The concept of the death match is a great idea, unfortunately it's poorly implemented within Dominions3 since the AI sends their pretenders and the overall "cursed" prize is not worth risking the life of a good unit. If the arena death match was moddable the MP and SP community would quickly fix the problems with how it's currently implemented.
THE RECOMMENDED ILLWINTER FIX
1) The AI should "never" send its pretenders or prophets to the death match because the dominion bonus they provide is too valuable.
2) The Death Match Prize should provide gems and gold based on the current game turn and number of participants. The death match on turn_85 with 8 participants should provide a greater reward than a death match on turn_10 with 4 participants.
3) The commander/mage which is victorious should receive one or more unique abilities such as immortality or immunity to horrormarks or +3 map movement or something major as a personal reward.
4) The commander/mage which is victorious should not be "cursed" by being forced to attend future death matches. Nothing worse then rewarding someone a "curse" for their victory.
Anytime I see a falling star... my one wish is the arena death match gets fixed.
