Something that helped me a ton at the start was to give the burgages greaaaat big backyards to farm carrots.

It seems to me the play is to build your burgages slowly, maxing them out before building another. I had a much better pop growth curve this way instead of building many burgages with the intent to upgrade later.

I forget exactly what triggers it, but on the default middle setting (domination i think?) you get some free spears and shields pretty early on which allows you to make 17 spearmen that are enough to take out the early game baddies,

Seems like after you build your first storage area it triggers, dumping them directly into the new storage area's stock.

I lost a huge amount of wheat before I realized that stuff despawns if it isn't harvested/stored by october 1st.

Yeah, there is a tooltip that says something about November that maybe I didn't read fully; lead to a rough winter thinking I had an extra month for that grain.

I found that staying with level 1s allows for explosive growth since it's really simple needs, level 2s and 3s reduce happiness if you don't have clothes/beer which are artisan goods

I meant adding the second household / home crafts if possible, not upgrading the house to lvl 2.

You're right about the increased needs, at one point I had some trouble just maintaining the needs of the lvl 1 homes because for some reason my storage area workers were too busy running shops at the market to go collect the leather from the tannery. :/

Ahh beer has been such a pain for me. The first two new regions i settled showed high barley fertility UNTIL i settled them at which point the fertility overlay totally changed. Seemed like a bug but maybe fertility changes with season or something sometimes and it was just a coincidence.
