I posted this message AND PDF FLOWSHEET on the Gamers website. I can't attach PDF files here unfortunately. :(
Following is the text of that post without the graphic/map/flowsheet. YOU NEED THE GRAPHIC to understand the flow though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer: I made this flowsheet in early alpha to better understand the new mechanics in the Moors for the keeps. As such, it may not be 100% accurate today. It's still a good starting point for understanding the fundamental changes that will be affecting the Moors.
One thing I didn't note on the graphic are that the LC/Isen buffs affect either upper or lower floor. One or the other. So for example owning TA and LC will increase defenses on only one floor of TA. Owning both will buff both floors.
I never had an opportunity in alpha/beta to test these mechanics fully. Some might have been changed. I'll revise the flowsheet once we have it live and we can see what the final mechanics are.
How do you read the flow?
If we own Lug, DG gains dread, defenders and skill levels for its defenders.
If we own TA, Lug gains dread and defenders.
Etc....
One of our biggest fears (and Turbine is well aware of our stance on this) is that this setup promotes a "rich get richer" structure. The more keeps you own, the better defended all of them become and the less likely the underdog can retake them. It appears Turbine intends trolls and rangers to become an integral part of keep takes when one side dominates.
