Getting started with Bloodsport Colosseum
Overview
What is Bloodsport Colosseum all about?
Simple. The idea of the game is to manage a team of gladiators with the
goal of becoming the most powerful manager in the game. You hire
gladiators, equip them, set them up for battle, and then wait as events
unfold around you. You play the role of a hands-off manager, and as such
are constantly dealing with macro issues such as equipping, training,
hiring, and firing gladiators. But the action happens without your
involvement.
Every game day (every 12 real life hours) the arena
masters are hard at work, overseeing the fights and then scheduling new
fights to happen the following day. During these fights, your gladiator
may win, lose, kill, or be killed and like any other manager, you have no
choice but to sit around and wait to see what happens!
You may also challenge other gladiators in a more instant battle, but
because these matches are outside the official channels, they tend to be
poor teachers (less experience and skill learning for the gladiators) of
real-world combat. They are, of course, a better choice than sitting
around all day doing nothing, but the real glory comes from the daily
arena matches.
Your goal is simple – gain fame and fortune by using the gladiators in
your employment until they’re no longer capable of fighting. Fire those
that are no longer worth maintaining, or send them to the arena with the
instructions that they are to come back a winner or not at all. Be as
ruthless as you can, because the colosseum is no place for the weak.
