Several things I saw missing from Arena suggestions...

Simply put: allow you to put an arbitrary number of z-levels in arena.txt.

I kind of noticed this when I wanted to see how different creatures would react if you tossed them off say, several z-levels.

When you get down to it, you can only make a tower that is 8 z-levels deep; that's enough to kill a goblin (via bleeding to death) but I wanted more! I wanted to see gibs! I wanted to see what'd happen if I dropped a Bronze Colossus down 10 z-levels! Or 15! Or 20! Or any number I'd prefer! :D

I mean, I guess I could do a standard execution tower in DF, but that takes too bloody long.

Speaking of too bloody long... would it be possible for us to, say, speed up or slow down time in Arena mode as well? There are certain questions I'd like answered on that regard, as well...

On the subject of speed, IIRC you can advance time one tick at a time with the . key similar to fort mode.

Oh yeah, you can do that. I was wondering if you could speed time up as well.
