Hey Hades! Congrats on being the Most Helpful Archon. We had a couple of players try the new team position tournament before our leadership team determined whether or not it made sense for our coalition. At the end, based on the losses incurred, troop rewards and the final "coffer", it was our determination that this latest tournament was horrifically stacked against the player. While I applaud Plarium for trying something new, this specific tournament's style of dropping each unit to its base unit strength, removing guardians, and bonuses should have been offset with greater rewards. There is no incentive to participate, as the special units given as reward are far far far below the strength value of the units lost. The only way to make the tournament salvagable was to use Scythian Riders, but even then, you are giving up their free revive for minimal rewards. I suggest to plarium that they need to either change the reward system or the format, or drop this tournament.
And this is just not my opinion. I have spoken to most of the coalition leaders on our server and all that i have spoken to are in agreement. Everyone is pretty united on this. At least on Server 2.
