Configuring The Purge (Age of War)
Since the Age of War update, The Purge has changed from a random event to a player-triggered challenge. You now control when and how the enemy attacks.
How It Works
The old "Purge Meter" is replaced by the Treasure Coffer system:
- Build a Treasure Coffer in your base.
- Deposit gold, silver, or other treasures to increase the coffer's value.
- Interact with the Treasurer NPC (or the coffer) and select "Proclaim Wealth".
- The Purge camp will spawn nearby and attack your base to steal the treasure.
Server Settings
Ensure these settings are active in ServerSettings.ini to allow the system to function:
[ServerSettings]
PurgeEnabled=True
RestrictPurgeTime=False
Difficulty Scaling
The difficulty of the attack (Level 1-10) is determined by the total value of the treasure in your coffer when you proclaim wealth. There is no longer a server-wide "PurgeLevel" setting that forces a specific difficulty; it is organic to the gameplay.
Troubleshooting Spawns
If a Purge fails to start ("No valid spawn location found"):
- Your base might be too inaccessible (e.g., on a pillar). The enemy needs a pathable route to the coffer.
- Ensure there is flat ground nearby for the Stygian camp to deploy.
