Albion Online Queen Patch 5 adds penalties for large alliances

The latest patch to Albion Online is live, the update includes the first step to introducing penalties to large alliances, Siphoned Energy Drain.

We detailed a number of the expected penalties in a previous article, the Siphoned Energy Drain debuff reduces Siphoned Energy gains to all alliances and unallied single guilds that have ten or more territories, with each additional territory beyond ten further decreasing energy earned by 5%.

• Minimum average IP for Smart Cluster Queue reduced from 800 to 700
