Fence your island around and leave without placing a door so that raiders will not come to attack your village, but will stop in the surrounding waters for a while and leave. This method is useful when you join a server to build your own island, but you are not online. After all, raiders get stronger and stronger with the number of waves.

You can select to work with one of the three raider gangs when you attack a settlement. As noted above the difficulty depends on whether you've built there.

Can you attack a settlement without them dying?
6. The only time it seems you can attack Settlers without them dying on you, is when you " Do A Raider Job" of forcing a Settlement to be a Vassal, to feed nearby Raider Outposts. You choose this Job specifically, and then you and your desired Raider Faction members waltz in and pull a Terminator 2 on them, taking out all the kneecaps in the Settlement, resulting in converting that Settlement to a Vassal (by force).
Is the Commonwealth compatible with the Dark Side of Raidershipnessing?
7. The Commonwealth and its' inhabitants (and Minuteman faction) is not compatible with the Dark Side of Raidershipnessing, to use the technical term. So, you must totally 'give up' Sanctuary Hills, if you plan to make it a Raider Outpost [also, there are Essentially-Marked NPCs there that must be moved for the game to allow it - if you try to take over a Settlement with Essential NPCs there it will 'not work' in the game]. There are more small details, but I have never made SH a Raider Outpost yet, so I cannot answer them all, sorry.
Can you attack the faction of raiders?
4. Yes, however it requires attacking the Raider Faction present ( that you assigned to it). Because you attack the Raiders though, there is a chance the ENTIRE Faction of Raiders will be hostile to you then. Once you kill them all at one Settlement, it reverts to a 'normal' Commonwealth Settlement, which you can build up/edit some more, and then re-convert again later (if you desire).
Can you enslave Vassal Settlement?
2. Vassal settlement aren't your settlements anymore, but it is like they have a supply line to all your raider settlements. Once you enslave them, you can't really do anything with the settlement.
