I haven't ever seen anyone playing with domstreight of 3 in MP game.

Still, there could be lesser dominion loss if your champion kills at least 1 opponent, and no dominion loss if he kills 3 opponents. It would make sense to send your best if you are on the edge of death by domkill.

And if you do not send anyone you suffer even greater dominion penalty, it would make people at least send some chaff, so champions of other nations for whom loss of dominion is critical, or rasing of a dominion is important could compete with.

I like the idea, although I too think that's far to much.
Even with a domstrength of 8 maybe half your provinces have less than 3 candles.

So the desire not to loose your dominion would force you to send a better combatant. In most important areas loss of 3 candles would be recovered fast, but still if it is too much it could be 2±1 depending on random as everything else in Dominions.

I definitely agree the arena death match should be improved. The arena death match is a very interesting and creative idea, unfortunately the prize is not worth the life of a good commander. Several suggestions have been made in the past such as a gem reward based on current game turn, but nothing has ever changed.
We'll have to wait for Dominions_4.

I'm playing with the idea of setting up a new game in which arena gets more emphasis. Is there a way to call a death match - say - every 10 turns?
