Hello there,
I'm somewhat like a "battle-scared newbie", playing RL's since 2000 but
never managed to get past the first few levels. Now Isaw this nifty
little game Dweller for my T630, dl'd it and started playing but there
are so much Goblins that I died constantly on the first few footsteps i
made 🙁 .

Is it supposed to be so hard ?

Mmm, I'm a newbie to Dweller too, but have played Angband as a winner.
On 1st level of Dweller, you *MUST* pick up those mushrooms of healing
as soon as you can. Hit points do not auto-regnerate like other RL's,
so healing items are vital in early game. My 1st few chars died very
early too, especially when faced with multiple enemies. I haven't
experimented enough to say for definite yet, but my feeling is that
when you make a new Clevel, choosing SPEED as the stat to increase is
best in early game. My survival times ahve increased when doing so.

Good luck.

Yes this came to my mind as I accidently got ridden from the Toplevel
Goblins and rested a while ... and another while ...

Haven't testet Speed but with this non-selfhealing paradigma of the game
it's logic that hitpoints (my fav choice) are not the first pick - try
it thanks.
