I like how the game’s combat- even in early access - is quite realistic. For example, if you’re able to flank your enemy in the field then you’ve won the battle. And in this case, gates often were set back just like you have exactly for the same reason: to allow defenders to shoot people in the back who are attacking the gates.

I tried this strategy and it works greta! I added 3 layers of walls though. The larger outer wall forces the enemy to have to travel a longer distance and walk single file down the road to the entrance. Enemies tend to get hemmed up trying to get in and never make it before breaking. I destroyed brigands from 4 camps that attacked almost simultaneously with 36 militia archers.

Omg, I just realized you're the most genius person I ever met

hey! I did your methode but everytime I try to bait the army I leave the battleground and then instantly lose the war, maybe it's due to the latest patch but I think your technique doesn't work anymore

You can build the roads while designing the castle by selecting roads above the castle buildings in the planner. This way you can add and change roads after the initial design, or add the roads while making the design the first time. Also I wonder if straight walls would better avoid that bug of enemies slipping through walls?

[BiglerSakura]

It would make sense to place a line of spearmen or retainers right behind the wall to meet those filtering through.
This "filtering through" may be considered a simplified model of climbing over IRL. The walls are simple and low enough, the game is just missing the climb-over animation.

try overlaping your walls like a spiral to make a kill corridor. and you need more entrances so the NPCs wont clip through the walls :p

Rimworld players watching this thinking, “oh that’s cute” 😂

Hey, hope someone could help me out on this one! Saw online that you could build your manor like a defense fort and place your units inse the walls, then you can bait the enemy army to attack the manor and therefore you are protected... However it seems that in 0.7.92 there is a designated battlefield and if step outside of this area you automatically lose the fight for that region. The enemy troops also seem to have some kind of problem when you are tryn to bait them into your own manor.

hope someone could wxplain why this happens and if there is any solution

Please man, can you do an special for farming? really struggling with it. My oxen seem to be super inefficient as they spend way too much time plowing the plots despite the fact that I do the sides as straight as possible and with a long shape.

I wonder why no one thinks of making star forts in this game, they're much much more effective

[TheStratoBarb]

All of this is fun but like, is it really necessary, the baron's army are too weak, you have a army 10x stronger than them even if you would let your troops get overwhelmed and circled you would win :P

is this the steam patched version that nobody other than steam players can play?

[Raycheetah]

You describe your archers as having "armor piercing arrows" and "longer range." Are these game mechanics, or dramatic prose? =0[.]o=
