Not everyone is at that point, obviously.

Take me, for example: I went ~80 in-game days without a raid of any kind, then proceeded to kill the Elder and after hanging its trophy up (~2 to 3 days after killing it), got nailed with 3 raids within a couple in-game days.

Didn't really lose a lot.. I think a cooking rack from a Draugr Archer, and the front wall of a non-completed forward Swamp base thanks to Trolls.. but, afterwards, I raised an earth wall around said forward Swamp base.

Another Troll raid happened at my original base after raising a wall around it also. Trolls never moved upon spawning, until I shot at them.

Ultimately, the wall costs next to nothing (stones, oh no) to raise, and at the very least gives you time to kite stuff away from your base. I didn't mind those raids at all, though; I've since put all that Troll Leather to use and it's worked out really well for my Swamp stage.. since it takes 8 billion Iron to fully build and upgrade everything I want. (Iron Mace, Sledge, Armor, Workstations and related items) (Exaggeration on the amount of Iron needed, obviously.. but the amount to do all of that is massive.) (But still easier and far more rewarding than most Bronze stuff.)
