Given four towns in an area like this.
In t1, t3, and t4, people stay indoors exclusively, and only come out when it's necessary and the player is active.
In t2, people are out in the open laboring.
When an outsider comes, he has to pass by one of town 1, 3, 4, before he reaches town 2. When the people in these three towns spot suspicious travelers, they call town 2 on radio. People in town 2 then go indoors. Thus surprise attack is impossible. Town 4 regularly sends supplies to the three outer towns.
I'd like to hear comment on this idea, or if it has already been done before (which is probably true as I think there's little thing yet to be done in Cantr).
edit: I hope that this is not CRB? I don't intend to do this in game so far. One reason is that I haven't found such terrain, another is that there doesn't seem to be many large scaled attack now, which makes such complicate plan pointless. This is just what came across my mind when I read about those pirate/bandit attacks that happened RL years ago.
