Shield bash really needs to be re-addressed. The ability to launch any attack and still have the block up is way overpowered.

removing someones part shouldn't stop killing that guy but should be more fun because you could cut every part of his body

9. For an ememy with two sowrds disable a foot and attack them first. Otherwise for an enemy with a throwable item disable the throwing arm, 2nd priority (because they will have a shield and lower your hit % sometimes). Enemy with two hand weapon, diable a hand first...; 10. Armor Break should be maxed out on a team member with a shield and short weapon (no throw items). 2x cut should be maxed out on one of the other members. Speed Boost and Strength Boost must be maxed out period.

5. Upgrade to equipment with the most defense to begin with, then after 4 cities, go for eqipment that has good defense but buffs Speed Strength or Dexterity...; 6. Play in auto mode! If you can't win in auto mode (until the last city) you researched the wrong thing and/or your team is weak sauce...; 7. Fight until your reputation open a new city, so that you can buy better equipment at the next city...; 8. Manual play the last 5-6 levels of the last city so you don't have to wait for a higher level...; 8. You winning combos through all this will be 2x/4x cut, 2x/4x cut then ArmoreBreak/Power Attack...;

Beat the game at lvl 52. =) ... Strategy: 1. Strength Dex and Speed are the only things you should add point to...; 2. Do NOT research anything in Provocatores, Murmillo or Retariuss: aka no SHEILD BASH, no BOOST MORALE, no THROW...; 3. Hire some slaves asap, and never hire again, just let them level up...; 4. Two team members should use 2x cut and research that shain up to 4x cut, but do NOT waste more than 1 point on BLOOD RAGE. The third teammate should get Power Attack and research that chain up to CRITICAL BOOST. Anything above critical boost is useless...;

Your first battle should be tutorial-ish. Something as simple as having a hover-over tooltip displaying detailed information on each command during the first battle (or even further battles, have it toggle-able in the options) would probably help new players a lot. I know I for one had no idea what the "Row" command was for to begin with, and how exactly "Block" works isn't exactly detailed. Furthermore, any analytic statcruncher like me would like some way of knowing an estimate of how much each attribute attributes towards (such as how good Defense, Strength or Dex are).

The enemy AI is terrible. You can be totally outmatched stat-wise, and still win with ease. The game is still good though, mind you

Best way to make money seems to be grinding low level gladiators bought from the 1st city, up as high as you can stand, and then selling them. Granted I am only up to level 30 so far.

For anyone trying to learn how the stats work, here's vitality:
Equipped an item with +3 Vitality - looks like 1pt of vitality gives
4HP (12) to arms,
5HP (15) to legs,
4.66...HP (14) to head,
6HP (18) to torso.
The armor my characters wear seems to give them 2x the listed bonus for all areas, but I don't yet know why. Anyone know?

I like the game, but i would like to know what do defense increase exactly. Chance to block with a shield only? Because from what it's said, it's only "chance to block", so, for me, that mean with a shield. But it seems that it increase defense from equipment too. Is that right?

whoever wants to know the best way to both add turn damage to ur enemys body halth and disable there attacks my solution is cut off 1 of there legs
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
You should add an extra target;Shield. If i could decide to attack the shuield i wouldn't be blocked, and would be able to shatter it. This would giv me even mor strategic possibilities

There should be a skill added that if your team mate has an leg chopped off, weapon arm cut off, or all together killed that makes your gladiators fight like 7% more aggresive

if you get a black sgreen after choosing your opponent and then get the opponent list up again but can't click on anything, try disabling or removing Microsoft Silverlight. Worked for me.

Having the bots on auto should allow them to use the shield strike once they got their other arm cut off, instead of just spamming the manareg. Would be a nice IA improvement :P
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It would be great if a shield has some shield damage, if your shield blocks an attack it would get 50% of it's real damage to the shield's damage with some good max health dunno in begin 25 shield or something the same for blocking attack for a friend
rate this comment so there will be an update!!! =D

played all the way uop to athena, by now it takes forever to levelup, wich i hate it really takes way to long, and if i click to see the goals in athena the game freezes up, no goalscreen, only black for a few secs than back inside the colloseum and none off the buttons work anymore.
1 pleas let me lvl up faster as a allready am playing opponents 10 lvl higher than my own fighter
2 fix the goals list in athena so i can see what the goals are
3 give me better weapons and armor please, plus it would be nice to earn a bit more on a mach, buying a new slave to fight costs a million by now, armor allready takes away all the earnings......

Unfortunately the more you play the more boring this game gets. I stopped at level 42 after winning the Rome championship. Getting all the awards would simply be a waste of a perfectly good week or so of watching the last one-armed shield bash/regen guy dodge thrown spears over and over till finally a lucky shot does him/her/it in. so, yeah. I never even got to the last skill on a tier and pretty much kicked its ass. Why on earth would you ever need to pay for anything on this game?

How can I start from where I left off? If I click "start" it wants me to start a whole new game, and my previous one seems to be lost.

Salut ! Ne pensez-vous pas que les objets lootables devraient faire partie de ceux portés par les adversaires ??? C'est très frustrant d'obtenir des objets minables après avoir battu des adversaires coriaces !

Suggestions:
1) Balance skills, some are incredibly useful (armor break) and others are near useless as are.
2) Revisit gear bonuses. +hp/mp shouldn't have the same # boost as core stats do.
3) Metal bars need a repeatable way to be earned. It can be time consuming or hard, to keep people buying, but should be possible.
4) Slave prices need fixed or stats and skills need a way be reset, as it is trying different builds is not an option. Also exp for those in school would make leveling a whole team more feasible. 5) +1 to things mentioned about exp bonus for higher mobs, AI fixes/options, graphic options, and blocking/shield durability.
