Thanks for watching guys. If you click the link about, you can see the attack! I beat them 3:1 without any deaths (actually lost 3 pets) and just a few minor bumps and bruises.

The stone clearing/barricade worked perfectly. I spread out my gunners and sent my pets in to "tank". They never made it to my back line, or even my middle line.

I think I have the most advanced tribe during this game and the computer has stopped attacking me completely- so there is little to no challenge. I turned the difficulty up to extreme and will see if it makes a difference.

Streaming. Battle won't be for a bit- need to finish winter season. goal is to have it begin tonight.

Thanks guys! I'm stoked. I am going to take both pieces of advice tonight.

I didn't know about the 24 hour timer.

How long would you say I have before they attack me if I don't fire first?

Plan is to add a door to that large sizeable building in the corner of the map I enter from, lay down a couple medical sleeping spots, unload food, use stone blocks for cover and use mortars/long range machine gun in cleared space as they attack. If I get overwhelmed, I'll send my guys into the little stronghold to regain our advantage.

It's been a long time coming for these people of The Tree.

Their tribe of savages relentlessly attacked my peaceful village for years and eventually killed my second in charge and most loved colonist in a freak accident headshot with a long bow.

I made it my goal (about a week ago in rl time, probably a few years IG) to find this tribes base and eradicate their entire civilization before they can do more harm to mine.

Their closest base was very far from mine. I launched 3 settlers the furthest I could be launched towards them which is about 6 tiles away (a days walk when the weather is nice, 3 days + in the winter). My second base is almost as nice as my first base now.

I scouted out the colony i'd be attacking and set up a very small base 2 tiles away so I could have an escape plan.

The base is multiple wooden buildings in a square shape and it's surrounded by tons of layered sand bags for relatively solid cover.

There were approximately 20 settlers armed with bows.

The buildings look like they're filled with loot- so I don't want to burn them down.

Their base is in the middle of their map and i'll be approaching from the top right corner, with a small square building that is just missing a door. I plan on using that as on site protection and using a mortar to cause as much outside damage as I can.

Will they rush me? I'll be outnumbered probably 2:1 or 2.5:1 with approximately 6-8 heavily armed soldiers against 20-25 tribes people.

Any strategy I can take to make this a flawless victory would be greatly appreciated.

Am I able to take prisoners?

Thanks

All valid points. -Don't take damage- is really a good way to look at it.

However, our pawns are also able to survive laying on the floor covered in 5 other's people's blood with 6 gun shot wounds to their body after being patched up by a guy with a 2 doctor skill.

Thanks for all the help. I got more done in one gaming session with 3 pawns than I had in a week's worth of gaming with 8 pawns.

No longer recruiting everyone that isn't a complete psychopath. Being very selective of the pawns I decide to pick up and am not spending so much time tending to wasteful pawn's mental break risks.

I've been investing all of my silver and iron into my defenses/weapons/armor and it makes a huge difference. The raids I'm getting haven't been larger than 4 enemies at once...so far.

This is the best game that's come around in a long, long time. Not just strategy games....all games.

This would explain why the first massive attack that put me on my heels included 12-15 attackers with machine guns/grenades/incendiary launcher and the attack I just experienced last night while surviving with my 3 beat to crap followers living out of my refrigerator only caused 3 guys with bolt actions to attack.

wow, guys, thanks!

I never knew about wealth = risk of larger raids.

I always start out strong, get up to 8-9 pawns, collect tons of resources, begin preparing for my next phase of technology (right around the time I get my thermal electric generating machine), get a massive raid that injures half my colonists, then have three more bad things happen in a row that kills everyone.

Hey thanks man!

I'm wondering if cash in exchange for a huge mood debuff is worth the cash.

Hey guys- first post ever.

I love this game. It fulfills my love for survival, strategy, city building and RPG gameplay.

What's the best way to make a ton of money these days? It seems as if they leveled off smokeleaf and flake.
