I've been having a lot of fun playing the tournaments in game and I like that each civilization has a simply different kind of tournament but I think there's a lot more variety that could be added to the tournaments using nothing but existing game mechanics.
So here's a simple list of tournaments i'd like to see:
So here's a simple list of tournaments i'd like to see:
- Horse/Camel racing: Popular in the Empire/Aserai. Bring your own horse/camel, race around the track against your opponents. First to x laps gets the round.
- Archery contest: Popular in Battania. Not just a contest of hitting the bullseye but also how far you shoot from. Total score of 3 shots per round.
- Spear throwing contest: Popular in Sturgia. Who can throw a spear the farthest.
- Rock tossing contest: Popular in Battanian villages. Throw one of the heavy siege rocks as far as you can.
- Mounted archery contest: Popular among the Khuzait. Shoot a series of archery targets at full speed on a horse. The more hits you get the more points.
- Jousting: Popular in Vlandia: Use a lance to knock off your opponent from his horse. Only couched hits count. Many rounds tournament style.
- Brawl: Popular in the backstreets of every city and town. Fist fight one on one through rounds of opponents in a small indoor or back street arena.
- Foot race: Popular in every village. Race other villagers by foot to the other side of town.
- Hide and seek: Popular with children everywhere. Really just a quest. Just go find them, no helpful markers. Once you find them all, get some good relations in town and a 5 coins.
- Various awards for workshops that bring in the most money in their particular type of warehouse in Calradia.
- Low level gambling in the back alleys. Playing simple dice games or betting on fights, races, etc.
- Single combat duel tournaments.
- Challenge duel: Challenge a lord who hates you. Winner gets the losers renown.
Along the same lines inevitably it'd be nice to have other kinds of contest. I don't think the game supports what it takes to do them yet but someday I hope to see these kinds of contests too:
- Dances/Balls.
- A smithing contest.
- Swimming contest.
- Fishing contest in villages.
- A hunt with you and your closest friends. Bring a dog to help find the prey. Beware bears, lions, and wolves.
- Bird hunting. Bring your hawk or falcon to harass your prey and make them easier targets.
- 'Fashion/popularity contest' Most well liked/dressed at the party gets an honour.
- High art betting. Gain renown for out bidding your opponents on prestigious art. Don't push too hard though or you might find yourself paying for more than it's worth.
- Horsebreeding contests.
- Instrument playing.
- Poetry contest. Pick your lines wisely based on what you know of your audience.
- Cooking. All these ingredients might as well add it as a cute skill.
