Maybe im just dumb, but im took a break from Warhammer 2 for about 2-3 years, and i cant remember SFO being this hard!

Im trying to play the Wood elve twins and for the love of god i cant get anything done.after around 10 Turns the beastmen arrive and just raze my settlements, by then i have around 2 because everything is expensive and i cant get any income because SFO appearently decided to remove all source of income from buildings except very few.

So im stuck with 2-3 settlements for like 40+ turns while beastmen + skaven constantly invade and my units replenish for like 5% every turn, spend money for recruits because its faster then to wait 5+ turns to heal.

Endless cycle till beastmen or other faction just stomp me. Are woodelves screwed here? I also had bad luck with the Zombie pirates, it just feels like im wasting my turns.
