why not add a likeness Coliseum? is the place where warriors battle not only with themselves to death (or not :)), but also caught enemies and animals.also need to take care of about the places for the spectators, because of the fight, they will be raised the mood ...

Um...players can sort of already build this.  Really skilled and patient players. 

Please let this not be a spambot...

Yes, but the dwarves not rising the mood, they just escape from the enemy. I personally think that this construction would be very good since she kills two rabbits one shoot: Improves mood of dwarves, increase experience forces, not only the long-range forces ...

One of the most suggested ideas around here, and also planned already ;)

While the topic's here... how could this be implemented? Would it be better as a room or a zone?
I vote zone, it allows more freedom and arenas don't really require a specific kind of furniture.

I vote a room, defined by spectator seats. If no one watches its just an execution.
come to think of it you could also define this from a chain, where your prisoners are. perhaps if we had more versatile chains it could work. by which i mean chaining people together,  or making someone drag a chain and ball behind them to discourage escape attempts. Or even something like chain or rope ladders.
Wow, im really off topic. ill end this post now.

The spectator seats bit makes sense. Would they be chairs or a different thing?

I'd say it's best to merge room and zone designation eventually.

This sounds interesting...
Maybe someday, yes...

For now, I think a zone designation similar to a hospital (oh the irony) would work best. I'm not sure that you can extend a zone into multiple z levels though, so at the moment you'd need either trenches or fortifications to actually let dwarves watch the show safely.

A military dwarf who is not busy or a gladiator dwarf could organize an event, similar to the party mechanic. Thrones in the zone would be filled by dwarves when a champion chooses to fight a prisoner or animal. Available targets could be placed in cages inside the zone. The dwarf releases the prisoner or animal, then they fight. For additional fun, traps inside the zone could hit allies as well, to make things more interesting, but that should be toggleable. I imagine not everyone would enjoy that.

Thoughts?
