Has Deathmatch changed in Dom 3?

[Ballbarian]

A quote from thejeff in a Dom2 thread:

An interesting approach might be for the prize to get more powerful with each match a champion wins.

As an alternative to the trident itself changing properties, what if your nation received a random magic trinket and a small cash prize that increased slightly each time you won a tournament in addition to the champion's trident. Nothing so powerful or valuable to justify Pretender suicide, but enticing enough to encourage participation. I myself usually don't want to restrict my commanders to a two handed weapon, but adding to my treasury and possibly getting a free dwarven hammer would make it more tempting...
