Oh, like the dropped armour as scrap iron that can be used for making ingots?
Ah! Thank you! I’m learning slowly, but I’m learning, and with help. Nice to see this is a generally friendly forum, and more helpful by far than other forums I’ve had the misfortune to stumble into. Thanks again.

If there are to be drops from dead raiders then it should be rare so it doesn’t discourage from investing in the home grown industry. Maybe change raids to have a ‘boss’ raid with a high ranking chief or warlord and if you kill him you get a set of top tier armor and weapons. Regular raiders can drop the odd crude weapon or shield but only in tiny amounts even on a large raid.
or you know, just occasionally have them drop a weapon, or armor, or food, or shoes, shirt. minor items. I think you and Joora have it in your head I was suggesting “All raids should drop all the loot! like an ARPG loot pinata” when you got in yoru mind that looted items could replace domestic industry.

It’s strange how dissuadded they are from some sort of gain. You have to perpetually improve your forces to fend off the waves of attacks. The game has obvious gold sinks and imbalances. One of the rules of the forum is not arguing against. The purpose is to come up with new mechanics to improve the game.
Of what I have read here, it makes sense to me for raiders to AT LEAST drop scrap weapons or armor (since they were murdered in intense battle). It opens the opportunity for a new building or a new purpose for the forge. Maybe that resource can be melted down for raw materials? Especially since resources like Iron etc are finite or even absent at times from the map you spawned on.
I also do like the idea of a productivity boost for the town after successfully fending off raiders. I’m all for new mechanics adding depth and that’s an easy passive.
The game has a ways to go. It’ll be exciting if they ever add the ability to raid the raiders settlements.
I killed the raiders AFTER they pillaged my gold and I saw the gold bars on the ground BUT there was no way to tell my people to pick them up. Same thing with putting out fires … The villagers used a ton of water and I have little blocks of water all of the place and no way to tell people to pick them up. I still have no idea where my gold that was left on the ground went to. All i know is I killed the raiders and the gold was the only thing dropped or left on the ground and couldnt get anyone to pick it up

I do not see any harm some drops of weapons from raiders, especially the armies. Im pretty sure if you’ve dispatched an army you’d be going through grabing any usable weapons, since we are talking swords, axes, shields etc these are easily reusable. Things like shoes are also possible.
Even broken weapons could be melted down in the Forge.
I would also like to see soldiers who survive big battles increase in capabilities. The invading armies have elite soldiers and hereos. There should be some increase in capabilities when dealing with 180+ armies of elite soldiers.
