6. Understanding the Configuration

This setting controls the level cap of wild creatures spawning on your map by modifying the Official Difficulty.

5.0 (Default for Max Level 150): Spawns creatures in increments of 5, up to a maximum wild level of 150.

10.0: Spawns creatures in increments of 10, up to a maximum wild level of 300, requiring much stronger base defenses.
