Upgrade Tourney rewards, Discontinue Flag Tourney, Upgrade League Forts, and Allow league Targets
1. Eliminate Fortress Flag Tourneys
This Tournament is worthless. It's over in first 60 seconds of tourney start. People time all the hits to land on undefended fortress. It also promotes bigger league to keep lower leagues at level 8 for easy flags. Now if the rewards were worthless, no one care but having the biggest league rewards (7 days buffs/debuffs of your choice makes this an unbalanced reward.)
2. Upgrade Tourney Rewards
This is easy. Allow players more choice on the rewards from a tournament you can get. Players have different styles, as well as accounts in different development stages. Many players do not need resources, or certain kinds of dragon marks, etc.Give players more choice on rewards (if you reward a dragon mark, player chooses type) or even reward players with a small amount of sapphires or even a league chest as a choice. No one wants to compete in tourney with reward that are worthless to them. Most tourneys rewards are worthless to most players.
3.Upgrade League Forts
Easy allow league to upgrade their forts past level 8 without the possibility of downgrade. You could make this cost glory points or Tomes. That way smaller weaker league could push in league tourneys for a tangible reward to help their fort. Their should be more goals for a league to work together for a goal in game. You could cap this ability of protection of fort at level 15 by using tomes/glory points
4. Allow League Targets
This is simple. Stormfall is supposed to be a war game. Allow league marshalls to designate an enemy league as target. Reward players who attack this designated league target with more PvP points and XP for tourneys. Maybe 1.5 times or 1.2 times (you decide) the normal points up to the max rewards for all tourneys when attacking or defending a league marshall's designated league. You would have to limit to stop abuse, that is why I suggest a cap on points gained this way (up to tournament max rewards which shouldn,t effect tournament leaderboard). Also, Marshall can change league targets with a 3-7 day cooldown when switching. Marshall's should be able to direct their members (and reward them) for attacking targets that help the league.
