Relic retrieval by allied factions

[Lorkar]

How about putting in a script that would allow an allied faction to retrieve their own relic without having to slaughter everyone to get it? I have multiple characters that are hostile with various factions due to getting relics back. Maybe they could talk to the priest of cleric of the temple the relic is in.
If not then what is the sense of even having factional allies?


Maybe even have a requirement of having to get trophies from enemy factions.

That is a great idea. I have had faction allies ask me on many occasions why I was hostile to them, and the answer every time was because I regained our relic from their cradle.

This does make a lot of sense. The allied faction would only be "babysitting" the relic, until they finally came by and picked it up.

no. the original intent/design of relics is that it is so precious your allies don't matter when it comes to relics. in that respect..you have no allies.

whats the point of faction allies then?

how about adding to the relic script that if a faction has a relic bonus allied factions get half or 1/4 of that bonus, it would give faction allies some meaneing other than nps and players being blue

Indeed... or even change it to a temporary hostility if you retake your relic... or some way to repair faction allied status.

you don't get xp for your faction ally having relics because....you don't have them

you don't remain friends with your faction ally if you steal relics from them...relics are precious and no one wants to give them up.

relics induce greed...by both the players and the npcs. they allies don't share with each other because each "must" hold all 7. the relics themselves are such a powerful item that no ally can resist taking them all.

there are ways around not raiding your allies...your just too greedy to use them.

Faction Allies are much more than just a "back ground" story. It's up to you what to make or do with them...
