in norse campaing, and not many days passed before winter came. I think this is a grave noob mistake, since what happens is I couldn't really generate meaningful currency in this period. I collected berry and chopped trees, but I could barely scrape by. Now when the snow finally disappeared, the enemy raids have grown relentless. I've managed to increase my currency, but I'm spending it just as fast desperately reparing from the night's raids. Every night I'm getting hammered from both sides, and im losing people and walls faster than I can acqure currency to replace them. Even worse, my people who get bummified walk so fucking far away, I have to waste an entire day travelling to the edge of the map to recruit them back, losing a couple to portals on the way back.
Feels like I'm in a death spiral where the raids will inevitably overpower me at this point.
Am I right in that moving to the fourth island before winter is just a run ender, nothing I can do?
