Preliminary research into zone tiers.

Uses "world tiers" (from Text.txt):

methods:

   * JoppaWorldBuilder.getLocationWithinNFromTerrainTypeTier
   * JoppaWorldBuilder.getLocationOfTier(int tier)
   * JoppaWorldBuilder.getLocationOfTier(int minTier, int maxTier)
   * Zone.NewTier
     * This one is even weirder for Z-levels, it ignores the surface "world tier" entirely for strata 6 and below. This has the most noticeable impact on historic site credit wedge rewards and baeytl rewards
   * ZoneTemplateNode.VariableReplace

features:

   * Sultan historic site placement
   * XP reward for visiting a sultan historic site if you DON'T have the quest to visit that site already (250 * world tier)
   * XP reward for visiting a village
   * Kindrish (location of tier 4-6), random z level from surface to 9 below ground
   * Either/Or atomizing into a creature (creates a creature of the zone's "world tier")
   * Baetyl rewards (only a potential influence - the game ensures the reward item is at minimum equal to the "world tier" plus a random number from 1-2 (max 8))
   * Generic faction encounters in most zones (anything that uses "FactionEncounters" builder, which is a lot)
   * Historic site relic zone builder / cybernetics credit wedge rewards
     * doesn't affect the actual relic itself - that uses the "zone tier" instead
   * ZoneTemplates.xml (wherever there's a "{zonetier}" that needs replacing in that file)

Uses "zone tiers" (from "RegionTier" tag in ObjectBlueprints):

methods:

   * Zone.Tier
   * Zone.GetZoneTier
   * ZoneManager.zoneGenerationContextTier

features:

   * XP reward for visiting a sultan historic site if you DO have a quest to visit that site already (250 * zone tier)
   * Legendary lairs - all features, including the creatures and the merchant stock generated there
   * Village generation
   * All other XML files besides ZoneTemplates.xml (encounters, populations, etc) whenever there's a "{zonetier}" that needs replacing
   * All other dynamic population generation, including creatures and items
   * Everything else that cares about zone tier that's not already listed here or above
