This is going to attract participation from coiners.

This event already appeared on the mobile version. I've only seen two of the buffs/debuffs so far. One was used against my league to decrease all resource production of all league members by 20%. The second one was the buff my league applied to counteract part of it, which increased all resource production by 10% for all league members. These buffs/debuffs also seem to last a week.

Decent idea but im not entirely sure how this is going to work.

So...

The bigger leagues are juicier targets because their fortress flags give more tournament points or the leagues with the highest level fortresses?

Also when a leagues flag is captured by a rival league do they hold it somewhere? Their own fortress? Is it possible for that league to retrieve it? Or do you only hold the one flag, one its lost you cannot lose it again cause there is none? Not sure how one league can get multiple debuffs with one flag to be taken, i guess theres only lots of buffs to be had? If one league hits multiple but each league will only get one debuff cause one flag lost?

How is the flag system going to work once its taken etc? Does it respawn lol? 

Edit: Another question.. do you get points for men killed at the fortress to obtain the flag & for capturing the flag or just for capturing flags? The rewards better be good, some off/def going to be blown up this tourny lol

a good idea i think, but is well knowed the fortress level 5 and 8 usually are not defended. I think for capturing a flag, a fortress must be downgraded, if not, we will be overflooded with buffs and debuffs

And some questions : who will use buffs/debuffs (marshall, captains...)?, types of buffs/debuffs will be assigned randomly?

I hope these tournaments were not created to spawn more sapphire based items

I guess the base idea is good, but the execution is bad because of the state of league fortress's. Once at a certain level its more or less forget about them.

Would been better to have "neutral" objectives to hold. The more of them you can hold, the more flags you would get, and your league can only stretch "so far" really, so there would be a lmit on how many you could hold and keep. the more you stretch, the more voulnerable you get for someone to come take the objective from you. It would give more room for leagues of all sizes to take part rather than concede to the fact, such a tournament is for the big boys.

Look for owner benefits of current Fortress. Look again. Nothing!

So some have to be changed. Pushing players to fight and loose troops will bring changes.

Talk about tiers is fog. While stronger opponent has fill its power against weaker opponent this game will be unbalanced.

When stronger opponent will attack weaker opponent with 20-80 of its real power (like in some games other than Plarium) then weaker opponent can really make big damage to bully if it want to risk this game will go to balanced goal. Not arrive just go.

It says clearly "successfully attack", not "successfully downgrade", so I assume that means even level 5 and 8 fortresses are not safe.

I'm scared that real target of this update are Fortress level 5 and level 8. After almost all who ever planned to raise level of fortress finished with upgrades, usually sacrificing sapps (real money), time is for 'reward'. I expect that we'll be penalized with some negative outcome every time when someone will attack empty (protected) fortress. Soon or later we will have to fill fortress and new needs for real money will come.

Some of you may have seen this Tournament in Rise of Balur. But we made some changes this time after we received our players' feedback. So it will be a bit different.

Each League that is more that 24 hours old and has a League Fortress of a level 3 and higher, can participate.

When the Tournament starts, all Leagues will be divided into Tiers and will get a corresponding type of the Flag.

All Leagues can capture Flags of:

1) their own type,

2) 1 type below,

3) all types above.

After each successful attack, your League Fortress will get a protection against attacks:

1) 1 hour for all other Leagues,

2) 2 hours for the last attacker League,

3) your League will still be able to attack other Fortresses.

4) if you attack another League Fortress, that League will be able to attack you even if you have a 1-2 hour protection.

I hope that I'm wrong.

The most obvious question should be...

What are the rewards for defending?????

This is just another nerf against defenders?

My fort is empty and will remain empty, you can attack it as often as you like. They gave us a fort with glass walls so why waste defense?

"At the end of the Tournament, the Top 10 Leagues in each Tier shall each be rewarded with valuable bonuses"

This tells me that the top tier is going to be massively unbalanced, what hope is there for any league outside the top 20 competing with those inside of it?

We need more information on tiering in order to decide if its worth taking part.

Lord Almericus,

All Leagues shall be divided into Tiers according to their positions in the Rankings when the Tournament starts.
