Just a general question about the purge system, and coffers.
I was under the impression that purges only happen if, and when you add treasure to your coffer, or the area of attack around your coffer? And the other question is, does the purge come for the coffer/treasure? Or does it just attack one of your clan buildings at random like normal? And for the final question. Do the devs actually read these posts, and answer questions? Or are they so afraid of their player base ripping into them for their lack of follow through on promises, and general knowledge of what it is they do?
I can answer the purge questions. Purges are 100% optional. If you create a coffer, anything you put in or around it (treasures) adds value. That value then can be used to summon a purge to that base, and you choose the tier based on what levels you can afford from the value of coffer.
The purge will try to get and loot the coffer. 2 ways to defeat the purge, stop the raiders or pick up the coffer. The only randomness now is if you built in area that allows for the purge to spawn a FOB. Flatter the better. And coffer must have a path to it with openings or doorways.
I made 12 purges yesterday to my single player.
Purges have one great issue right now, you are not sure they will be able to reach your facility.
So i builded this in a really open area to make sure that they will happen.
Purges hit ONLY doors now, not foundations, not walls but **until they reach the treasury **. If they reach the treasury they will start stealing it and destroy everything thats on the radius of your treasury, example
So first you have to be sure that purge will arrive and then keep your treasury a bit away from your main building. Maybe the demolishers will not deal with your building that’s out of the radius of the treasury, but the fighters will engage with your thralls and pets. So it’s best to have separated buildings to protect the ones that’s not for fighting.
Another advice is do not use thralls for walls. Use walls this time. Until lvl 8 thralls can survive as long as the archers take most of the agro. They come on decades and they stagger the fighters from multi agro, so it’s best to train a bit before using trained fighters on this battlefield.
Lians lvl zero managed to survive until purge lvl 8. On lvl nine they fall in the first five minutes. The agro is massive and the npcs are really strong.
On lvl 10 it’s madness. I don’t suggest using of fighters at all, only archers protected by the height of walls, gas arrows and you trying to keep the doorways using the AOE of the war axe and retreat to heal.
On my first purge lvl 10 i fall.
On my second they managed to kill me just once and they broke 10 doors, but i win .
In this test all the archers were lvl 0, nobody died and they had shity gear, only sandstorm mask and ancient bows .
If you place better gear archers, lvled 20 with a big variation of arrows, not only noxius gas, you’ll handle the purges easily.
But build something smart, forget beauty, you need to win.
The thralls you take in the end are unique!
