[QUOTE="Slit518, post: 8436783, member: 6803713"] There are several ways to combat this: [LIST=1] [*]The agricultural area is also walled in. [*]Guards patrol the agricultural area with some towers around. [*]If monsters are a looming threat, perhaps farmers are taught the basics of weapons combat with their tools. [*]A powerful "witch" lives nearby, and she offers protection. The monsters have stories of a terrible, powerful foe nearby, who happens to be that very witch, and that alone is enough to scare them from getting near. [*]Civilization is far enough from the horrors of the outerworlds that monster attacks are rare and unheard of. [/LIST] I would say civilization has these barriers: [LIST=1] [*]You have your town; city; hamlet; village; etc [*]Then there is your farm land. [*]Then your fields. [*]Then the forests; hills; mountains; body of water. [*]The monsters probably inhabit the deep forests; under the hills or mountains, or in deep waters. [/LIST] So monsters would have to content with animals first, stag; bear; wolves; fox; eagles; hawks; snakes; etc. Then they would find their way to humans. But, if it is just 1 monster, they may be too scared, much like a wolf not nearing a camp sight with a fire and several folks. If not that then it may be a group of intelligent monsters, such as Kobolds; Orcs; Goblins, perhaps raiding for food or supplies. Which, would be just like real life where one group of people would do in kind to another group of people. So then really it would get turned into a small scale skirmish or a war if a larger army marched through. [/QUOTE]
