I have a question about the deathmatches that occur every now and then. I sent a dusk elder into th first one which he subsequently won. Ever since, he has been automaticaly sent back whenever a new deathmatch occurs. Thus far he has won every time. My question is, am I supposed to be getting a reward for remaining champion?

I haven't recieved a prize since the first event (and even then it was a cursed trident). Do you only get the prize if you defeat the champion? Is the only prize that crumby cursed trident that gets passed on to each new champ?
It's supposed to be a wandering trophy, like a those ugly buckets passed around in sport circuits, so since he keeps winning he just keeps the trophy. The champ has to defend his title. The arena has allways generated a suprising amount of complaints and suggestions compared to how small part it plays in the overall scheme of the game.
But i love the arena combat!
It's the best place to cast Curse, Seven Years Fever and Horror Mark! When i play an Astral nation i alwasy script the combatant to cast Curse and/or Horror Mark if he can cast those spells.

Its also a good place to get blinded by Machaka (they start with that spell). Particularly bad idea is to send 500 gold worth Niefelheim Prophet and get blinded first turn by Machakan Sorceress. Talk about OUCH.
