The one thing I like about the college of cardinals was the fact you could get some diplomatic time with some of the factions.


Since this is during Medievel times and jousting was a social event, I was wondering if there couldnt be a few things done to it.

1. Allow a Joust Trait that gives command for horse troops

2. Kings Champion Trait - When a tourney is held the COmputer picks a representative that has the best martial/command skill for each faction and they are awarded this title

3. Tournament Winner - maybe a morale boost and popularity increase with the city

Any faction with a jousting field can hold a tourney for x amount and would only apply to any non at war factions. Possibly a cap on how many can attend, or only ones who also have a jousting field.

All factions invited would have a Kings Champion selected to represent their nation. Perhaps an auto resolve 1v1 matches to determine winner.

Also during this time, like college of cardinals , you could do a little free diplomacy.

So this would be a cheap way to keep diplomatic ties going with several factions perhaps put a space of yrs between when can call one. Or the winner is the one that has to hold the next one.

Another option would be that anyone who has built a jousting field can apply and the computer randomly selects who will host and maybe like a sports schedule the even will have a set schedule of who hosts next and only when its your turn do you get to parley.


Just an idea but I was hoping with all the cut scense and what not jousting would of had a bigger role.
