Unarmed derpiness seems to be ineffective. Ah well. Fight a Jaguar.
Unarmed stuff tends to be surprisingly effective against unarmoured opponents. Problem is, the other gladiators have armour, which punches had a very hard time getting through.

Yeah. One on one, player controlled, I'd stand a pretty good chance against some people.
Remove weapon, maybe stab them with it, remove armor, beat them to bloody pulp.

Train to Maceman 3 for 30 urists, and save the last seven.

Also, I'm so happy I'm with flint. I have a chance of winning now :)

Well, now that you're in the final four, you're guaranteed to win something. The prize fund will probably be around 900 to 1000, so even if you lose your next two fights you'll still win at least 50.

Is that 900-1000 split between the two victors, or is per person..?

It's split between the top 4 teams.

The 1st place team members each get 20%, the 2nd place team members each get 15%, the 3rd place team members each get 10%, the 4th place team members each get 5%.

Hm. I think you missed my last post. Sodel should have purchased Swordsdwarf 3 and Dodger 2 and sold his training sword prior to that fight. Oh well. We'll go ahead and do that this time and save the remainder.

Fekod will buy a pair of copper high boots, sell his buckler, buy a copper shield, buy the next level of macedwarf and buy the next level of armor user.

I believe that what I detect is a typo- you have team 6 listed as fighting team 4, and seem to have left out team 8.  Also, I don't think my/our winnings were updated.

No worries, though. :)

On the premise that I have 130 Urists, upgrade Dodge to Talented (-60) and Swordsman to Adept (-70)

I think I shall take on a wolf next. Nice to have beaten a Jaguar for once, tho ^^

By the by, if a leather's more valuable, does that mean it is stronger?

Shooting something made of a semi hard metal with no organs is a fucking stupid idea anyway.

So, I perceive what I see as a bit of a problem in the near future...

The objective of the game is to become Arena Champion, which is accomplished by defeating all of the Arena Lords. In order to become Arena Champion, one needs to upgrade skills, gear, and pets, which is a matter of Urists. It seems to me that the best way to earn Urists is through single matches, which at this point of the game appear easier and more efficient than participating in the tournaments...

Thus, at the rate we are going, I see the more developed players dropping out of the tournaments and just farming bulls in a race to the top, rather than pitting themselves in direct competition with other players (which is, in my opinion, much more challenging, interesting and exciting), and those who do opt for the competition inevitably falling behind the "power gamers."


I'll play either way, but I felt I should give that observation.

I agree. Tournaments for the Tournament god. Prize winnings for the prize winnings throne.

I had seen that too.

I also see how if players get ahead, those that are behind have very little hope of ever catching up too. I get the idea of rewarding those that play well (and get a bit of early luck :P) but maybe you could add an incentive or hope for those behind by keeping tournaments the way they are, but reinstating how you have to win one (possibly getting second too) to challenge an arena lord. This would allow players that are behind to skip a tournament to try and catch up whilst those ahead try to advance. (idea being prestige and being noticed will allow you to face the arena lords)

Just a thought anyways.
