Lol, i dont think you can bash the gate with just 9 people
Even when not defended it won't be able i think, but i have just been at 1 invion so i just know that 70-80 syrtis (with i think 50 lvl 50 chars) like 4-5 minuts to take down the gate, if you remember tyr, we needed that to take a lvl 4 fort...

Sometimes ignis can get a group of 30 together, but syrtis routinely has 50, and can if it wants to get 75. whens the last time you have seen 50 ignis anywhere at the same time...

This isnt about horus, we are talking about Tyr

Alsius@Horus excel in will (not necessarily resources) to defend, but is very reluctant to invade. It is a long walk to the enemy castles at the far other end of the map. Why the castles are placed asymmetrically on the map like that or why the blue part of WZ is significantly smaller than the red and green zones, is mysterious indeed.

And I suspect the population numbers are bogus. There are too many players with too many accounts in all realms. It would be hard even for NGD to tell, but I think it is quite plausible that some players deliberately grind alts in enemy realms to screw up +RLM or gate guard numbers, but remain loyal to only one when push comes to shove. That hypothesis will never be testable however (I can't think of any way to prove or falsify it), so it is the algorithms for +RLM and gate guards that are to blame and ought to be looked over. There are asymmetries regarding races and items between realms in the game and also regarding the terrain, we all know this. But then it doesn't make much sense to aim for balancing realms so they have equal number of players either. The relevant figure to watch would be strength, which is something different than numbers due to mentioned asymmetries.

Now people of Syrtis have complaints, but you guys invade in the morning when no one is online, so i guess i should say: Congratulations Ignis!
but how do they calculate the extra guards?

To Fritoss:I think the 25+ wars at Alga Bridge in Tyr were quite nice
I think Alsius wasnt overpopulated, but that's my opinion

anyways i am the owner of Apollo, but started a knight.. a friend of mine played Apollo, now i am back to play both of them hope to face you when you're not with a zerg

If I haven't already done so let me express my admiration to the Ignis @Horus core of invaders who always seem to be so successful, even now with a normally large discrepancy in the fight. I don't like being invaded by you guys, and I can't stand that I've never even set foot in your realm, but I recognize the teamwork that goes into making things work for you.

I really don't like being in a realm that seems to have nothing but consistent failure at invasion, but I should acknowledge now that it's not wholly because of numbers. I'm sure in some thread I've stated that before, or at least expressed my displeasure at consistent failure, but here I am reversing it into a geniune recognition of teamwork in the other side.

Just wish I could do something about it.

Lol dude we didnt did it in 4-5 mins, you better say 20minutes but we did managed to do gate with just 9 people it is possible
Yeah with 5 lvl 20 noobs you do need that time, but we are talking about our best barbs and hunters .

Ive logged plenty of times first thing in the morning and syrtis had already invaded when Ignis had NOBODY to defend. You guys actually had about 25-30 @ your gate. So sorry for the almost near even fight we know how much u greens hate that

I bet this hurts to look at.
