Nemesis System (detailed):
- Persistent world roster with controlled population:
+ Nemesis pool runs with dynamic bounds.
+ Rank distribution target is configurable per tier, with hard cap priority.
- Persistent identity and progression per nemesis:
+ Each nemesis stores unique identity data (name, title, rank, entity class/tier, home coordinates, last known entity id).
+ Combat and simulation state is persisted (virtual HP/Attack/Defense/Speed, win/loss streaks, kill/death counters).
+ Title source is tracked (for example rank- or glory-driven title assignment).
- Death lifecycle and slot recycling:
+ Permanent death threshold is rolled per nemesis between configurable limits.
+ After death/despawn, respawn is blocked by cooldown.
+ Empty slots are not instantly replaced.
+ Home-zone proximity spawns are rate-limited.
- Grudge and revenge logic:
+ Nemesis can lock a grudge target and evaluate attacks on timed checks.
+ Repeated revenge pressure is throttled by per pair cooldown.
+ Freshly respawned players get anti-chain protection.
- Family vengeance layer:
+ Nemesis kills can trigger untracked same-family retaliation near the killer.
+ Killing related non-nemesis AEC bosses can also trigger linked nemesis grudges.
- Dynamic hierarchy conflicts:
+ Internal power struggles trigger on interval…

UPDATE 21/06/2026 :
- Decreased Zombie spawning in forest biome
- Increased xp quantity to level up ~x3

UPDATE 27/06/2026 :
- Added stronger newbie protection for dangerous event spawns.
- Players below Game Stage 100 are no longer subject to dangerous event targeting.
- Players below Game Stage 600 no longer trigger Nemesis appearances when entering a Nemesis territory or a Nemesis Territory War area.
- Territory Wars still happen and resolve normally, but low-tier players can no longer disturb them or pull Nemesis bosses onto themselves.
- The heatmap system still works normally: kills still increase biome heat and can still raise the biome hazard level.
- Heatmap decay has been increased from 2% per minute by default to 4% per minute, meaning biome danger cools down faster over time.
- Events are now rarer overall, because heatmap pressure drops faster and low-tier players are protected from becoming valid event targets.
- If the last heatmap-triggering kill was made by a protected low-tier player, that player is no longer used as the boss spawn target.
- When a heatmap boss is ready to spawn, the system now looks for an eligible higher-stage player in the biome.
- If no eligible player is present, the hazard level can still increase, but no boss will spawn on a protected low-tier player.

UPDATE 30/06/2026 :
- Event radio messages have been rewritten to feel more human and vanilla-friendly, with trader-flavored warnings based on the biome.
- Master events now wait longer before the next event, with a random delay between 60 and 120 real-time minutes.
- Newbie protection now prevents events from affecting the nearby spawn behavior of players below Game Stage 100.
- Fixed a bug preventing the Necroforge from appearing in the Extreme Workstation recipe list.
