Hi. I'm new to the game. Have those of you with more experience found any good ways to deal with the Sea People? I very nearly fought off their first attack--it was so, so close!--but after that there was no real hope and the game became a long, slow death-spiral. Based on my experiments in the event-less sandbox mode, I think it might be impossible to maintain a regular army big enough to deal with some of their later attacks. My guess is that the trick, if there is one, involves immense resource stockpiles, but beyond that I'm clueless. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
