Please fix raids

[SpringOfVienna]

Right now raids are so unfair. I have nothing against the idea of ennemies seeking revenge, but at least give us a prompt that a raid will be coming soon, or something so we can get prepared and not leave our base. I just got raided while at sea and by the time I came back home everything was destroyed. It's not fun to have to rebuild our stuff everytme, especially when you had golden stuff. The game encourages you to go sailing and stuff but also punishes you for doing so, which makes no sense! You could also make it like in Don't Starve where raids attack you, not your base.

Totally agree. An alternative solution could be an option to assign monkey to defend a certain area.

A good advice about the raids.
Build the metal spike traps around your base.
It kills the orcs within seconds.
You dont have to be afraid to go exploring and think if your base gonna get attacked.

The spikes only takes 2 wooden slats, 2 snails and 1 long grass.

The game really doesnt tell you to, but it expects you to build a fully walled base with at least one or more rows of traps around it. this worked for me

Yeah my base is walled with metal walls all the way and then the spike traps

Very this.... I was wanting to provide this as feedback... how to make monkeys stand guard while I'm away looking for more monkeys..

I may be relying on monkey's too much, but what else can we* do... spikes only go so far...

raids ALMOST always spawn at the same spot, So boxing them in there with spikes will kill every raid If spikes arent working for you (which ive nvr had a problem using) Try moving your base to a new area with less sides to defend <ie:> <against a mountain side> or make a choke point to funnel them down traps. I believe in the latest patch monkeys that dont have a job to do defaults to Attack, and dont wander off to far from the "spot" they were last taught. So essentially they can guard ur base abit

A single row of spike traps around my base plus monkey set to repair structures has seemed to do the trick for me. Have yet to see any of the raids break a wall before the traps kill them and the monkey fixes everything before the next raid ever arrives.
