Tournaments

[Gorgeous_Joe]

Two part question I suppose.

Are tournaments just pure RNG?

and

What stats matter in which competition?

Thanks

I have to assume its prowess for most of them, but tournaments can also have poetry battles the medevil equivalent of rap battles.

It also takes into account the different choice options like if you decide to cheat or not.

That being said rng has to be a part of it as well. My current run since I have hit most achievements i wanted, I'm doing an almost 100 stat man start, and he never loses any type of fight or prowess contest even at the ripe age of 110. Hes currently 120 not really sure when hes gonna die.

Pretty sure tournaments weigh various factors of competitors (such as stats). As far as which matter...

I believe Prowess (and possibly Martial) for contests of arms, Learning and possibly Intrigue for games, and Diplomacy for poetry contests.

Each tournament can have up to I think 5 events. The events can be from a selection of like 10 or so different things like chess, wrestling, jousting. They all differ AND in most, you have choices like selection 1 uses diplomacy/martial 2 uses prowess/learning OR wutever.

Tournaments are useful to upgrade all kinds of stuff (at random) at the smith tent.
Tournament wins get you a very nice purple prize that can be for any slot such as a weapon, armor, helm, regalia, etc. You get a Prize PER event won. So, 5 events, 5 wins, 5 prizes.

If I am not busy, I usually opt for attending a hunt, and occasionally a tournament. DO NOT feel like you have to goto every single event. ITS designed to suck your life.
