A18 Raids. Lots of Sappers?

[Vlad0mi3r]

Is anyone else experiencing a large amount of sapper raids in A18? It may just be Randy being Randy but at the moment I am looking at around 70% of my raids being sappers.

It happened to me on A17. May have more to do with the base design? I went for a thick walled compound with the classic killbox (for mechanoids and thrumbos mainly)

Ive only gotten like 3 or 4 sapper raids after 4 years for my current A18 colony.

Mostly get regular raids or so called "unusually clever" raids.

Only once has a raid ever picked one point and dug all the way into my base.
Otherwise most raids result in similarly not so clever tactics as described in my post here.
EDIT: My post was moved by moderator so I updated the link.

I have a feeling I get loads of sappers and no besiegers when I dig into a mountain. If I go for a base in open terrain there seems to be less excessive amounts of sappers. I might be paranoid though my wife keeps telling me.
