I did medium with no disasters just so I could learn the game. I also had a lot of people (mostly kids) die in winter 3 or 4 after my initial food ran out. I started with a lot of farming which didn't provide enough food. I should of focused on gathering and hunting. Also gotta learn how to herd, built a pen but never got any animals.
