I don't believe it's possible to give people quivers in arena mode. Your dwarf will be holding the crossbow in one hand and the bolts in the other. It will work fine, but you will not be able to use a shield while doing this.

So including the recently defeated wolf, I assume I have 40☼ to spend. In which case, I'll take 10 for Novice Hammerdwarf, 20 more into Marksdwarf to bring it up to Adequate and I'll invest the last 10 in a copper cap.

I'd also like to be included in both the upcoming melee and the tournament. Also, another wolf fight, please.

EDIT: Just tested a marksdwarf with the bolts in hand in the Arena, and he just dumped all of them except one, fired it and leapt into the fray, crossbow swinging. As such, I'll just sell the other four bolts I have if you have the same issue, ed boy. Gonna concentrate on that first hit with an excellent bolt instead, then get a heavy crossbow for the ensuing brawl.

A question for you, ed boy. Is our success in the match based solely on our gladiators' survival, or is it counted as a victory if our pets defeat the opponent(s) after we have fallen?

Well, let's see... of my 57 Urists, I'll spend 5 on a leather cap, 20 upgrading Dodge to Adequate, and another 30 on a scantily clad Harpy with a rather serious personality, who will gradually settle into her place as the lead female role and develop a romance with Ibid beginning in Episode 12: Gobbledygook!

Then fight a Gorilla.

Fekod will get a rank in dodge, then fight another wolf. He will participate in the melee.

I would like to reiterate that I have two characters, but if you know and allow this:

Adil will get a rank in dodge, then fight a jaguar. He will participate in the melee.
I somehow missed that you have two characters. I am afraid that I'm going to have to ask you to choose between them, as if two characters becomes the norm, I could be running thirty fights in a day which is a bit too much.

I'll buy a point of miner, copper chain leggings, and fight a jaguar again.
I am afraid that you cannot buy any points in miner in arena mode.

How do you decide who fights and who doesn't???
Beastmaster fought twice in a row there (so did a few others), I only noticed him cause he was on the bottom of both lists...
There is nothing wrong with fighting two consecutive days. You can fight as many days as you want, as long as you do not fight more than once on any single day. When running an arena day, I make a list of who requested a fight since the last day, get rid of multiple fights, then run the fights in arena mode and type up the combat log. If your fight has not been run on a day you asked for it, that's entirely my fault for not noticing your post.

A question for you, ed boy. Is our success in the match based solely on our gladiators' survival, or is it counted as a victory if our pets defeat the opponent(s) after we have fallen?
It hasn't been an issue until now, but I'm going to say that it will be based on the gladiator's survival.

EDIT: Just tested a marksdwarf with the bolts in hand in the Arena, and he just dumped all of them except one, fired it and leapt into the fray, crossbow swinging. As such, I'll just sell the other four bolts I have if you have the same issue, ed boy. Gonna concentrate on that first hit with an excellent bolt instead, then get a heavy crossbow for the ensuing brawl.
Did you create five stacks of one bolt, or one stack of five bolts? Every time you open up the menu, it created another stack. Just create one stack and press + to bring it up to five bolts.

The world suddenly makes sense and I feel like an idiot. -_- Suspected you had the same problem considering my gladi killed the wolf with just one shot. Ta much anyways.

Are you sure you want to sell the extra bolts, or would you like to revise what you said in the previous post?

By the way, the first arena lord has been updated. Some of you should think about challenging him soon.

Nah, I won't be selling them if they can be stacked. Sorry, forgot to say that.
