Man, I loved the first game, getting all endings was frustrating but this game is on another level. Played for over an hour, on NG+5 and all my units are still Gen 1. I'm getting nowhere with this, getting first seedbed is fine I guess, but 5 goblins every 2 days is worthless so I go for Rihanna who wipes out half my goblins, then I say fuck it and skip a turn instead of going for her then go for Cielberry who once again wipes out a chunk of my goblins. I got to 4 seedbeds at best and at that point I just get wiped out by either Claire or an invasion, I think I got invaded in one of my games at like day 4 or 5 by a fucking Merchant Leader so I reload hoping the enemies will change and they sure did, to 2 Vigilante Leaders so I'm like thank god but nope even those 2 wiped out my defending force which I guess was just Gen 1/2 goblins.
I read Thai's guide before starting the game so I thought I'm a Goblin Burrow god now but legit can't even get started. Can anyone make instructions for a literal retard, maybe up to day 10-14 or just some instruction on what to focus on the first week? In the meantime guess I'll play Elden Ring and Evenicle 2.

Rihanna, Cielberry, Ghazala (and the newest addition Slyzard) are traps. They appear before Sheav's stage, but are much harder. Fortunately, once you raided Cotton's stage twice, it will automatically open until Sheav, Valentina and Ivy stages.
A step-by-step guide for literal goblins:
Turn 1: Raid Cotton stage
Turn 2: Breed Cotton, set a healing trap (if you don't have a trap, you can do it in the next turn), raid Cotton's stage again
Turn 3: Rihanna opens, but ignore it. Raid Cotton stage again.
Turn 4: Cielberry opens, ignore it. Your 2nd Gen goblins are born. If you have a mutant (except Shaman) then congrats. If not, proceed as follow: Raid Cotton stage again.
Turn 5: Ghazala opens, ignore it. Your 2nd Gen goblins are now grown, use them to breed Cotton. If you have a mutant, use him in your army to make things much easier.
Turn 6: (if you had DLC4) Slyzard opens, keep ignoring. If you have mutants (that is not Shaman), you can use them to raid Rihanna or Cielberry.
Turn 7: Sheav opens. Raid it, follow strat below if you only have normal goblins:
Although I said in the walkthrough that the seedbed part are incomplete, there are still some early stages walkthrough that might help.
