Enemy armies faced in Tournament Battles will now always come to the battlefield with 5 Squads, instead of having alternating numbers of Squads as opponents.Below, you can see how difficulty increases with each Tournament Encounter played: At the same time, the entry into the Tournaments is made significantly easier than for any previous Tournaments ever since the implementation of the feature. Enemy unit types for each Tournament Province are selected at random, with different weighting based on Tournament type.This should enable for easier assessments of battle difficulty and subsequently which player units should be selected to counter and defeat the enemy.
Tournament Bonus Chests are added to provide a new challenge for any Fellowship that previously managed to finish 10 Chests in the weekly Tournaments.This means that, while it is possible for each enemy unit type to appear during any Tournament, there are higher probabilities for specific units to appear than for others, allowing for some preparations, but still bringing a challenge by throwing further unit types into the mix.
Each Bonus Chest contains 1x Royal Restoration and 1x Ancient Knowledge 10.Upon having completed the 10th Tournament Chest, a new set of 9 additional and very challenging Chests is unlocked, allowing Fellowships to progress further and to grab some additional rewards as they do. The contents are rewarded along with the contents of all other regular Chests at the end of each Tournament.
