Arenas
« on: October 22, 2022, 06:27:26 pm »

A new area type, for fortress mode. Arenas!

Build a large elaborate arena, to attract foreign gladiators to fight in the pits!
(foreigner visitors should come to fight in the pits)

So that players can follow the combat, custom recorded logs for things that fight while inside the arena area.
(it's easy to bury the combat logs, these would be taken as a separate notes)

to feed the arena, there could be moving floor tiles that move the gladiators from the back room to the surface of the arena
(moving fortress parts, walls/floors that raise up a level, including any beast or dwarf standing on them)

stands for the crowds, and some way to keep beasts out of the stands, like see-through glass.
(see-through glass, so dwarves can get thoughts)

Additional locations: Marketplace, Gymnasium, Studio, Arena, Gardens
Arena designation
Arenas and brawls
Arena and Gambling
Gladiatorial Arena
Designate: Arena
Arena/Zoo zone

It's also Bloat233 and part of The Mighty Savager.  But it's fine to post ideas again within reason.  As far as checking dev stuff, it's easiest to use The Consolidated Development Page and do a text search.  If it's not there, you can try the forum posts, but there are a lot of them so that's harder to do.
