Purge tier (difficulty) scaling:
Purge tier scales with the player/clan's level and activity. Even at Purge Level 6, low-tier players only get tier-1 Purges. The difficulty cap is a ceiling, not a floor.
Tips:
- PvP servers: raise difficulty to keep raiding pressure high.
- No-Purge servers: set
Enable Purge = False. - Always set restricted hours if you don't want overnight purges destroying offline players' bases.
