What ever happened to raids from the Band of Bones?

[jthibeault]

Back when I was avidly playing this game, years ago, my base in the Border Region would be raided by the Ninja's, Dust Bandits and the Band of Bones.

Playing this game again now, and I never see any raids by Band of Bones. Did they get removed?

Band of bones i believe packed up and moved to the kingdom of those big burly blue dudes (forgot the name)

So only The starving and the dust bandits attack the player in border region plus the holy nation is very pesky as well (keep them friendly so they dont join the imma raid u list)

well ok they were always there but they dont attack u now while ur in there only The bandits and ninjas do

Band of Bones don't patrol the border zone, so there's not really any reason they should have raids there.

(you need to be pretty deep in Shek territory (or a few places in the Hook or Shem or Vain that have high enough numbers to trigger base raids) for Band of Bones to attack.


(this changes if certain world states are triggered as the BoB moves or expands it's territory).

Also most of the Shek factions will attack you if you do something really impressive (I.e. taking out the Bugmaster opens you up to attack events from pretty much all the Shek Bandit factions that want a piece of you to try and win glory by taking you down (Including the Shek Kingdom itself if you aren't allied with them, though being allies will block them as an option).

i usually build a little base next to the hub. i've been raided many times by band of bones. i'm not sure if there's something that triggers it but they definitely do (or used to) raid you there.

Best guess is they used to not have the border zone marked as a no-go zone back when you played before, because they do now. So they aren't currently willing to raid anyone in the border zone even if they are in range.

I can confirm that a few years ago, Band of Bones used to raid even eastern parts of the Border Zone. Good to hear they don't anymore, was a pain in the *** <:)

Do you know where this no-go flag is set? Is it something that can be modded back into the game?

Yes, it's on their faction entry in the FCS. They have a section on the right hand side for no-go zones. It's as simple as adding and removing them there.
