Where is the 'safest' place to live?

[warhamer]

Are there multiple Killettes? Because weren't you living in the northwest? At the end of a river, not far from a beach?

Yeah that was his old place that I'm rebuilding now; do you live around that area min?

To give a serious answer:

The west used to be a raider hellzone, but the events with Taar killed their raider vault in the area and it's been much quieter since. Map edges *tend* to be safer mostly because it seems bigger villages dislike settling close to them (cuts your foraging area in half really). But that's from big village raids. See, big villages are both tyrants and the lawmakers all in one. If they steal from you, tough titties usually. But they also tend to be the ones to police random theft scents out of boredom. So the further from a big village you live, the less safe you are from petty thieves/murderers.

So, you've got two options here. Live next to, or hey *IN*, a big village that has the muscle to patrol. Very safe, but you may be killed in a war you personally have nothing to do with. Civilian casualties... are an aim in HnH wars. Take out their farmers & etc, weaken them from the bottom type idea.

Other option is to live really far inland. I mean... 5 minute walk with a boat at least. This reduces the attention you receive. With a small palisade it's quite possible you can live unmolested for a good long time. Getting to water to forage is a pain, and don't make roads to your place or you're defeating the point. Roads are for people who don't care if they're noticed.

@Warhammer

No I don't recall a beach near my home with a cave on the grassland

@min

Yes, I did live in the northwest corner at the end of a river in a small palisaded farm. I tried building a giant piece of land later but I moved out before I could palisade myself in.

Heya, yeah, I'm kind of ... thereabouts, mostly splitting my time between a place not far north (not that there is much more north, heh) and away to the east a bit.

when i was a noob, what i found was, that at that stage it didnt matter if i died since i didnt have much to lose, so i would seek out people in the big villages around me and get to know them. if theyre decent, then i get good powerful friends close, and if theyre assholes i will know...might lead to my death but still i know whats up without losing much:P thus far it was successful. even with , shock horror, Russians!!!

now however, i'd rather not be killed, so i dont talk to people i meet randomly. plus the area i'm in isnt safe, the vast array of raided villages that are empty around me, and dead bodies everywhere kind of gives that clue!

but u just need to make ur place safe. palisade, and brickwall. dont put ur village and mine together, without securing the mine seperately.

Dead bodies just mean that a bear spawned there.

[burgingham]

:lo

Dead bodies just mean that a bear spawned there.

not with scents surrounding them
besides i knew half of the people those bodies belonged to, and they didnt get attacked by bears!
