Re: [Arianne-general] Gladiators ideas

[<Rag...@we...>]

Miguel,

SHOP:

yes, we definitely need a shop.

I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to have a "walkaround" *now*, because in the end it's the "school", that is, the player, buying the equipment.

That can happen later, when we have the "trainer"-concept going, that is, the school keeps one of it's own Gladiators as a Trainer. But we aren't there, there are other things to do first.

Except, if you hand out models for the "owners" of the "school", which are *not* to fight in the Arena for now. (For *now*, we'll add that later, if you submit :-)

MANUAL:

At the moment, I'm frantically re-writing the Manual, as I promised ... :) ... which should include what is now, and what should be soon. A first structure-only-version will appear tonight (at around midnight).

M$-ACCESS Pre-Version

Oh, yes, the "version" in M$-Access I've been working on. Seems I'm a poor programmer. I got the data-Model working, some intro-screen, and quite a complicated character-sheet. But not more.
To be honest, I'd prefer going on like we do now: I keep on writing and suggesting, and you implement what you like most first. I really don't like the programming-part too much.
Your motivation is my foremost, as this ensures progress and quality most (as is shown by the result, which I really like so far), so this may yield the best results.

WEB PAGE

Fine. Just fine. Just keep it developing like this. The only thing missing is my manual... O:)

OPTICS OF THE GAME

Nice to see the Colliseum has appeared, and yeah, it looks as I thought! :-)
... and besides, it does it's job.

Ok, now for some "suggestion"... :-)

A throne at the head of the Colloseum, with enough place around it for four NPCs (two body-guards and some "friends" of the Imperator... later why), place for two guards before the Imperator, that would be keeping a Gladiator in check between them (again: Later I'll say why).

A Stair that leads up to the throne, made up from two parts, separated by a platform, on which two other guards have space left and rigth of the stairs.

I'll draw an image, scan, zip and send it to you directly (hotmail) tonight.

The lower part should end at the Arena (again, wait for my scan), blocked by doors, so that Gladiators can approach the throne only when the Imperator is willing to.

Left and right of the stairs we need plattforms that are not accessible form the Arena or the stairs, which are place for Archers.

And yes, we need new models (be creative about the looks! Needn't look like Romans... :-)

- The Imperator (perhaps an Imperatrix perhaps as well, for the politically correct).

- one or two hooded shady types (the "friends" of the Imperator)

- two bullying body-guards (can look alike, but two different are more fun, of course): Proud and menacing.

- a stair-guard, which *must* have spear and shield - ordinary soldier-type

- an archer. Pretty ordinary soldier-style. (Yes, I know, we need *real* combat-sim-rules. I'll introduce a sketch of these in the Manual).

What's your opinion?
