We had a member who had the exact same thing happen to him...All I've taken out so far is a bunch of newbies caravans. It's costing me a fortune in horses too because I'm worried they're play the "Big bad Brids killed my caravans! Halp!" card in GC so I've been shipping out 100 to each of them...

Awww, Brids, that's so sweet.  I think 5 horses and 50 gold should be enough  Wink  Otherwise the newbs will be scouting for your armies just to send their caravans to get slaughtered.

And I can't see anyone listening to them in the middle of this tourney...

I've had a few vans killed at standing stones and I'm not upset.  Also, some of RES have inadvertently killed others' vans at standing stones.

In the tourney, the standing stones are a dangerous place for vans.  It's nice to replace the lost vans to newbies, but I think no one is going to yell "big bad brids!" over accidental van killing while playing the tourney.  I don't see a need for extra payments over the replacement cost of destroyed vans.

Gotta say, so far this tourney really blows.  On my main commander, had one whole tiny attack yesterday and and none so far today.  Would have preferred something that involved team work or strategy or had more variables of some kind to it.  Heck, if you do win, it can be a hollow victory since everyone can say it was just luck due to the obscene randomness of it.  I think it should have scaled based on league or something, since that too is based on size.  So, fingers crossed that this gets better.  Might even be the last straw for more vets that were waiting on over due content, if it fails in such an epic manner.  Just saying.  I am glad something is happening but expected more after waiting so long.

I wouldn't say it blows, armies were a bit small last night, but it is a good try at something different.

Something that does not simply involve piling troops into a square and holding it.

It also lets the devs test the combat for AI.  And I am VERY HAPPY to see that happening.

Anything is better than nothing but in regards to your comment of piling troops into a square and holding it....Ummm, almost exactly what we are doing but with less action.

The armies were small but it's supposed to grow so what's the problem? Really, if it just stay at +-100 units like 2 days ago most of league G, F and maybe E could be wipped out right now. Instead of that they still have fun and they'll try to last as long as they can... As us all :D 

Will we see Legions coming in the last days of the tournament? We'll see...

Yes, I agree with that part but as I suggested and so I thought might have been one of the purposes of the leagues besides fairness, that it might scale based on the size of the player.  I will wait like everyone else but you cannot tell me you have just been thrilled or over joyed so far.  Merely my opinion on it.  How impressed and how much fun do you think it is when you have thousands of troops siting day after day on one square to have on assault of 3 skellies during a 24 hour period?  Seriously....
