Raiders

Raiders are vicious AI-controlled outlander humans who periodically attack settlements. Left unchecked, raiders destroy structures, murder settlers, and kill livestock. While raiders group in numbers of three or four during the Stone Age, in later eras they arrive in larger waves with more advanced and powerful weapons.

Fortifying palisades and walls with watchtowers and guardtowers is essential for late game survival against these unfriendly visitors, lest chilling death claim your settlers.
