I don't really like any of your suggestions. For me Dominions is primarily a multiplayer wargame, the arena contest is fun but I can ignore it if I want, and I want it to remain so.

I agree with Något Gick Fel on this one. The arena is just intended as an amusing detail. Making the arena victory more rewarding or penalising people not participating would shift focus away from the core of the game, if either of the above where implemented it would force players into maximising a super combatant. I think it is better to keep it the way it is.

The problem is that it's not that amusing except the first fight ... The reward is not worth the risk taken by sending a real good commander.
So in SP you either pass on it or abuse it to screw AI pretender/prophet
In MP players either pass or send crap commanders...

Just putting more varied and valuable stuff as reward would make it much more "fun" without it becoming a real focus.
