Ok, crushing 20 teams in Rome Contender battles is not easy. It can be done though, with the right tactics, my guys were up to lvl 52, re-skilled several times. What *is* really disappointing, is the reward a Blacksmith forged from that gold metal I've got for all the effort - just a Gladius worth ~1k game money? You have to be kidding right.. Also - it would be nice to see what level are the contenders - from their hitpoints and skills (each one seemingly mastered 2 branches in skill tree) I'd say lvl ~80? Shouldn't there be significant XP reward for crushing team ~90 levels higher (summed up) then yours?
