Thread: New Building, Pre-Arena

    Default New Building, Pre-Arena

    I personally think there should be a building before the arena that allows gladiatorial games to be held, with much lower rewards than a Arena would give....even in cities without a "proper" arena there would still be gladiator matches wouldn't there?

    Not without the facilities and infrastructure to support them, there wouldn't. Has someone been watching the Spartacus TV series, by any chance?

    well actually yes i have been, but i was under the influence that the early games started in the 3rd century BC, and it was most prominent during the 1st century CE....in this game theres been cases in Italy where i havent built a Arena till the 1st century BC and i feel like 200 years people all over Italy would of adopted gladiatorial games regardless of having a true "Arena"

    also finale of spartacus was pretty damn cool

    Stainless Steel for M2TW Kingdoms doesn't have an Ash Williams unit that fires shotguns and has a chainsaw for a hand because people really like Army of Darkness.

    All I'm sayin

    Who wouldn't?


    In any case, not every place would want nor could support gladiator games.
    Things I trust more than American conservatives:

    Drinks from Bill Cosby, Flint Michigan tap water, Plane rides from Al Qaeda, Anything on the menu at Chipotle, Medical procedures from Mengele

    I wonder how the new episode is going to look. Now they have to search new enemies for Spartacus.

    That will be Crassus and Caesar.

    And by the way, if were going to use Spartacus as a historical guideline, there would indeed be a kind of pre arena.
    You know the shady places somewhere in the lupanarium district, where they fight in this small sandbox divided from the onlookers only by wooden banisters.
    "The only question that remained was whether the founders knew the final result of their creation, or if they themselves where the victims of a misunderstanding.
    In the latter case it was the duty of any thinking human, to press himself into the front of this depraved movement, to perhaps still prevent the extreme, in the former case the founders of this peoples disease must have been true devils; for only in the brain of a monster - not of a human - could the plan for an organisation take meaningfull form, whose purpose must lead toward the end result of a collapse of human culture and thus to the desolation of the world.
    In this case only battle remained as a means of final delivery, battle with any weapons that the human mind, intellect and will are able to comprehend, regardless, of whom fate would gift with it's blessing."
