I'm a little curious about the RNG of raids. It might just be me, but I find that raids often come during moments where the player is vulnerable in some way. Is this perhaps intentional or am I unlucky?
What I mean is, I'll be returning from a resource run and be at my base. I start to harvest and replant my garden and don't realize that I'm low on food. - Raid starts. I haven't been at my base long so that isn't the trigger.
When I'm at full food capacity I rarely see raids however.
There have also been a couple of times that a raid has started literally almost right after I've died and wake up in my bed. That's the worst. Getting the spare armor and weapons in your armory takes up enough time that depending on the raid some serious damage will be inflicted to your defenses/base before you can get out on the field to defend. And if you weren't prepared enough to have or otherwise ran out of backup armor... well good luck. lol
I know a lot of people think that the rock wall/moat is exploiting the games mechanics a bit, but I can't really afford not to do it unless I want constant anxiety while building or smelting, etc. At least for my main base. My docks, however, are just fortified with palisades and spikes. We will see how long those defenses last when I'm trying to dock my boat and a troll raid starts. I'm guessing not long. XD
