Day and night serve different jobs. Resources gathered during daylight pay for construction, troops, and upgrades, while the eight building types shape production and defensive strength. Night is the test: zombies approach from outside and the mobile archer covers whichever section begins to leak. Spending everything on income can leave the settlement without enough damage for the next wave; spending everything on walls and troops slows the following day's growth. The palace unlocks stronger development, but its timing should still respect the current perimeter. A sound cycle is to collect first, repair the most vulnerable side, invest the surplus, and then fight near buildings and soldiers instead of meeting a whole wave alone in open ground.

- Move the archer with WASD or the arrow keys. During the day, travel between resources and construction areas; at night, reposition toward the side under pressure.

- Aim with the mouse and press the left mouse button to fire.

- Harvest resources in daylight, construct from the eight available building types, and train soldiers before the next attack.

- Build the palace when the perimeter can support the expense, then choose upgrades that address a real weakness in the hero or settlement.

- Return near the defenses before dark and target zombies that have passed fixed positions first.

- Begin each day with a quick circuit of the perimeter. Look for the section that took the most damage or has the poorest firing coverage before spending.

- Treat the archer as a mobile repair for defensive gaps, not a unit that should duel an entire wave away from the settlement. Fighting beside soldiers and structures lets several sources of damage work together.

- Do not build the palace merely because its price is available. If night is close, replacing troops or improving an existing position is often safer.

- Strafe while shooting to preserve distance and draw enemies back into defensive coverage.

- Establish useful resource production early, but avoid funding several expensive expansions at once; keep enough material for an emergency fix.

Mental 74: eight building roles, resource flow, and the order of day-to-night investments determine whether the empire keeps growing.

Reaction 72: night defense requires moving, aiming, and responding to breaches without delay.

Stamina 65: repeated gathering and defense phases demand a steady rhythm.
