Achilles Heel

Description
Gates are just small walls with big holes. But what if that’s all you need? Imagine - It’s a face off, the Raiders have found an open gate, the Defenders have met them at that exact gap in their defenses. A brief standoff, a raging battle ensues. The Raiders are driven back from their precious position at an open gate and the lonely survivors retreat in panic and disorder. Attack dogs chase them down. All this, and there isn’t a wall in sight, not even two stones piled one atop the other. There are only 4 or 5 empty gates positioned near the corners of the Settlement.

Introducing the cheap and lazy way of building fortifications… just build gates and leave them wide open. Raiders are happy, they found an open gate to enter. The Defenders are happy, they concentrated the Raiders in front of an open gate full of Defenders armed to the teeth, with their attack dogs at their sides. The Defenders themselves were compelled to assemble at the gate closest to the Raiders – its just what they do. They’ve been waiting for the Raiders who literally walked straight into the ambush, themselves unable to turn aside – its just what they do.

Please let me know of anything that doesn’t work or things that may improve this scenario.

Thanks

@Gilmaris normally, we would need to build walls and gates, the walls will get knocked down by raiders. With this, walls aren't necessary and the raiders focus on the gates.

Isn't this how the game works anyway? What does this mod do, exactly?

Yep... it is a great strategy... just build a few gates around the edges of your settlement... works every time
