Provacateures are pretty much waste of space. Speed is paramount ability then comes dex and str. Retarius, thraex and dimachaerus is IMO best team combination. Retarius should ignore developing cure, thraex berserk since using them will you lose a round. Anything that improve speed, dex or str should be maxed while improving those abilities. So Thraex shoul be and up with very high dex and dimachaerus should end up with 120+ with both in str and speed by level 40. Retarius can take shiled bash from murmillo after net is maxed out so if throwing arm is disabled you can still strike back. It was easy to win rome even when my opponents were 12 levels abouve me. High speed score makes your guys go first so you maybe can kill/ disbale one of the opponents and net another before they have chance to strike back.

When you've crippled all of the opponents you should be able to auto end the battle. I'm slightly bored of battering the enemies armour whilst waiting for them to bleed out..

pretty bad bug: if you craft something, put it on your gladiator and then reload, the crafted item is gone (together with the craftmaterial) and your old item on the gladiator again -.-

I think there should be more finishing animations. Different for axe, sword, knife, javelin and so on. This would make game bit more fancy;)

its a bit lame that you can hit enemies in a NET in the best case 1 out of 10 (with 120 dexterity ...) in rome contender battles

A game like this ought to be made big. but there are a couple of things that i would like to add. first off... leveling up is a bit of a pain and we only receive 1 ability point. perhps more should be given as its very tedious to keep playing old missions to level painstakingly.Also, thegoals should be updated for tougher goals and better reward system. The game developers might want to look at that. Overall i'd give this game 4.5/5 rating.

Ignore my last comment I was remembering incorectly. I found the missing armor - it was an arm thing not a body thing

The blacksmith made me some really cool armor (Pluto's somethingorother) and I equipped one of my fighters with it, but I left the game and came back later and my fighter was back to her previous armor, and the nice stuff wasn't in my inventory, but the smith was out of metal.

Oh look, I just defeated an enemy with a pilum. What do I loot? A knife! It's like playing a FPS and getting stuck only with a revolver while everyone else has automatic weapons.

Well, the game proved me wrong right after typing my previous comment. It seems like they don't shield bash if they also know Power Attack.

There are serious balance issues...AI spamming shield bash and gets 5 rounds of block. 97% chance of hitting and miss 8 out of 10 times...opponents have too many points in their stats for the levels that they have...I loot garbage most of the time and the stores have crap items too much of the time...just changed my rating to 1/5.

when you click trophies to see your rank and you see the exp bar could you out line the exp bar so you can see where it ends easier

Fun fact: you may open a damn hole through someone's body, but he will not bleed much and you will be the one to lose :)

The only thing i have to complain about is the imbalanced rome contenders. getting 1 shot on every turn. still maintain you should just beef up the items in the store until your next level cap raise.

Addictive game. I do have some thoughts:
1) with high hit percentages, my guys miss way too much
2) When I actually get loot after a win, it is awful loot. It is usually about 10 levels of usefulness behind where I am which is ironic because I am fighting teams 10 levels above where I am. Why can't we get something that the defeated team was actually using?
3)Does defense only affect blocking or do it have an effect on dodging and missing as well? Maybe something could clear that up.
4) Could we speed up the blood spray? At first, it was fun to see the disemboweling graphic, but it gets old. The same thing applies to the executions.
5) Weapons are too expensive for what you earn for winning; new slaves' prices are prohibitive. I understand that you are trying to make real money, but maybe a lesser option that's affordable but not at level 1?
6)multipliers for technique attacks would be useful; ie: what percentage boost do you get for power attack, etc...
