We have added this long-requested feature to allow you much greater control to force the goblins that can protect and fight to do so while the workers and the rest of the village flee to the warrens. Keep in mind that this means your production will be on hold while you defend against the attacking enemies, so use the feature sparingly to avoid falling behind in your industry or having your goblins freeze or starve to death if left in defend mode for too long.
We hope you enjoy this update and are already hard at work on the next one! Remember to join us on discord to give us feedback and help improve the game.
Have fun!
