It's cool that you can select the weapons you want to use in the tournament, but seriously, that arena sucks IMO. Now I'm even poorer than when I had nothing. Anyway, I've lost my army again to an army of deserters. And I don't see why anybody would lend thousands of denars to the first idiot who comes by.
Is the only way to do anything to get yourself a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of loans and mercs so you can do ANYTHING at all? That doesn't sound like 'rags to riches' to me anymore. Then you get to the unexplainable absence of low level bandits and getting your face smashed in by forest bandits/sea raider/deserters/steppe bandits/whatever again, and again, and again.
