Knights, Archers, Swords, Spears, cities with walls, scavenging battle fields, no central government, warring city states..... Of course it is!

medieval tournaments, of course, were not "king of the hill" affairs; one may as well think of them involving only commanders, and that might not be a terrible idea for a tournament. but please don't advocate for ignoring distance based on "medieval realism". that's just silly.

It is, however, played predominantly by people in their Middle Ages.

. . . and not to sound pedantic, but Illyriad isn't a medieval society.

Did you just call me scumbag? ![]()
Nice try! ![]()
Yasss, let's resurrect the troops just like the medieval alchemists resurrected knights after they were killed in the tourney! Oh wait... In fact participants in medieval tourneys frequently died in the event or shortly after due to non-existence of antibiotics and ICUs. To think that jousting knights wouldn't risk major bone fractures and/or internal organ damage is outright naive. |

Illyriad is a medieval society. In medieval Earth, war was frequent. In fact medieval princes were scumbags, the biggest scumbags in their areas, extracting money for 'protection'. So its only right that war in Illy would be waged by similar types.
What is different in Illy is not the war, its the tournaments. Medieval tournaments were played on level fields and the players did not generally die. So in stead of contemplating silly changes to the rules of war, let's change the rules of tournaments. 1. Let's take distance out of the equation. During tournaments, when you send troops at a tourney square, let the army appear from the direction of the town, but 80 squares out. Everyone has the same distance to the target and a 'level' playing field is achieved. Make sure there is an equal spread of the 5 terrain types and throw in some jungle, desert and ice as well. When you leave the square your army is instantly at home. Advantage is that all squares come into play for every alliance and players who play morning/evening can have two sends in a day - in the last tournament some of my guys traveled 9 days to hit a square. 2. When the tourney is over, all troops get resurrected in their home town. Play with virtual virtual soldiers rather than virtual ones! This more accurately mimics medieval tournaments and would increase the level of participation in tournaments AND the number of wars - at the end of a tournament, people would have too many troops because of the ones they rush built during the tournament. 'Locals' would still have the advantage of diplo visibility and the ability to harvest more easily.
