Enemy damage, health, stamina, perception and aggression apply to normal enemies. Bosses have their own two settings. A value of 1 is normal.

Ideas

  • A clan on a hard setting: set Number of enemies to Many, Enemies attacking at once to Many, and raise Enemy aggression. If you only want the preset, see Choose a difficulty preset.
  • Practice a boss: raise Boss health, lower Boss damage.
  • A peaceful building server: turn Peaceful enemies on.
