Tournament Square (Guide) [by Rastus]

This building gives speed increases to troops who are travelling any journey over 30 squares, they have no effect on shorter trips. This makes it useless to build in villages which are used to raid your neighbours or shuffle around reinforcements.

Where a Tournament Square is really needed though is in specialist villages and especially your artillery attack capital. They make a huge difference on the turnaround time for artillery attacks as many of these over long distance.

More critical than turnaround time though, they give your enemy less time to gather reinforcements. Everyones main artillery attack village should eventually invest in a tournament square, especially as you will have already raised your rally point anyhow (Tournament Square prerequisite is Rally Point level 15) to aid your artillery.

In most other villages though, a Tournament Square is of little use.
