Hi Maria.
Several things.
Firstly, you need more wood to build things such as huts for your followers,
buildings like the tannery to where your followers work, traps that can
trap animals to provide other useful resources and also weapons and other
handy things.
There are several ways to get cured meet, the old man is just one of them.
firstly, once you've cleared a location on the map it will turn into an
outpost. going to an outpost refills your water, and also outposts have
huge lots of cured meet for you to pickup so that you can journey further
into the wild. You can also buy cured meet from the merchant at 30 meet
each, or if you have built huts and have some followers, you can recruit
some hunters to get meet for you, then build a smokehouse ande recruit a
charkiteer to turn the meet into cured meet. this is much cheaper than
buying from the merchant but you need to build the correct structures and
have followers.
As to combat, well your fists don't do much damage, but the builder should
give you the chance to build more weapons, and once you find some other
resources you can take those, just remember that the more weapons you carry
with you the more chances you get to attack. Armor can be helpful too, as
can bolas if you run across them.
hth.
Beware the grue!
