The first time I was not prepared from an attack from the north from 20 zombies. You really have to spam the hunter food truck and build about 50 or so rangers to eliminate the zeds. I did not have the wood workshop discovered yet and while you can win it with hunter’s lodges, you have to use almost the entire map to get enough food to do so. This actually is not easy at all on this map.
It is a wide open green map and the goal is to get 800 population. I played the 2nd map - Hunter’s Meadow - and failed twice. No doubt this campaign is difficult though, especially to new players. You know you can change the difficulty in the campaign, correct? I feel like the devs figured everyone was familiar with how to play, and the difficulty of the first map is high.
