Indeed.. For example:
Black flag: players with pop 50k+
Blue flag: Players with pop 30K--50K
Purple flag: Players 10k-30k
Grey flag: Players with population between 5k 10k
Brown flag: Players with pop between 2k -- 5k
White flag: Players with pop between 0 -- 2k
Then maybe a random flag event with a herald anouncement on what coordinates the flags are dropped.
Yes, for the lucky people the flag might be dropped right next to their city. The hard thing is to keep the spot occupied for 24hrs before others arrive. Maybe even let the occupying army to be reinforced by a maximum of 5 alliance members (in the same flag class).
Every flag class have a bigger and bigger price ofcourse. Else it wouldn't even be slightly worth it to send your percious army.

I suggest a small modification to your flag idea;
alloy unlimited size army to occupy black flags, large army for blue flag, .... small army for white flag.
we might need also to limit commander level...
if an army is too large , it simply bounces off.
that way large player could play against small players since units number is what maters, not city size.
the down side could be that a large player could directly attack a small player in his home town to prevent them from sending troops to the flag. but then that would happen with any type of rules.
a cool feature would be to have a colored flag in the hand of the caracter's image in your profil if you occupy a flag, or if you won the contest you'd keep the flag on your profil until next tournament...

There really is no way to reconcile level and ability of commanders until after you've been in a battle or two...

You forget that big players have high level commanders. So if a flag limits the military units to 500 units. The bigger player will still have the best chance to win agianst a small player who wants to compete for that same flag.

Brought it upwards the forum again, as it was mentioned recently

Huh?
You were recently crying here on the forum about how Aesir armies are attacking you. Is that Diplomatic Inertia? It sure sounded like you wanted to degrade Illy a little and have those attacks end for you. So what I take from this is that you like war in Illy, just so long as you are not on the receiving end of it.
There are a few players that complain about the generally peaceful environment of Illy. I gotta figure that if there are really enough folks dissatisfied with peace, that war would have already broken out. For example, Dark Blight and Eternal Champs apprear to still be slugging it out.
For those that have failed to find a war that they like, I recommend posting a thread on this forum ("Enemy Wanted") and set forth the type of war you would like:
- Total Annihilation
- First Alliance Capital to be razed/captured loses
- First Alliance City to be razed/captured loses
- No sieges, but all else for a set time period (eg: 4 weeks).
- Or, whatever victory conditions that you desire.
Surely there would be some alliance interested in striking terms with you and your boredom would be relieved.

The (very,very great
 ) tournament already covered parts of that ideas... I myself wouldn't go in for a sieging battle just out of fun, but hey!, there are people around who might like it (some like it hot
...)
And in the meantime, players also can arrange such things without firm framework, it's a sandbox after all.
We can hit those other baby-buggers in the box with our pink building forms until they cry, while our parents don't watch

Hora, you fail to get my point...anyone that wants a war now (ie, dislikes the generally peaceful environment) can find a war easy enough by putting up a "Enemy Wanted" ad. That cures the ugly problem of peace that BtB complained about.
We will see exactly how many alliances are upset with peace by watching all the eager alliances rush to post their ads. My bet is that few, if any, are interested in being in a war.
