Sorry for not being more precise. By "anytime after" I meant that if the magic 46 minute clock strikes within, say, 5 minutes after defeating Yagluth it CAN happen right then and catch a player totally unprepared (especially if they don't know about this because they are avoiding spoilers).

Started playing yesterday and literally within 1 minute had a raid. You never know what time it is on the raid clock.

I would think the new raids should at least be more like the troll or wolf event and only happen after you've killed one of them. That would at least signal you are ready to do battle with them.

I confess my defenses are lackluster. A simple wood palisade until the iron age when I replace it with a stone wall. When raids happen I run out and confront them so they attack ME and not the base. Killing the mobs is just free resources.

Mistland bugs are tough but quite manageable if you single them out. Just not sure about rushing out to confront them as a group during a raid ... and staying inside will clearly exact too high a cost in damage.
