I think the existing format, with handicaps (city size and number limitations) for the bigger players works quite well. We just need to make the location relatively equadistant and then I think the playing field is even more level (but you guys did a great job of getting it there in your first run!).

I always said that KP would win the tournament. Yes he had the biggest military army in this tournament. But he also used very good strategical moves as I also stated in a few of my posts:

Altho, as I said before. I still think this tournament will be won by the player with the most experience rather than the person who has the most troops. As you all have noticed, Amorphias attacked G0dsdestroyer without occupying the square. Only because the army he attacked with has high attack power and moves quickly. Its just a matter of time before Amorphias's defence troops will arrive to occupy the spot once his cav did all their work ;-)
It just proves that this tournament DOES work with tactics and its not only a matter of luck.

He won the tournament because he used the best strategical moves. Same goes for duuvian because he also was a player that used very nice strategical moves. I do agree that most of the other players just didn't had the chance to use such moves as a advantage simple because their towns where just too far away. But I have to disagree that KP won the tournament only because he had the biggest troops...

My suggestions for the next tournament are:

- Regional tournaments where players don't have to travel for +3days just to arrive.

- Population based tournaments. Simply to stop the discussion about ''you won because you are bigger'' etc.

I looked at it and you're right. He has more pop in that city than most of the players total pop. I think as a suggestion, what the organizers should balance is total pop. So the big guys can be limited to one city, but make sure that that city is comparable to the pop of the other competitors cities combined...

This is Killers army defending the square right now... His army is bigger than mine and he was closer to the square... I only used two towns in this tournament. Hawaii1 and Hawaii3, both together are smaller than Killers. But for you to say that his pop was much smaller than everyone elses is laughable at best.

the point of the last tourney was a trial run, now we can discuss how we can make it better for the next competitors

let some ideas get  tossed back n forth before rushing into the next tourney, maybe here from player who didnt participate and see what would make them more interested

Well, you could always man up and run one with all the rules you like.  See how that turns out in comparison.  Instead of 'debating' what is best and what doesn't work.

Thats my take on it.

i also think that restricting the size of the players/units should be up to who ever is running the tourney

the travel time issue could be solved as stated before by making the tourney flag a set distance from all participants, though  dont know how the gms would feel about sedtting this up or the problems it may cause them
