Tournaments!?! I joined after the true starting Toruni so I don’t know if there was anything like this but…

…how about an IC Tournament again BUT contests can be completed by formalised multi-player battles?

“Formalised” means to a set number and type of support units and upgrades plus General units must match as closely as possible the Avatars own upgrades.

Example:

The Foot competition would have 1 x dismounted knights + 3 units of choice but to a maximum upgraded level (i.e. you can have any three foot units…NO archers or crossbows…but only to a max of 2 bronze chevrons and silver armour and no weapon upgrades).

The Joust could be similar but only mounted units…again no archers or crossbows.

Think you can see how this is going. Just an idea, not ideal but might keep players doing something other than bouncing the Ai.

Another added option might be that Avatars “active” in the Tournament may NOT lead an army in the field. The Avatars must move to Paris or wherever the contest is to be held and remain there for the duration.

Again, this can be used to give other players a chance to lead armies as control is moved to them.
