Considering I've had like 16 troll attacks total, and ONE draugr attack, I think the weights might need to be adjusted.

Honestly the draugr fight was much more fun anyway, I actually died during that one.

Wait, you can get draugr-events? I never had these oo.

My understanding is that the chance for a type to attack gets weighted by the number of those enemies you have killed.

But then if you keep getting attacked by trolls you will end up killing a lot of trolls. IDK personally though since I am normally out exploring and not sitting around a base much. So I don't get many attack events. Current play-through I have had two in over 100 game days.

I started getting two trolls. They wander around for a bit, doing no damage. I pepper them with arrows, then they walk away into the woods and its over.
I have a wall, moat and some spikes, maybe they see no path to get near my base?

i have a double wide moat, with bridges, spikes, and enough defense that most raids, end by the mobs running towards my base and dying from the defensive structures. most if not all raids ive encountered, its 1 or 2 red trolls, and maybe 1 other mob. Ive killed allot of everything in the game, so this theory is busted, as in.... you shouldnt be getting entire groups to raid your base, if the rest of us are getting 1 maybe 2 mobs. and other mobs hunting..... when a troll raid happens, its only trolls, not sure where you thought 7 different mobs would attack at 1 time.

I mean, we've had to kill a fair number of trolls in this game, but the draugr kill count is, individually, much higher.

20% per night and you hit 10 nights of trolls ?
and I agree of them being useless after a while, I mean dwarves have uses till end game

The classic problem of needing the dice to not be random so that people will accept them as random.

I never saw a single draugr attack, drake attack, or fuling attack in my world, and I definitely didn't rush through the boss progression. During the windows in which those events could have been occuring for me I was constantly getting trolls, surtlings and skeleton surprise, instead.

Obvious question, but how many bosses have you beaten? If it's two, yeah, you're going to get a lot of trolls.

I thought draugr were supposed to be the main invasion type after beating two bosses? I've only gotten them once so far. Shame, considering they have useful materials on them.

I don't think so, I think after two you're basically stuck with trolls-maybe exclusively- because I think that also ends Greyling forest attacks. There are more in the pool after you beat more bosses, but sadly, never the draugr you're hoping for.

Not much you can do on the current seed you are on now it sounds like, but in the future you can do a few things that can effect the RNG of the attacks. If you take a look at the wiki on events there is lots of useful info there that you can follow.

Here is a link to the wiki events info. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events

At least the good thing with the troll raids is that they actually spawn and move in at the character. The skeletons, draugrs, drakes, surtlings all spawn in and you spend most of the raid running around hunting them as they hunt the deer, boar, necks, and grey dwarfs.
It gets really, really annoying. If your gonna raid me then RAID ME.
