Raid Preparation
Once you have raised your Foreman House to level 3, you will start seeing raid attacks in your farm. These raids can be dangerous, costing you time, resources, and even your squads! To protect your farm and squads, we've made a guide to help you prepare your defenses.
To begin, you need to know the basics of raids. Raiders enter from several points on the outskirts of your farm. it's important to know where these are so you can search for the raid once the countdown timer begins and prepare your squads for battle.
Once you have determined where the raid will be coming from, you should move any squads with low HP to a safer area of the farm as they are the most susceptible to death by raid; this includes Farmers, Cooks, Villagers, Cowherds and Builders a they all have less than 60 total HP. To do this, select the squad you wish to move, find a spot you want to send them and right click. Very easy.
Now that your weakest of squads have moved to a safe space, you can begin to send your tough squads to defend your farm. Find your best defenders first (Hunters and Militia) and get them in position. Then, if you still need help, move your other squads to the frontline as well.
Below are a couple of videos demonstrating what it might look like to get your troops ready for battle. Don't forget to collect the resources from the raiders by selecting a squad and right clicking the raiders after defeat!
