World Settings

Enshrouded proposes to create several worlds. Although Embervale is the same regardless of your game type, you can still adjust certain characteristics such as the difficulty or the quantity of loot. Each world can be named to make it easier to manage=.

Difficulties

On the world creation process, you can choose a difficulty :

Relaxed : This is the most relaxed and easiest preset. Enemy amount and difficulty are tuned down, while resource gain is increased. If you mainly love to build huge bases, this is the mode for you.
Default : This is a balanced preset and is recommanded as first time experience for most players. Enemy amount and difficulty is challenging but not overwhelming.
Hard : If you love a challenging combat experience, this preset is for you. There are more enemies in the game world, they attack more often and deal more damage.
Survival : Choose this difficulty if the "Hard" preset is too forgiving. In "Survival", you will gain less XP and have lower health. Additional survival mechanics like hunger are introduced.
Custom : Customize your adventure.

You can change world difficulty from the world selection screen by clicking on Edit button. Then, you can delete a world from this screen (This operation is irreversible)
