one observation
we took a lot of mediocre players into the tournament
in my map I had attack 3 vs us 2 while I was fighting yet another, 4th country.
When we managed to repulsed all 4 opponents (destroying 3) another 3 attacks us with help of remaining 1 adversary....4 vs 2 once more
well I understand there is politics , metagame and so on but being attack by gangs of players who just run like lemmings all over the map en mass and do not leave anything behind to protect their countries. Well this is poor, very poor, on of them does not even know how to use arts and rams them into forts
maybe it would be a good idea in the future to set minimal rank for a tournament so we avoid huge gangs of inexperienced players who see only chance of winning in a bigger numbers, not skills.
