Fellow Barbarians!

How does the Purge interact with Living Settlements and the new mobile crafting thralls? Do they increase the number of attackers in a purge like regular (combat) thralls?

@Khaletohep wish I could answer that correctly for you. Recently have been playing on private PS4 server’s so I can’t be sure if it makes a difference but I don’t believe it does. We have a ton of thralls and still pull off purge

Yes, they do, as far as I know. I don’t remember the exact formula, but it scales. For x number of thralls, you get y additional attackers.

In my first tryout of the new system, I had… well… maybe 100 thralls to defend my base. Maybe I overdid it a bit, but I was traumatized by some of the old purge events, i. e. having a Rockslide spawn right inside your base, and I didn’t want to risk my hand-raised collection of named thralls as first line of defense.
So, there was my almost complete collection of all named thralls, a recreation of the cast of the Flash Gordon movie, and about 60 or so thralls I had to put to actual defense.
There were layered defenses, scores of archers, cannon fodder troops to soften the enemy, reserve troops in case of a wall breach…

The result was spectacular. An army of attackers surrounded my walled city, and scores of soldiers swarmed out to meet them. Imagine an anthill being invaded by another ant tribe.
It didn’t last long, as my computer crashed shortly after. If you had a power outage at that time - my fault.

But then people discovered that more is less.

So, yeah, keep it simple. Ten thralls or so seems to be a sweet spot.

But I don’t know if crafter thralls count or not, and I’m too lazy to try it out myself.

P. S.:

Here’s a rough formula from before living settlements:

yeah had this experience too, before the big nerf some berserkers was able to deal with avalanche purges with some casualities. But it was always unpredictable. After the big thrall nerf, a purge of a wolf pack killed my five geared and lvl 20 dalinsias.
