Where is your gladiator school located?
1. In the centre of Narsis, your hometown and the second largest city in the empire. You will have shorter distances to trade, tournaments and the political intrigue of the city. But it will make it much more expansive to expand your school, and it will also cause trouble if you decide to commit some less that legal actions.
2. In the poorer outskirts of Narsis, your hometown and the second largest city in the empire. Its cheaper to expand and its not to far to the centre of the town. But there will be a lot of shady people in your area, and other schools will have an easier time striking against you without the risk of facing legal repercussions.
3. On the the countryside outside of Narsis, your hometown and the second largest city in the empire. You will have a lot of chances to expand and build a great school and mansion alike. But it takes quite a long time to travel to Narsis. Which might hamper your trade and it will require more planning when your joining a tournament.
