Gladiators

Gladiatorial Combat is an arena scenario built around organised fights. Gladiators compete while the emperor and praetorians have their own roles. Follow the announced match arrangements rather than treating every person in the arena as an immediate opponent.

Before a fight

• Read your role and the organiser's instructions: who is fighting, where the fight takes place and when it begins.
• Check your assigned equipment and learn its controls in the Weapons Guide.
• Wait until your bout is called and the relevant arena barriers open.
• Keep spectators and other bouts out of your fight. Follow the announced conditions for ending it.

Between bouts

Report injuries and equipment problems before the next match. Use the Medical Guide when helping another fighter. For organised arena events, read the Events Guide; the announcement sets participation and match arrangements.

See the Gladiators map page for the scenario overview.
