6 Relics!

/salute Gundorf!
That was great! When we were on Door 3 I did a /who snowdonia and we only had 39.
This was worth doing just to piss them off.
Now for the bad news. Strategically this sucks.
We have no purple relic guards anymore. FYI folks:
3 relics owned = 75% frontier keep relic guards
4 relics owned = 50% frontier keep relic guards
5 relics owned = 25% frontier keep relic guards
6 relics owned = 0% frontier keep relic guards.
Our relic keep now has normal con guards. 2 groups can handle a relic pop.
And the other bad news:
"Characters who are defending their home frontier against invaders with a corpse summoner in their realm will now receive a 15% RP bonus for each enemy relic they currently control (Up to a 60% total bonus) to recognize the added difficulty of defense in this situation and as an additional relic reward. "
We only get RP bonus if they take a keep and upgrade it for corpse summoner. And any smart relic force won't take keeps because it changes nothing at relic keep. Even with 5 relics smart attackers wouldn't take any keeps.
So people have to realize, a 3 group force can easily take a relic now. Maybe even 2 groups could do it if people didn't figure out the guard spam.
Guard Spam differences:
A viking jarl has been killed at your keep with x number of enemies...
A Blendrake jarl has been killed at your keep with x number of enemies...
First one is frontier keep, 2nd one relic keep
Look how easy we took a relic last night with 40 people and 4 keeps taken. Imagine how easy it would have been with 6 keeps taken. Then we could have done it with 20. Thats how it is for them now.
And we can talk all we want about Odins being the next emain, but it's not realistic. After sitting at amf odins without any action for 2 hours, people will port to where the action is. And as I said, all it takes is 3-4 groups to sneak through to grab a relic.
Yah, yah, I know this post was too long for some of our ADD challenged kiddies. Sorry, bored at work.
