I cannot seem to change the edit the arena text without viciously deforming it. If anyone technically superior to myself wishes to widen the bridges for vertigo and water hazard be my guest. If not I'll look into it tomorrow.

And it seems that we are at twelve competitors, excellent. This is growing faster than anticipated!

I think that if you cant change the maps then thats fine :D

As long as its not the same map everytime it'll still be awesome!

Do note that it's impossible to get a quiver in the arena, so a ranged character will only have one hand to hold the bow and have to hold his ammunition in the other. Unless there's some workaround I'm not aware of taking an archer is a hell of a gamble.

It is possible to make custom arena maps, but it involves changing certain text in a text file that is a big jumble of characters, possible but far from ideal.

Maybe the bows were meant for melee?

Gotta say, I love Plump Helmet Men! I'll check on how the gladiator reacts to holding two bows and bolts. Are those crossbows or normal bows?

Yes, that's been possible for as long as the arena has existed

Hey, do you happen to know of an -easy- way to edit the arena. As it is hard for me to find exactly the places I am looking for in the text file.

Oh, and when the creature wields two bows they will drop either the arrows they are holding or one of the bows. So you may want to rethink your build Wheelo!

I'd like to start the event shortly after having a sufficient amount of gladiators. This being either 16 or 32 depending on how many people we actually get to arrive. I'm leaning towards sixteen, any input?

And I suppose exhibition matches could be fun, how would you want them set up?
