Improving the Arena Death Match event

[Catquiet]

In addition to improving the prize, you could attack the problem from another direction as well.

1. Each nation can choose a National Champion the same way they choose a Prophet. The Champions get Standard (+10), Recuperation, and Sacred. All National Champions must fight whenever the Arena event comes up.

2. All fighters entering the Arena auto-berserk (+1)

3. Prize is a Cursed misc. object Heart of a Champion that gives 30 morale and 5 reinvigoration.

Hopefully the developers can give us a clue if the prize will be enhanced for the Arena Death Match event in the next patch.

Right now it's not worth risking the life of a good commander for the prize.

Should I take the lack of reply to my idea as a sign that people aren't interested?

Gateway: I personally think your idea is cool. I like little extras like that .

Your idea would be nice and sounds interesting too... but I believe it would be more difficult to program into the game.


Certainly the arena death match event needs something more then that one trident and slice of experience.

I know another patch is being developed... and it may be the Last patch so I'm bumping this topic.


Even a simple reward for winning the death match like 200 gold and +2 for each gem type would greatly encourage every human player to send someone.

While I agree with Saber Cherry in that you should always send someone, just in case the comps (in all their mechanic glory) all send Eunuchs, friars, those dismounted undead kings, and scouts, I find it unprofitable to have someone prepped in case there's ever an arena match. I once bought a Lord Warden and had him train for years at a site just to never see the arena event again. I've just wasted a turn where I could build a witch and get extra research.

It'd be cool if you learn about the deathmatch 2 turns before it happens.
