Are diplomatic attacks allowed during the duration of the tournament?

Alliance mates are now able to reinforce each other on tournament squares without killing each other. However, there is no notice of the arrival of reinforcing troops as there usually is.

They are allowed, but would be considered to be a hostile act just as they would at any other time. Scouting tournament squares is of course part of the tournament. Diplo attacks on player cities is a hostile act, and I expect players will respond in the same way they normally would to such attacks. (Or possibly with a bit more vehemence.)

Assassins at the "in play" squares?

They won't do anything. Assassins only work at cities.

Query - Unlikely I know, but for the sake of argument let's say I hold a square uncontested throughout - with no combat having taken place it would seem I am therefore ineligible for a prize? This seems unfair, as we have no control over whether squares will be attacked whilst we are in possession, surely having forces occupying any square should make you eligible for a prize...?

If you hold and win an uncontested square for the tournament... we'll give you an extra-special prize once we run the data at the end!
Yes, I take the hypothetical point. But it is, entirely, hypothetical as there's a blood-thirsty-player-mob just dying to take each square.

Yes, many apologies for this issue. My fault entirely. I copied some code from Tournament III rather than Tournament I... I am refunding troops etc to the 2 players affected by this buglet of mine.
Many apologies.

Stormcrow, the question does apply to players who might have an occupation only for a short time (for whatever reason). Or perhaps to players who enter close to the end of the tournament if people are no longer competing very much for some squares.
If a player occupies a square but is not involved in combat, does that player get a prize?
