Swords are well-balanced for starting. Once comfortable, cleavers (wide range) and gauntlets (combo damage) become powerful. Always grab Godly variants when they appear — they meaningfully boost damage.
Keep food, hygiene, and loyalty all stable. Build basic facilities (toilets, dining) early, address discontent via re-education, and use devotion to unlock cult upgrades. The base stays stable even while you dungeon-crawl.
