Templars are attacking my dens a lot and I strongly dislike the Den Defense minigame, so I'm tempted to ignore the attacks.

I'm assuming my dens are going to get recaptured by the templars sooner or later, so I don't want to ignore the attacks for too long, but how long is too long? Should I always drop everything and go rescue my dens?

@agent86 Not sure this is a complete duplicate, but I agree it's pretty close. Probably close enough. :) – Anna Lear♦ Dec 18 '11 at 20:48
Yeah, it rung a bell so I marked it, my apologies if there's enough different to keep this one open as well. – agent86♦ Dec 18 '11 at 21:04
I go back to my den, start the defense mission, and let the Templars kick my ass while I go make some coffee. I come back and kill the Templar Captain again and then it's like it never happened. – Abby T. Miller♦ Dec 22 '11 at 14:28

From what I have read, the dens only get recaptured if you actually fail the Den Defense mini-game, so if you never get to it, they shouldn't get recaptured.

This is correct. Of course, the city will be swarming with templars if you do this. Why not just max out your den leaders? – Shinrai Dec 20 '11 at 16:06

I stopped defending them and I don't think one of them got reclaimed. I ended up getting the master assassins trained up so I wouldn't have to risk failing again.

The easiest way of keeping your dens safe is to keep the Templar awareness level low by bribing heralds and killing officials. By doing this, I only had to do the den defense 3 or 4 times in my run through the game, though I could probably have gotten away with less if I was more careful.

I particularly recommend using poison darts for dealing with the officials, as they can be fired from a safe distance without alerting the guards. Just make sure to stay in the area while the poison takes effect.
