Rebuilding production after a raid
A raid can interrupt production by idleing workers, destroying buildings, or forcing a defensive shift. Recovery should restore the most important queues first.
Overview
A raid can interrupt production by idleing workers, destroying buildings, or forcing a defensive shift. Recovery should restore the most important queues first.
Plan and execution
Check surviving production, reassign workers to the resource that is now short, and rebuild the building needed for the next unit or counter. Resume Villager production and housing once immediate threats are contained.
Risks and adaptation
Rebuilding every lost structure at once may delay the army and expose builders again. Prioritize what protects the base or restores the current plan, then replace secondary infrastructure.
Decision example
Count the lost workers and buildings, then restore food, housing, and the core military queue in that order if immediate defense allows. Move workers to a safer resource site while replacing the camp or Farm that was attacked. Rally replacement units inside the protected base rather than along the old exposed route. Check whether the raid revealed an opening in the wall or a lack of counters; repair that weakness before investing in extra production buildings.
