Add 'alert arrows' during attacks

[HomeDruid]

Hey hey, I couldn’t find a post about this, so:

When raiders attack there are sometimes huge red arrows to indicate where they’re coming from. These are great, but after some time these disappear (I guess once the raiders are actually spawned on the map), and to find out where raiders are, we can only click frantically on the “the village is being raided”-pop-up that appears then.

I think it would be cool, if you could keep some smaller versions of these arrows for all raiders that are spawned and not currently visible on the screen.

Here is an example for these ‘alert arrows’ in Factorio: https://i.redd.it/mbgoclgxmujc1.png

It would be really helpful to have something like that during an attack, because I find it somewhat hard to keep track of things during attacks and recognize smaller groups of raiders.

I have the minimap, the raiders show as banners, means I can turn off towers not in the line of attack, and save money. Your method is what I used to do, though the arrows had stopped a while ago.

Oh, that’s right. I haven’t checked the minimap for that, since I typically play with it hidden. I’ll try that next time! Thanks!

The minimap banners are slightly off-center (you want to look for the top of the banner rather than the bottom or middle), but they’re pretty good.

Anyway, the arrows disappear when the raiders are supposed to be onscreen, although IME they sometimes disappear when the raiders are almost onscreen.
