Hello, Imperian!

Today we've made a major change to the way held Monoliths impact Aspects. This change is intended to give a bit more meaningful weight to the decision of which Element to join, and balance out the numbers a bit.

Starting now, Aspects will feel an inversely proportional amount of power from captured monoliths, as follows:
- If you hold a monolith, you will always feel its full power (one monolith)
- For monoliths held by other members of your element, you will feel an amount proportional to the number of ACTIVE aspects of your element.

If all of the elements have a roughly equal number of members, then the full power of the monolith will be felt by all Aspects of that type. If one Aspect has more than others (with a margin of error to allow slight differences in numbers), then held monoliths will begin to be less effective. For example, at the time of writing, the aspects are split up as follows: 26 fire, 6 water, 4 earth, 3 air. The Fire aspects hold 6 monoliths. However, they only gain the influence of two of those monoliths. Adding the two that they naturally have for being an Aspect, they're able to make use of up to four monoliths' worth of powers - roughly half of the 8 they would have had previously.

This is proportional - the more you have over 1/4 (plus a margin of error), the less effective held monoliths are.
