Shattered Kingdoms

I think your a little misinformed. If team darkie could take a relic with just 3 of its people, team lighty and neutral would never EVER be able to get their relics back (Unless you are saying a team of 3 necromancers with 20 animates each which still cannot kill a guardian with 1 relic).

It took over 700 animates to kill a guardian with two relics vs what did you say 9 or more (lets say 14) team lighties and if just one priest was around with the guardian he or she could have dropped that army like it was nothing. That is 50 animates for every 1 member on that lightie team.

When CRS first started it had many things that needed to be tweaked, nothing is perfect first time out. Griffons were immune to the guardians gas attack. A team of griffons could have done a relic raid. Just because one team doesn't try to do something doesn't mean they cannot do it.

You think lighties are nothing without relics? Look at the adepts. They had 16 characters and they couldn't do squat without a necromancer. Even when they finally did take their stuff back, it took an unbelievable amount of undead to do it. Basically, what they did was get about 200 pikes, 200 wight-level corpses, embalm all of the corpses, resize EVERYTHING to size giant, then attack when there weren't very many lighties on. I have no idea what the prep time was, and I don't want to learn. If that ever happened to the adepts again with the new changes, they would probably lose the relic until someone like cannibal decided to help them, which would probably take another two months.

Just tested. Assuming that all undead are equal concentration, I can hold ten, death shroud, detect hidden, detect invis, and still cast fod.

I never said lighties are nothing without relics.

I said they are not as powerful as darkies without relics. In truth, cabal abilities aside, the game is obviously more powerful in the dark side.

The fact that adepts could not do squat without a necromancer is largely due to them having no tanks, and as the game is currently, you can't do much without tanks. Of course, any player who has some SK experience that makes a tank, will not aim to go to Adepts, or the fist for that matter, they will pick the cabals that will give more benefits to their class, or a tribunal. That is the base reason why SK has been so polarised this whole time. If all cabals started getting a bit of everything for every class, perhaps we would see balanced, capable groups in each cabal.
