New in v.912

from Elemental Forums

I found the below tag in the CoreGoodieHuts.xml.  It looks interesting for modders so I thought I would share it.  It appears give the ability for lairs to increase in challenge over time as the PCs gain levels.  I haven't tested it yet though.

That's awesome. Nice find.

They should be able to cascade as well.  Say, every 50 to 100 turns upgrade to a higher level lair.

Just to confirm, I've seen this work in 0.913

Oh, good.  I have almost finished my early-game balancing and was about to create a few of these for testing.  Nice to know it will work!

I wanted to add a little additional information for anyone planning to use this command, maybe even me when I hunt this thread back down in 6 months.

The mobs spawned from the lair die when the lair is upgraded, and the replacement mobs that spawn from the upgraded lair appear on top of the lair. Basically the lair resets when it upgrades.
