Deathsight: Dunn has proven the ultimate meaninglessness of Laniara's struggles.
I'm a big fan of the Babel deathsight and dragon desc.
Honestly though, it starts 3 hours after, and lasts for 3 hours?... so that is a 6 hour commitment. You'd likely have to log in on your lunch break at work, fire up the crusade, and then come back.
@Dunn that deathsight is ridiculously cool.
I understand the idea that it can't be too punishing, but I think right now it's going a bit too far in the other direction. For example, even if you get a shrine down to 0% (and thus unable to raise shrines), at best they seem to be down for only a couple of hours before they can start raising again.

What do you think about the 200k essence cost for shrine raising? Cos I gotta say - that's murdering me right now.

From the perspective of a small Order though with only two active people that hunt and raise shrines, 200k is really easy to get ahold of.
Just looking at the last 20 RL hours though and we've lost 18 shrines. So 3.6 million essence to raise plus 90k per shrine.
If you take into account split pools we're looking at needing to offer 7.2million to cover the loss plus another 1.8million in sanctification.
It's not pretty.
People dropping 18 shrines in 20 hours may indicate that dropping shrines is still too easy/cheap/fast though. I wouldn't mind raising the denizen corpse cost of raising/defiling, so that in a good bashing run you'd be able to drop 1 shrine instead of 6 as it is now.

This is actually my inclination as well. Raising seems about right, the ease of dropping still seems to lean a bit too far in the attackers favour though.
We'll discuss options. My initial inclination would be to either increase judgement base costs and or how aggressively it scales on consecutive uses, or to simply make it cost more to drop a shrine.
I don't think adjusting judgement would stop it since you can just use headless corpses of allies, which seems really simple. Maybe people are really lazy and I'm wrong though.
I really like the balancing of sovereignty + raise costs + crusade costs with the caps that make sovereignty + no raising for a period of time a necessity to start a crusade though. It makes for interesting strategy.
I do wish the effect of a crusade on a shrine was more noticeable. Though, on the other hand, there's no incentive for the attacker to attack when the defending order is around (in fact, I think pretty much every crusade so far has had no strong defense, the heavily contested ones I've seen have been between attackers and third parties). The greater the effect the crusade has on the defenders, the more frustrating it will be that people can just attack the order that isn't present.
It's also really hard to defend even when you are present if there are, say, three factions vying for your splinters. Even a pretty solid defense might only land you at 20-30% power.
It's not. The corpse has to be > level 80 OR a corpse of a member of the order you're defiling.
