What's your opinion of each specific raid?
Spoilers of the raids below.
1. Eikthyr - Boars and Necks
2. Forest is Moving
3. A Foul Smell from the Swamp
4. A Cold Wind...
5. The Ground is Shaking
6. Skeleton Surprise
7. There's a Smell of Sulfur in the Air
8. You are being Hunted
9. The Horde is Attacking
10. You Stirred the Cauldron
11. What's up Gjall
12. They Sought You Out
Any raid you dislike more? Raids which are too easy? Too difficult? Which raids are just right?
I've encountered 1-10 so far. I still die to the 'You're being hunted' and 'The Horde is attacking' event. The other events are on the easy side, but I suppose 'A cold wind' and 'You stirred the culdron' might be more annoying if you're breeding animals.
All the events so far are okay, imo. "The ground is shaking" may be the best. "You're being hunted" can be very punishing, but at the same time it's a good event. "The horde is attacking" was a bit strange last encounter. No harm doen to the base, but I was overwhelmed since I didn't have enough time to prepare and they were just too many. Maybe the "You're being hunted" should be like it is - a surprise attack in the wild, while "The horde is attacking" could have the special condition of letting the player prepare themself a bit longer before the attack happens. It would still be a horde, but you'd be given a 1 minute preparation to eat what you want, arm yourself, etc.

1. Eikthyr - Boars and Necks - Food!
2. Forest is Moving - Wood and rocks!
3. A Foul Smell from the Swamp - Food!
4. A Cold Wind... - Don't remember ever having it
5. The Ground is Shaking - Annoying unless I need troll skin or gold
6. Skeleton Surprise - Very annoying, with no useful drops
7. There's a Smell of Sulfur in the Air - They don't do much damage, so let them have their fun
8. You are being Hunted - Lot's of food!
9. The Horde is Attacking - Challenging, but only had it a couple of times
10. You Stirred the Cauldron - Useless and a game changer (in a bad way)
11. What's up Gjall - Never had this one
12. They Sought You Out - Decent drops, and not nearly as hard as I expected.

You stirred the cauldron is extremely annoying, since bats tend to love to pick off your tamed animals and unless they are fully enclosed, there’s no good way to prevent it. Apart from that, the raids are not very difficult, and you can typically prevent damage to your base by catching aggro of the mobs that spawn.
On a side note, I did get the “what’s up gjall” raid once but didn’t actually see any gjall spawn. I was near a base I was building which would have made it extremely annoying but I just sat around waiting and none ever spawned. Don’t know what happened with that.

I agree. The after effects of the poison wiped out about a dozen of my guard wolves. plus chickens and a boar. Each time it happens.

My favorite is probably Skeleton Surprise. There's just something super satisfying about *step, smash, step, smash* on repeat with a mace, almost like a dance. It doesn't really pose much threat by the point it tends to pop up and yet it's not as annoying as some of the others i could say the same for.
I have been taking my time checking out the new content so I haven't gotten to the mistlands related raids yet but with that part said my most hated so far tend to be "ground is shaking", "you are being hunted", and "you stirred the cauldron" for somewhat related reasons actually. Those ones tend to defy the norms of base defense. "You are being hunted" is obvious how, it's the only one you don't actually have to be at a base to defend and it can obliterate you easily if caught off guard. "Ground is shaking" is the trolls with their ridiculous reach that can bash your brains in through your earthen walls or from your trench/moat so they are one that basically requires interception or making sure they can't spawn to begin with. Then you got the bats in "Stirred the cauldron", it's not specifically that they are fliers or the drake event would be in this list to, it's that they are small spammy fliers that can get into the absolute worst of places like flying down your chimney and ending up in your kitchen or finding their way into your breeding pens. They are not a massive threat, but they are like a small horde of mischievous little gremlins descends upon your base to wreak mild annoyance, and they are super effective at that one.
