I'm likely getting raided, need some advice.

2 guys came up to my palisade last night. One in a bandit mask, the other in a bear cape, both had necromancer robes. They said they intend to build a ram at our base and kill us and loot our stuff. I'm wondering, how much combat skills do you guys think is good enough to repel the average raider?

100, and a good understanding of the combat system.

Combat skill varies wildly. You should probably avoid any combat that you are unprepared for. Make sure to look out for rams or cornerposts near your place. Also, don't carry your keys on you when you go out, and look out for attackers when you are outside your walls.

The average raider usually keeps their plans a secret to their victims. They must be pretty confident in their abilities that they would come up to you and say, "We're going to wreck your shit. Just a heads up."

My advice: Get out of there and rebuild. Is your character's life worth the items you can easily re-obtain?

Their confidence may have been because i was walking around on a noob character checking for rams, they didnt see me or my 2 other village mates mains. I currently have 100 unarmed, and both my village mates have about 50.

Well, I think that you may have a chance of repelling the raiders, but it's a risk you going to have to take.

Might as well give it a shot i suppose. What this game without excitement like this? =)

Good luck to you, my friend.

Destroy the ram. It's highly doubtful they can be online the whole 24 hours to watch the ram dry, so you can easily slip out and destroy it. The other alternative is that they'll build a palisade around a 2x2 spot, and then build the ram in there securely. This uses considerably more resources and time, but your opponent may be just that bored. Either way, if you can get a sling and some marks, you can at least harass them. Or use a bow, knocking down a palisade takes a long time, and they'll be standing still not defending themselves while ramming. You can also repair a palisade mid-attack, so if you can run out with blocks and repair it, that'll keep them busy, and it's not like blocks aren't laying around by the dozen anyways.

100 UA is probably not even enough.
