Greetings, medievalists!
Let's talk about another thing you've been vocal about. Let's talk about combat management. Right now, once the raid on your settlement starts, things can get... micromanagy. Draft settlers next to a gate, put some archers on the wall, assign someone to a siege weapon... you know the drill.
We want to save you some time with these actions and that's why we'll be introducing rally points. Once you build a rally point, select what settlers you want to tie with it and with what stance. Once the time for fight comes, use the alarm button within the rally point will draft selected settlers and make come to it:
Alright, but this doesn't solve the issue, it just compartmentalizes it. Depending how many enemies spawn during the raid and how many settlers you have, selecting every rally point and using its alarm button could also drag a bit.
That's why we are introducing Bell! With the bell, you'll be able to activate all of the rally points. You can even customize which one you want to activate and even jump to their location.
All of this should make the flow of combat (or preparation for it) a much better experience. Niiiiiice.
How does it all sound to you? Let us know in the comments. This will come in the next big patch, but still working on fine tuning stuff. There are still more talks to do, more awesomeness to reveal. See ya in a week. Until then...
Stay medieval!
