Ok, so it is an intended design, good to know. When I am thinking about it now, it makes sense for elite rewards to them not being tied to the culture of the settlement.
Thanks for the info and your time!
Edit:
@zeytinlikraker, actually there can be one problem here. If there are exacly 4 nobles (including the player) participating in a tournament then the prize is almost always a Husnphree Camel. Is it an intended design or there should be more variety of prizes for a given number of nobles in a tournament?
