*For greylings, who cares. They're greylings.

*For trolls, get them to attack at different enough times in order to get them spaced enough away from each other. This way you can isolate one of them enough to get in a few strikes.

*Draugr and the skellie boys i focus on the archers first. Take them out then let the rest gang up around me and knock them all away.

*Wolves i try and get them to bunch up on me and i knock away the lot of them then end one or two of them right after. High ground is key.

I built my base on a little island with a bridge connection to the land, and I built a wall on the other side of the bridge. The island is fully occupied, and the bridge is too long for the area of the events, so they can't spawn anywhere inside the wall and won't spawn on the far land. Although I must use my old bases as agricultural areas, 'cause there aren't enough space on my island. :D

wolves... LOTS of wolves. More specifically, I did a moat around my housing/crafting areas. I then level it so that the wall is un-scaleable. I then place palisades on top of that, too. Later, I craft benches all over the place in holes and then cover them with stones so that the land looks flat (and creatures cannot spawn inside crafting table circles). Voila... un-disturbed housing area.

I usually dig a moat around the base or build on a tiny island. The last playthrough i tried a base without any defenses in the middle of meadows, meaning my base was open for attacks from all sides. And it worked well. Had to rebuild some parts of the base a few times, but I was prepared to do that anyway since i played without defenses.

I like to use the hoe to make an earth wall all around, makes you immune to every raid except the drakes

I wait out the two minutes, then go out and smash them.

I keep my base in the Plains surrounded by a moat/ditch. The wild Lox, Fulings and skeeters tend to take care of any raid. Then I go pick up the loot afterwards...

well, at least something i should do by myself, right? :)

Never been attacked by trolls which is the only thing I'd be worried about, as they could destroy my base. Had dwarves and skeletons in Meadows/Black Forest, but never been attacked in the Swamp or Plains where I usually just keep a farming base for plains-only crops.

I tend to build against the water for a side I don't have to guard and also to launch boats, and cover the other three approaches with palisades and put a walkway along their top so I can bow-snipe attackers.

The wooden trap things seem to be destroyed easy so I don't bother with them, and I don't bother with pits or raised terrain, because it is easy to just repair walls as they are being damaged. I often farm copper in the Black Forest by putting a palisade all around it; mobs tend to walk around it, and if they do attack a wall, it is easy to just repair it and then continue mining.

Eventually the enemies will kill the abominations

Originally posted by Jockey:

what kind of strategies do you adopt, for those kind of situations ?

In the plains, I ignore them. The denizens of the Plains will do them in nicely.
Everywhere else, I go out and kill them all.

If its trying to damage my home, Ill kill it. If not, I ignore it.

if im inside my home - i step out and fight the enemys there
maybe have some sharp stakes around to lure them in

most of the time - get the weapon of my choice and beat the heck out of them
