I always go to my stronghold to assist manually with the defense against invaders.

 

It seems like every time I do this, my stupid NPCs guards get pissed off about something and turn hostile.

 

I realize that it's somehow my own doing...misplaced aoe's or some form of accidental friendly fire. But they're so pissy. All I have to is burp in the wrong direction and all 8 guards become traitors.

 

Any chance of raising the damage threshold for NPC treachery?

Oh ... is THIS why I always have to rehire hirelings after every time I defend the keep? They're turning hostile and getting killed?

 

I can't be expected to keep track of every blue circle!

I thought they'd disappeared because of a bug.

 

But.

 

I just killed them.

 

Oh.

I havnt tried these battles yet but if that's the case **** it. I throw all my fireballs and firewalls at my warriors and they never turn hostile.
