If I understand this correctly, then the most that any square should be able to generate is 30 souls/hour for the third week of the tourney. Some squares are now generating over 30 (up to 40) souls/hour. Is there a bug in how the modifiers are applied? Of course, I could simply be mistaken (as is most often the case). |
This has now been resolved, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Quoting GC:
[01:00]<Darmon> if the top square is supposed to increase by 10 souls generated for each week its the top square [01:00]<Darmon> and only 2 weeks have passed so far [01:00]<Darmon> why is the top square making 40 souls?
That's in conflict with the published maximum (((10 +10) +10) +10) +10 = 50. Maybe the real maximum is (((10 +100%) +100%) +100%) +100% = 10*2*2*2*2 = 160 after four weeks.

CHANGES OVER TIME The souls attracted by the Circle's enchantments are the souls of those slain in the wilderness – such as those slain in battle. Therefore, more battles on the tournament squares means more souls available. Each week, the 10 bloodiest squares – the tournament squares where the most units have been slain – start to attract more souls each hour. (This is number of troops slain, not XP value. Diplomats, gatherers, wild animals do not count.) The 10th bloodiest in the preceding week attracts an extra 1 per hour, the 9th bloodiest attracts an extra 2, the 8th bloodiest an extra 3... up to the most bloody, which will attract an extra 10 souls per hour. These changes are cumulative, week on week, and persist for the duration of the tournament. So, throughout the tournament, the most fiercely contested squares will become more valuable. (The most extreme possibility would be that a single square could be the bloodiest every single week. After 4 weeks it would be gathering an extra 4 * 10 = 40 souls per hour, 50/hour in total.)
If I understand this correctly, then the most that any square should be able to generate is 30 souls/hour for the third week of the tourney. Some squares are now generating over 30 (up to 40) souls/hour. Is there a bug in how the modifiers are applied? Of course, I could simply be mistaken (as is most often the case).

You are only eligible to receive the reward on the square that you participated in some form of combat on.

I hope it was just worded weird. Some players do the attacking while others defend but all contribute to the end result.

Hold on. Only defense? So attacking and killing troops off it so others to hold it doesn't count? Or did you just word that weirdly? |
I did a double-take on reading SC's comment, but I think it was intended only to clarify defending, and does not exclude attacking.
