Tourney idea

Only one question: what would happen when I have reinforced a square occupied by the kings forces and another player arrives to occupy? Will we defend the armies of king Sigurd together or will our armies clash?

The armies would fight, who is to say these armies arriving arent devoted assassins dressed as regular footsoldiers sent to kill the armies you are defending? Thats a chance you cant take 

Some "easy" solutions:
At the species level (ranking for a certain species): base the results by kills (in number or total xp, should be relatively similar), not by drops.
Overall ranking: base the results in the difficulty to kill rather than the xp (that shows a low correlation between xp and defense for all species together). Difficulty to kill could be, for example, measured as the sum or average of defense stats for a certain species group (troop, e.g., pups, rabid hounds).
Diversity ranking: not sure which one used the devs last time. One like H-index or i-10 index look simple and "fair".

Yeah - I'm saying that these are issues which could be fixed by:

1) Scale XP directly with atk/def stats
2) Adjust skins etc. drop rate based on XP and total number of animals active in the world.

My only issue with the hunting tourney was that success was heavily dependent on geographical location since some animals are easier to kill than others, even when weighted by XP and item drops and they have different avg group sizes.

What about a hunting tournament? There was already one a lot of time ago, and it was fun.
