I like to field armies and fight invaders without playing tower defense. Having a large sprawling city with many different neighborhoods(markets spread out). I constantly find myself micromanaging villagers to keep them from charging head first into arrow fire from raiders. Sometimes not even trying to run away and just running inbetween 100’s of raiders. Please make villagers smarter somehow, simply able to keep distance from raiders, or maybe just not do their tasks in the direction of the attack. Thank you.
I recently figured out that if I have a Harvest area along the enemy march this is why villagers keep running towards them.
its mainly hunters and foragers for me, but yes sometimes laborers are very willing to die. Sometimes they flee, usually always to late. And sometimes they flee right into the enemy ahah
