Recently I’ve been working on an idea for another sports league for our nation. I’ve enjoyed the YLL founded by Ice but there were a few things that I thought could be improved. I was hoping to make a more complex game where coaches could make more decisions during the season and have a greater impact on their teams’ chances. I don’t want this to seem to be a league competing with the YLL, I’m certain that people can be excited and interested by both.
A few months ago a roman emissary approached me at one of the YLL games, he was excited by the tournament and began comparing it with his national sport. Apparently the Romans participate in a blood sport where fighters engage in combat inside a great arena.
The Romans organize their warriors into teams, each team is owned by a rich manager who may train up to 4 gladiators at a time. Teams compete with one another in an organized seasonal schedule, followed by an end of the year tournament to determine the overall best team of gladiators.
In each match the manager selects 3 gladiators for battle no gladiator is allowed to sit more than two matches in a row. Battles last until all gladiators have either been incapacitated or killed. If a gladiator is killed in battle a manager is allowed to select and train a new replacement. Some managers choose to issue fight to the death orders, making their gladiators more likely to kill their opponents, but also more likely to be killed.
Roman gladiators fight with a few different combat styles reflecting the types of soldiers they have encountered in battle. The Yasutanian Gladiatorial League will have 6 different styles of combat. We will also differ from traditional Roman gladiatorial combat, in that there will be mounted units present in the arena.
Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses a wise manager will select a variety of classes. Each class has a bonus 25% attack against 2 other types of units as well as each having an individual special advantage.
Class-------------Strong against--------------Special
Spearman---------Keshiks, Charioteers--------Defense x 2 if being attacked
Axemen-----------Spearmen, Charioteers------Damage x 1.5
Archers-----------Spearmen, Axemen---------Damage multiplied by 80/opponent's speed
Praetorians--------Archers, Axemen-----------2x greater chance of killing
Keshiks------------Archers, Praetorians--------3x speed when outnumbered
Charioteers--------Praetorians, Keshiks--------Damage multiplied by speed/40
Please note I have not run tests on these specials or bonuses, therefore the game will likely be unbalanced, part of the fun is finding out which unit is strongest and how to manipulate it’s stats to best exploit this advantage.
Managers will be rewarded for every unit that is defeated. For each defeated enemy unit they will receive 30 gold, gold can be used for various purposes. It costs 50 gold to buy a replacement gladiator, replacement gladiators start with 120 experience points to be distributed. It will also cost 5 gold to raise any combat stat by one point. Gold can also be traded with other managers. Managers may choose to trade or sell gladiators and may also negotiate other deals subject to the imagination of the managers.
Below is the details of how the combat system will function, the method for selecting engagements is a bit complicated, but the actual fighting part is pretty simple.
Any manager wishing to participate should provide the following information, and should distribute experience points for each of their gladiators, each gladiator will start with 120 experience.
