Or> AFAIR: Raiders should be between 3min and 5max in Vanilla.
Hunters will attack Raiders. Have Hunter camps on the near outer Perimeter's of your Village;
this is good also for Hides and Meat. When Ships is sited, there will be a few minutes before they actually land, when they land, plot out there avenue of attack and
'in that corridor load up all camps to the max with Hunters'

I like to keep Forester Lodges also on the most outer Perimeter's (not only for Wood) also so the Viking Raiders first attack them, and as they do; your Hunters will have time to counter attack. 3 Hunters should be able to finish them off and you also can go into 1st Person to use the Bow to attack the Vikings Raiders as well ;) Actually can be great fun to watch and participate in that battle. Plan and develop for the worst and your Village will survive :)

I didnt know hunters attack raiders . Thankyou for this info .

[JohnNav]

Hunters within radius will chase down and fight the Raiders ->
Usually post haste (always eventually)

Hunter Camp near perimeter {foreground}, Forrester Lodge outer Perimeter {background} ;
Viking Raiders do not have a chance.

Notice the Mini Map and you will see the Outer Parameter Buildings
as green dots surrounding my Villages

There is so much depth in this game, (Somewhat easy to learn and very hard to master.

I think what is overlooked by many Players: Is Research at the Keep {examples in above images}
(Mostly gives Player the >Earned bonus's to advancement in Agriculture, Production, Mining, Animal Breeding and much more ;)
-Many MODs that give Speed, Agriculture, Production, Mining, etc, Bonus Settings can lessen, greatly reduce, break and could make Vanilla research at keep totally irrelevant
Also to say: Most 'Global Setting MODs' are absolutely fine if the Player wants a more simplistic game play from that of LIF-FV games logical intent.

Also Donkey Transport to and from Barns, storage for resupply and supplies to future need's. Should always be considered by Players. (> There two "Caravan" MODs< that adds new content and Logistical Functionality for your routes between your Warehouses, Market and Barns that are really a must have if you want to improve this games logistics

I only use 1 mod and thats to stop the curser moving the map at the edge of the screen . Do you need a ship before using the keep ?

[JohnNav]

I don't think so, although I like getting Sheep early thru Expeditions

For the Keep: You will need a Stone and Ore Mine, and about 4 Forster Lodges for Wood.
And for that you will need an up and running Baking industry of at least ( Vegetable, Meat and Fish Baked goods) to help support the Miners, Foresters and other Villagers.
Build slow and steady. 

Build and send ship when you have the >spare Food< and supplies and when you are ready

Hey the Mask, raiders are one shot kills just like the animals. If you go into 1st person on a character, it's just one shot to the arm, leg, doesn't matter, they die just like the animals do. It is really no no big deal at all, and, cannot be called combat because, you know.

[Ghisla]

Also, just a follow up, I've had raiders twice in many (over a hundred, or more), hours of play since they were implemented. So no worries. Not something to be stressed about. :)

[MrBorkus]

they easy to kill as a bear fat with honey

[Ghisla]

lol Jurgen, as easy as a bear with lots and lots of fat from honey :).

Mask have fun :) When I started the Game I also lost an entire Hamlet to the Raiders; including the Barn and Warehouse. I hope my post helped :)
You don't have to go in 1st Person if you don't want; the Hunters should do the job
and enjoy thier battle.
