ARENA - STRATEGY From: manderso@rucs2.sunlab.cs.runet.edu (Michael Anderson) Date: Tue, 06 Dec 1994 16:43:04 +0000 I was wondering what other managers found to be effective strategies. I orgininally gave my characters lots of intelligence, but since it seems that intelligence can be replaced with gold (ie study more) I decided that I like perception much better. I really like to put speed on the weapon arm - I have one gladiator with +++strength and +++speed on the weapon arm. As far as staring off, I've decided that trying to accomodate a shield in the beginning leaves your skills too low (unless your raisee int). I've been running defense at 30% since my fighters don't have much defense to begin with. Endurance seems to be pretty important as well. I was wondering how effective it is to raise vigor on the torso? Does it significantly reduce endurance fatiuge? And finally, which typeof weapon do you prefer? Right now I'm biased towards ashing weapons because of the low over-all armor rate vrs bashes.. I know that you can stack the padded armor that gives extra vrs bash, but it doesn't seem to compare in the long run. Comments... Criticism... help? May The Blue Lady smile upon you.
