Obviously the numbers might need to be adjusted. I think with this system it won't be as bad if you get unlucky, and there won't be stockpiling cause there's maximum mana.

Minor problem with the system. Given how fast mana founts were destroyed in the playtest, it will be more profitable in the long run for people to coordinate their founts with the first person they meet. Specifically, build a fount, other guy destroys it and builds another, which the first guy then destroys. Rinse and repeat for each fount that day. You just gained 200 Mana from founts in one day when it would have taken 2 days normally, and founts probably will last only 1 or 2 days, 3 tops.

I'm still thinking of ways to reward fighting over escaping in a way that won't harm Assassin and Rider, although such a feature doesn't seem that necessary to me now that I've had more time to think

Since it doesn't seem necessary to you now, this statement is probably useless, but... why not reward Assassin and Rider differently from the rest? Tailor the reward system to how the champ is supposed to be played, and all that.

Current situation on the classes: Assassinate is changed to 30d6 with Dastardly Finish banned, Berserker loses its extra feats but gains Mad Enhancement with a flat +6 to STR/CON and +3 to Will, Knight gains AC bonuses, nothing to the Rider (will leave Rider changes to future hosts).

Will Berserker keep the D12 Hit Dice? And has he been changed to Barbarian, then?
