Thanks to all 
Now i can concentrate on the arena tourney again. Still have 2 more games to play with towerlord, trailing 1-0 now 
As for the last game, academy got 3 dragon arties with ring of celerity, and vastly improved their usually miserable stats with +2att/2def, +3 def+5% init to small creatues, +3 att+5% init to big creatures, though i think radar got enlightenment as well which is good for haven there wasn't much arties to boost his stats further.
Yes vitality was so good for academy against might races.
It was more exciting with radar so far as we enjoy the random play, basically we loaded the random races in peninsula and played the matchups in duel map.

Will soon post the non-random version just in case there are people who prefer to pick factions though I suggest you use the random version for the tournament. The matches will not begin for a few more days which should give me enough time for last-moment testing, anyone who wants to jump in there are still available slots.
Edit: 2 more slots to be precise

Oh well, good luck with the exams I'll certainly need some, my exams are getting close.
After seeing one of fiur's replays I realized that what this map is missing is seaside arenas. I covered the battle island with water and now whenever you are standing on the edge you get some scenic backgrounds On that note dark water surrounding the islands is a nice touch.

I doubt we will so I'll create the matchups for 20 and announce in a day or two.
Shortened masterpost for easier navigation. Tournament history moved to a separate post, thanks for the suggestion phoenix 
On that note I also removed ring of machine affinity and returned elemental waistband. The latter was initially removed because I hated getting it as a starting bonus, no reason to keep it out anymore. As for the machine ring I've watched several replays lately and I can safely state that it's cheesy as hell. Maybe if the armies were larger but right now if it shoots 4 flaming arrows before it is destroyed it can turn the game into pathetic turtling. If your faction is might and your strongest shooter goes down you fight an uphill battle. Don't you even mention cold death, as for deflect missile is not guaranteed.
Version 5.4 Random
Version 5.4 Regular
Also disabled town hall, after all it's recommended to end turn for autosave before engaging the opponent I suggest you set Kaspar's starting bonus to resource or gold otherwise one of the players may receive artifact.

Well Deflect Missile is not guaranteed but so is the ring. In my opinion War Machines already waste too many levels, without Flaming Arrows they are a lot worse than taking some other skills.
But that was just IMO of course, I guess you know better. I never got that ring to pop up anyway

Ring is not guaranteed but when you get it a warmachine build usually is A few examples: 14 init dwarven ballista kills 105 crossbowmen with 1 lucky hit out of 4 attacks. Dungeon ballista kills 20 patriarchs with 2 lucky hits. Orc ballista with no luck kills 86 skirmishers.

Why was the "Artefact" option deleted at the beginning ?

Because I couldn't do it otherwise with random factions. 
If people really want that you can just place a random minor artifact for each faction anyway...

Maaah I didn't knew that. Too bad . Those things could really change your game^^. And apart from that the thrill of "oooohh what did I get what did I get pleasepleaseplease not ring of banishment... NOOOOOOOOOU RING OF BANISHMENT" was always hillarious xD. Atleast for me .
EDIT:
Maaah mah veco? Mah mah maaah and I who wanted to advance to the second round xD.
