Tournament Play Enhancements 1.5
This is not a stand alone mod, but a source kit for replacing the native tournament system. Nearly every aspect of the standard tournament system has been reworked to allow as much player customization as possible. The instructions for installing this modmerger kit, latest version included, are contained within the download.
Note: You will need the modmerger system in order to install this.

With this mod installed, players can choose...:
  • ...exactly which weapons they want to use in a given tournament. You will have 3 choices to be spread across weapons and special enhancement options.
  • ...the number of teams, their size and which team they wish to be on in a match.
  • ...which weapon options their companions use.
  • ...whether their companions join tournaments at all.
  • ...a persistent bet that will remain in effect, as long as it can be covered, until the player decides to change it. No more selecting your bet every round.
  • ...the type of weapons used, their appearance (javelin vs. throwing axe) and their frequency in every town.
  • ...to show an in combat display listing the top performers of the round as well as team performance and remaining members.
  • ...to enable level scaling which will keep tournaments nearly as difficult at level 25 as they were at level 1. This is off by default.


With this mod installed, players receive...:
  • ...a renown reward for winning that scales with your current renown and level.
  • ...greater interest from lords and ladies in attendance based upon your relationship with them, their personality and your success.
  • ...greater experience and monetary rewards due to the larger challenge.
  • ...item prizes for winning if enabled. This is disabled by default.
  • ...the results of their bet each round based on if their team wins or not.
  • ...a final cash reward based upon cumulative difficulty settings in each round that was won.


With this mod installed, tournaments...:
  • ...will prove significantly more difficult geared more towards middle to late game play.
  • ...more dynamic use of melee and ranged weapons by the AI.
  • ...no longer eliminate players based upon being defeated in a round. Now you will survive until the tournament is complete.
  • ...will be scored based upon performance (defeating opponents, surviving the round, best scoring team) instead of simply being the last man standing.
  • ...will be won by the participant with the highest final score, but rewards are also given to a lesser extent to the second and third place finalists.
  • ...will be directed to a post combat ranking display between rounds showing who the player is performing.
  • ...will finish with a new final presentation showing the top three winners.
  • ...will have uniquely named participants. No more sword sisters and veteran fighters in the arena with you.
