Curious as to why you didn't start a new thread about this, rather than posting in a thread that is nearly a year old?
I thought this was the thread we use to discuss the upcoming changes to the Tournaments. If it's not, please let me know where I should be posting this message. I like that the encounters/province now are 4 instead of 8. I would enjoy the tournaments even more if we could get better rewards for all the time we spend fighting or negotiating.
I've tried almost everything to perk my fellowship's interest in the tournaments. Letting them know they can increase their goods production boosts,
gain Knowledge and Ranking Points, Relics and Rune Shards if they would compete in the Tournaments. I have even suggested what units to take into battle. Then one day I came up with an idea to help motivate more competition in the tournaments.
Whoever gets to 1st place becomes our Tournament Champion and receives a reward from me. As a reward, our Champion will have a choice to either receive 20 KPs on an AW or a double/triple goods deal, as long as the trade wizard allows it.
Time on line we will need to synchronize, so others don’t grab the prize.
So far, my idea is working. There seems to be a renewed interest in competing in the tournaments.
