cool game and cool multiplayer! thanks!
but:
the amount of time in the very first turn in multiplayer is a bit short. one can't "spy" your opponent in 10 sec. and search for their weak spots. i think the first turn should be 20 sec. it wouldn't make the match longer but one had more opportunities.
secound:
if one cuts a blocking arm, the block is still there till the next turn of the gladiator. (not sure if a bug)
The higher the rank of your enemy compared to yours, the faster you level up.
So if you need money:
go to london, buy 3 new slaves, give them your good stuff, the other gladiators ware and let them fight against high class enemys like the best in carthago. in 2 fights they are over level 10 and you can sell each for more than 10k gold. (don't forget to get your good things back!)
