Good afternoon all.
During raiders attack I usually select the gate closest to, the direction of approaching raiders to sound the alarm and expect my villagers to gather at the selected gate. I worked perfectly until it stoped. For some time though, when I sound the alarm the villagers gather only at one, single, same gate. The only way to have them go to the attacked side of the village is to select them and send manually.

The "Alert Gathering Area" feature is pretty useless btw. as it is limited to the vicinity of the gates and only the selected gates. No clue what idea was behind that feature?

Huntig would also require some "polishing". The dogs are not well trained. They sprint to the hunted animals scattering them.

When that update came (I play on PS4 mainly), I didn't see any benefit for it. It seems you can change the assembly point of an individual gate, by a few metres around that gate.

When I sound the raider alarm, I deactivate all my platforms and guard towers on the opposite, un-needed side of the settlement. I have so many platforms and guard towers, that all my spare people fill them up. I'd rather have them standing on the ground near a gate where needed.

Dogs are never very useful when raiders attack, once you have palisades and walls. There is always one that wants to stay on the wrong side of the gate and take on all the raiders on his own.
