In reality the games I play don't Last much longer than 60+ turns. It's a rare game that Lasts beyond this, even in MP.

So the most I usually see this event is 2 or 3 times. At each stage in the game, that the trident is availiable there is always a reason for someone in my army to have that trident and experiance and possible ousting of someone out of the HoF.

It must just be my 'non SP' mentality as far as the event. While I enjoy them, I don't want the event to have such a dramatic impact on the game in multiple ways. It's enough for me that whoever wins gets unit enhancements as such.

Though it may be that you could upgrade the Trident as the tourny progresses. Have it gain a "On Hit" ability as the game progresses. I wouldn't mind the top end Trident having Life Drain. I'm sure someone would throw good units at the opportunity to have a Quickness, Lifedraining weapon especially late in the game.
