On an unrelated note, I rather noticed that you receive a negative relationship bonus if you knock out an lord in battle or tournament. I wonder whether, for the tournament cases, one might perhaps include a positive relationship bonus if the player is rendered unconscious by another lord? Or perhaps a relationship bonus if one completes one of the tiers of the tournament with another lord surviving on one's team?
In any case, the bonus ought to be proportional to the round number. So if one is defeated by a lord in the last round, there ought to be a greater bonus than when one is knocked out in the first round. Etcetera, you get the idea; all about making tournaments social events instead of cash-generating ones.
