Arena Awesomeness
« on: April 13, 2011, 08:09:21 pm »

I made a badger man in the arena. Grand master swordsman, swimmer, armor and shield user, and a few other skills. All-bluestuff gear except for a silver shield.

Tore through normal critters easy, even an elephant. Then a dragon. Then...a bronze colossus.
The giant knocked me (badger man) into some water I'd set up lower down, where I had had some skeletal cave fish men against a carp, a cave crocodile, and a bull shark, all also against a gibbon that someone had previously knocked down there.
I survived all of this, losing one paw only. After a while of hitting the B.C, I got bored and let the arena take its course.
After a bit, the BC had several wounds, but the badger man had healed all of his except the foot.

A bit later, the bronze colossus was fleeing the badger man.

I have had an awesome arena fight.

EDIT: Now they're fighting. Neither can seem to land a blow.
EDITEDIT: The BC strangled the Bm until the latter suffocated.  :'( :'(
It took eight pages of combat,  of the bronze colossus strangling the badgerman's throat and tearing apart the hair.

But what happened to the Gibbon?!

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

At this point it's my firm belief that bronze colossi are invincible in the arena mode against adamantine 90% of the time. Unless  you get lucky or use a tonne of archers.

It got killed by one of the critters before the Badgerman got there.

The only thing I can find that routinely kills bronze colossi is another bronze colossus, and even that takes a while.
