Possible Relic Raid this weekend

[Eirene]

I want to hit Hurbury

I know this alliance can do it.

Figuring out the right date and time. I'm thinking Friday evening about 9 pm est.

We need approx 4-5 groups from the alliance. 2 roaming groups to gank inc albs.

We will have 2 groups on T1, 2 groups on T2.

Then, all on the keep.

We will need approx. 20 rams, 15 trebs, 10 ballistas.

Roaming groups to kill inc albs and inc albs to postern doors. Need to have a group on the postern doors. A few stealthers to climb inside of the keep to kill seige operators. I am hoping that taking down the 2 towers will be instant and we can go straight for the keep.

we need to take hurb t4 and hold it forever... that will relaxe the albs... just hold it for a day... then check the keep for any albs.. then take t1 and the keep same time... so the albs cant port...

[Joshll]

I'm slow.

After we take T1, why do we take T2?

For that matter, lets say we started with T4, why take 1 or 2?

Sorry. As I said, sometimes I'm slow.

Otherwise cool. I'm in.

We tried the tower then castle thing same time last night with about 50 mids, we lost, about 70 albs ported in FAST....

Going to have to have a tower before hand.

We did well with Surs T3 and Hurb T4 to start...then just set 2fg at the postern door, nail T1 and the castle at the same once T4 is down.

[Joshll]

I agree. T4 is the one to have in advance. And if we get in the habit of taking it daily they'll be used to it.

But, once again: If you have T4, you have already cut off port.

Why hit T1, what are you gaining?

The goal is not to take a keep so that you can hold it and let it upgrade, the goal is to get in quickly and then have everyone escort the relic home. Why split the force? Thats just more people you can have guarding the postern door, or running interference on incoming albs, or at the front door.

So after you have 1 tower at the relic keep, why take a 2nd?

Maybe I'm just not thinking.

[Bulor]

yea t4 should go down first..

we hit t1 and castle at the same time becuase..

we need a pallinstone on top of t1 to protect our ram

[SuperHelix]

t1 is key for us.

otherwise they get a palin up there and own our ram. and we have 2 places to defend, vs. a front door and a postern door.

[Eirene]

T1 and T2 and castle at same time so albs have no reaction time and won't use tower seige to kill rams, trebs etc.

[Joshll]

Nice try alliance. We just got zerged at the end but had decent progress on D2. Really sucks that is now a 3 door keep.

imo we needed a couple more groups out there with desolate to cut off the reinforcements.

And we also may need to make this an alarm clock raid.
