Look, I've learned the hard way that building a keep in a location that's difficult to defend against neighboring factors comes with a steep price, and I've paid it myself in more ways than one.
I have one keep of level 15, and it's been a struggle to maintain its power in the face of encroaching enemies, not to mention the strain it puts on my own resources. Right, the key to success is finding a keep that's accessible but not too exposed, and one that complements my existing holdings without breaking the bank.
For instance, the keep I have now is a decent size but not ideal for my factor, [SITH2], and I've had to sacrifice a good chunk of my resources to keep it up to par. Look, I could do without the stress and the expense, and I'd much rather have the flexibility to move my troops and power around as needed.
Still, hindsight is 20/20, and I've come to realize that the cost of building in the wrong location is usually a lot higher than the cost of moving on when the situation calls for it. What do you think, do you have any advice on where to build a keep when you're just starting out?
