Defending?

[Heater]

How does one defend oneself from enemy raids and attacks? I tried fences and walls, but they seem to do little to no good against such determined invaders. Is there a good method or attack that I can use to rid myself of these aggressors?

[Avu]

Short answer. You don't. The attackers have all the advantages if they are at least as good a player as you are and chances are they are much better.

[Lothaudus]

You've been attacked with a battering ram?

[Onionfighter]

Why are you being attacked so much?

And yes, there are things you can do, you can build defenses or try to convince or hire someone to protect/avenge you.

[*]Relocate yourself, water front properties are common raid targets.
[*]Find a village if possible.

1: be hard to find. Timber houses dont show a house sign, but most importantly, stay away from rivers
2: spread out. If they find your place and see nothing but some house and a few plants, they wont make the effort if you have a palisade. Make patches of farming all around, out of sight of one another
3: wall yourself in. You can simply extend your palisade and build another layer around the existing one. Make 2 or 3 layers and you wont be worth the trouble


villages are both good and bad
1: you are easier to find
2: you have more people
3: there is often someone online
4: raiders have stronger combat stats and are online together
5: when something is lost, it is easier to replace
