That Torshavn battle report was much better than my one I posted earlier, despite me using more suitable troops. Think the answer lies in that his margin of victory was much smaller than mine - hence a much greater proportion of the total casualties received was laid onto his crimson dawn reinforcements. Seems kinda strange that the best ratios of losses were achievable with the smallest margin of victory.... guess this is another thing we know and love about the Illy combat system. (what's a sarcasm??)

Thanks Creature! I knew I was not using the most suitable troop from a cost-effective point of view. But I wanted them to be fast (so no range ones) and I also had to build them so I was looking for more defense per time of production (so t2 before t1).

FYI - the underlying type for the battle square was plains so your Cav had a terrain bonus which probably helped.

I know, I was doing some maths before ;) With the terrain bonus, t2 cavs were a bit better deffensively than t2 ranged. But comparing the defense value per cost of production (or upkeep), t2 ranged are better

I don't have at hand attackers attributes, but if attackers were mainly cavalry then T2 cavs on plain would be a little better than T2 ranged even considering the upkeep. Anyway, those battle's results are interesting to analyze.

As a newbie to the game and someone who was only peripherally involved in the tourney I am gathering that the grand finale of it involved having to move troops extremely quickly or to have left them in place previously.
Therefore it seems to me that the ending was skewed to reward players who had either just left troops on a stone and may not have even been on line, or those whose geographical placement was sufficiently close to be able to get to a stone on time.
Whichever way it went it seems unfair to those players who put time and effort in for a month but were unlucky enough to not be on line at 6am for 30 mins or who didn't have stones right next door.
Perhaps some mention in the tournament rankings of those players who were in the top five of their respective leagues until the finale might go some way to congratulate those players for all their hard work, without detracting from the players who did succeed in the finale?
And congratulations to those that did of course
