[2019] Question about combat/threat levels

Currently more dangerous events are injected into the settlement event system based on the ferocity of the tile you settle, how close you are to other hostile towns, the highest settler level you have, and how many seasons you are into the game. To get the most dangerous events you'll want to settle beside another town in a tile that is ferocious.

Now, I should say that I'm currently revamping the events for combat and hostile tiles to be much more interesting and varied. Right now, most of the events are along the lines of, hey, you're getting attacked by a small group of bandits. Over the next two weeks, I'll be uploading those changes.
