I have now killed off my village at least 12 times while only solving to clear the well and the beach. I managed to get to level two of all the techs and level 3 of the food tech but I just keep killing everyone.

The problem is food. Even after I get to level 2 of food and get the field going. There food runs out. and I don't have a lot of people. I tried a different tactic recently which was to put 2 people on food, two on research and 1 to start clearing the beach.

That created the problem of not enough tech points, so when the berries ran out. I had no money to get the fishing tech.

I just don't know what I'm doing wrong and can't seem to find a strategy to get the game off the ground.
