Ooh. Love the idea!!! I think Illy suffers greatly from NAP/Confed inflation as it is...

I may have miscounted, but I think there are 135 Faction Hubs... That might be too many?

Whats the fun in the top 5-10 splitting the flags?
And I really doubt the top 5-10 can agree on something like that.
I have fast counted the regions and there is around 34. I'm pretty sure that should make room for top 30-40 of the alliances to participate and have a chance for winning a flag.
Or do you want Nameless Knights [NKI] to have a chance also?

Kumo, I was thinking the same. If minor help or resistance are offered by the local factions (based on their standings with the alliance) it will add more excitement and promote lore as Faldrin said before.

Set up squares, scattered across the map, that can only be claimed by any given league: 50 squares for lowest league, reducing to 8 for the highest league.
The big guns will pile into highly-contended squares.
The newbies get to compete with a few neighbours, and can try to stretch themselves to more squares if they feel up to it.
A variant on this would allow players to also compete for squares marked for the next (up) league.

I think you can do away with the whole league altogether by just having many more locations. Enough that the biggest guys can't hope to hold a fraction of them... |
In still pretty sure that Ander's idea is the best that have been in this forum. So I do agree with Kumomoto.
Having a flag in each region will make the tournament so broad hat most alliances should have a chance of keeping a flag if they want to. And if you cant hold a flag you are doing something wrong  |
Until the top 5-10 alliances decide they each want to hold 5 flags and there's not much left for the smaller alliances. Keep in mind that most alliances out of the top 30 or so have less population total than 5 players in the top alliances.
The idea of league play is to give smaller alliances a chance to compete against each other. Because small alliances who happen to be located near large alliances would not have a chance even if flags were allocated by region, because they'd still be competing against massively larger alliances. Or all the small alliances could try to fight for flags in the Wastes and other peripheries of Illy and their troops could spend vastly more time marching than fighting. Not so much fun for them.
This arrangement would actually be advantageous for nCrow because we are relatively geographically concentrated in areas where there is little representation from big alliances. I still think that just adding more flags is not the best idea.
