I agree heartily to the above suggestions.

What we also need: Place Building. Free siege engines, traps, walls, and fortifications. It would also make it so much easier to practice epic deathtraps, dwarven computing, etc., though that isn't the  central point.

i shall create thousands of elven children vs a hfs.

It only lets you place adults, from the look of it.

can you inport adventures stat and gear?

If by "inport" you mean change a creature's skill levels and gear up dwarves/goblins/elves/kobolds, I'm pretty sure you can.

Yeah, you can do that, but you can't import them directly.  I don't think you can customize names either.

We need to be able to save arena mode instances as their own save files too!

Those will probably both get implemented later on:

I think this kind of got answered in the devlog, but can you create a specific type of arena, say  forested arena or one made out of ice or even almost completely aquatic and save that type? I know a forested arena would be mainly aescetic, but if you are testing a critter which has so much layering that they would die of overheating when outside an arctic climate, you'll probably want to make the arena an arctic climate.

Ah, nah, you can't do anything like that.  The arena mode will only grow in power though, and should eventually support buildings and other things like temperature control (which I thought I'd get to but didn't), as well as some save/load capability for maps.  Right now, it is very bare.

@Footkerchief: Awesome.

Also, this has sort of become a "Arena Suggestions" thread.

Can you control special abilities? I'd love to play as a dragon vs an army of elves to see how many I can scorch before I get killed.

[Itnetlolor]

I can imagine playing a game of DF Archon using this function. That can get pretty interesting.

Arena mode will only get better as more features are added to it, and as mods are created.

Massive Warhammer or Legendary Lands battles anyone?

See how many goblins it takes to bring down a Freezing Wind! (Thousands??)

When we will be able to customize our arenas???
When it happens I will try to reproduce my favorite rpgs' boss battles.

[Deon]

In later versions. I am 100% sure there's no better answer .

Urist McWrestler vs .... SEPHIROTH!

[Deon]

Vs Sephiroth Hair... Who fails to rob people and break their bones... Probably he's a mailman's offspring and Cpt.Awesome is infertile .

{Loads of information}

Somtimes I think Footkerchief is Toady incognito.

[warhammer651]

hmmmm.....

can we place terrain other than water or magma?

Can we import the terrain from one of our forts and have the battle occur there?

Imagine: the war for headshoots

Or he careully follows devlogs and Toady's posts as do I, but he seems to be much more willing to share .

[wehll]

How exactly is arena mode enabled?

[Diablous]

It will be in the init in the next version.
