I am new to this mod and added rimwar and this mod in a wombo combo since i heard it is all the hype if you faceroll through normal rimworld.

I have my own town "Going strong"
I have a settlement just south (4-5 tiles) and 2 more (4-9 away from that) controlled by the AI.

The first two where wins, but now i just keeping battered non stop. I have even tried to kick open dev mode to try and stop attacks coming in on the world map. It dooes not help... my towns are slowly losing loyalty.

I toggled "Auto defend other towns: true" and build a barracks in each of them and they all have between roughly level 5.

I am not sure if this is a rimwar or empire issue but...
