You could make youtube videos of each the arena fights, right?

I honestly would not want to spend a huge amount of time doing that and uploading all of them. Besides, you wouldn't really be able to tell who was who. Just a bunch of little "male" looking sprites and some blood etc. This is just a little fun thing for me to do outside of going to school full-time.

Why would she do that? Her descriptions of the fight would add more excitement, and if it was a video it would only show some letters dancing around a screen with words popping up.
Screenshots are also possible so we know precisely how it's going.

You press PrtSc SysRq and use Ctrl+V in paint. Then you save it and upload it to imgur.com You can then take the forum link there, it's labeled "Messageboards," or whatever, on the left side and press Ctrl+V once more when you're typing a post.

I am finding that writing out the little stories about the battles is difficult, some of the battles last forever with "filler" attacks (dodge, parry, miss, etc.) And even with the attacks that connect I still ended up with one battle being over 1,000 words. Doing that for several battles in a row is not my cup o' tea. I will however post a conclusion (who killed whom) and under a seperate spoiler I will post the battle report for all to enjoy. I tell ya though, dwarves get some insane teeth action going! First battles will be up after school tomorrow. Giving time for more prisoners entertainment warriors to show if they'd like.

You don't have to write out every single blow... Just something like "The combatants traded blows for some time, neither breaching the others defences until, suddenly, the goblin struck out with his sword, severing the elf's head from his shoulders! The crowd went wild!"

I was considering that, just giving the ending in story form basically.

[Hitty40]

Lol, put in hundreds of unarmed dwarves as the crowd. Then make them all hostle to you each other or something.

Btw, why no leather armor and wooden shields? Or copper at all?

Also, after a fight, will you record stat increases to add, or do they reset to what we buy?

I am using metal armor because I only have melee weapons. Copper is a poor metal to make armor from. Stats do not increase for the simple reason that, in testing, I've seen a character get very overpowered very quickly vs a new character. I reset each character each battle and they are reset to what you buy. Thanks for joining!

By 9PM PST the first battles will be up. The "short story" will only be a write up about the final blow. I will post a text log (from DF) of the actual full battle for your reading pleasure.

Edited due to miscalculations on my part.

You actually have 30 AG not 10. Bronze Gauntlets are 35 AG, not 55 AG.
