Defending my colony video.

[Rex705]

I made a short little video of a raider attack and how I defended it. I have a bunch of mods like project armory so everything looks nice. I wish I had better audio bit oh well it's not to bad.

Haha... this is just the beginning!

I defend by building a long and narrow hallway at the entrance to bottleneck them and give them no defense. My colonists can just shoot volleys and even if they miss, they could hit some other enemy. I also swap out colonists during a battle because the guys in the front tend to take all of the bullets. So to keep them mobile and able to shoot, I switch them out with colonists in the back. Most of the time, the strategy proves effective, and only occasionally 1 or 2 get incapacitated.

You also don't want to move your colonists around too much, especially so many at once, because there are high chances that one of them is currently stunned, and they'll just receive even more shots because they're closer. Plus, moving around also interrupts firing, and time is critical during battle.
