Companions/mercs defence

[Letoo]

Hey you bunch,

I have a question concerning companions/merks defensive capabilities, I set both friend and merc to protect my lang against any stranger they see and then tested it with alt (with different faction whatsoever) and they didn't even lift a finger. How does that exactly work?

The alt knew the location, would that affect the outcome in any way?

Generally what I am trying to achieve is the merc and companion shooting ANYONE that gets to my tent, one way or another. Just for the extra safety.

The function works in some way, because when I landed on a base to exp him a little he went bloodlust and murdered all the base brahmins for some reasons of his.

Any input would be appreciated!

Best Regards, Letoo
