were your levels the same? higher strength in melee means you swing harder and do more damage
i had higher melee.
and defence, i think.
Anyway, i'm going to compile tons of more suggestions and bugs now.
There seems to be a major lack in trees, perhaps a farming boost would help because it takes forever to grind farming to be able to even get to level 5.
Trees could have a season where they reproduce, that would be neat.
