Final countdown: My defenses, how to improve?

[RuneNL]

Learned a few things, thank you Colesie!

16 hours to go!

Raised yellow bile and blood to 120. Moved all items into central location, built additional 15 braziers...totally broke...
I will of course give a update as this finishes.

You really wanna post your biles to them?

I am pretty sure they are determined to raid me anyway, and in advance it might deter them if they were thinking my biles were lower. So i don't mind, but i understand the principle of not posting em =)

I would suggest making alts now, as many as you think you may need. Because of the new mechanic where your claim stone becomes destroyable for 5 minutes, it would be better to stock up on them now. I would log them off outside your base, or even inside (I lost a hovel to a raider breaking in at the perfect time, destroying my claimstone, and putting one of his own up instead). If you need to jam someone in a spot while they are taking fire, log an alt and kamikaze them into a corner with bodies. Immovable for 30 minutes, so great if you can do it.

If you can help it, use alts to repair walls. If something breaks, better to pull an alt into combat than pulling your main into combat. Losing homestead and keeping your main is much better than losing both and starting a new main.

Be sure to update us following the battle! I'm sure we would all like to know how you fare.

So so true. Good luck to you. Can't wait to hear how it turns out.

I sure don't like the usage of "alts" to win, but now that i am in this situation i belive i will have to give it a go!
I have never used alts for this before, but i think i understand the key principle of putting my alt in the way making em unable to get pass, so let's say they are bashing my walls and get in, so instead of rebuilding the wall i just put an alt there instead? Or how do i use this wisely?

I would give any important Equipment to an alt such as seeds,iron,silver or whatever that can be used to boost ur new claim with because its a high risk u will loose that camp and have to make a new one.
Ur abit low on biles to fight back i would say and if u would have had more braziers u could have compensated some biles with heavy brazier coverage.(alot more braziers)
Right now i would
save important stuff,
decide if u want to risk any characters Death for fighting/repairs. alts can be used pretty easy for repairs not risking ur main characters Life.
wait and see how fast they bash ur outer layers giving u some hints about their biles and number of players.
When using Your main character Count on it being killed,count on ur base being destroyed and if it doesnt happen and you are able to defend see it as a bonus that u survived.

No i am not that eager to lose my main to be honest, I belive the key question is, should i use my main in combat against them? Will my main contribute enough, or is it better to just let alts run the show instead? Because right now i am thinking about just running far far far away from this place, then when the action begins i'll check with my alts how strong they are, if not that strong i port back and fight back, and if too strong i simply make a leanto and make a new homestead. How does that sound?

Sounds like a good plan,atleast u have ur main to rebuild with then if theyr strong.
and it will go fast to rebuild with ur main.
