Scouting Reports

[Team Kaos]

Wouldn't it make sense to be able to view warrior's fight strategy in the scouting reports? It's not much of scouting report if you still don't know how he fights. Especially since there is no way to be sure what strategy any warrior is using at any time.

IMO, I think each warrior's fight strategy shoud be displayed during the fight (trigger, activity, style, etc) and show the changes in strategy during the match. It would only make sense to see it since your fighter is facing his opponent and theoretically you as a manager are watching the fight and would be able to observe the opponents strategy.
Whether his strategy says the same or changes fight to fight makes for more strategic managing.

Right now, you are in the dark in exactly what you are facing and what you just faced while being only able to figure out limited aspects of your opponents strategy after the fight.

Sorta like reading a newspaper about a MMA match and only being told how each blow was landed. If you watched the match you would know a ton of info about both fighters.

Perhaps only the "Bone Crushing Highlights" should be viewed by all in the arena results, but the "blow by blow" with the fight strategies, can be seen only by the 2 managers involved.
If another manager wanted to view the "Blow by Blow" results, a small fee could be charged for such results since it would be sorta like a scouting report but no more then if they were watching from the arena sidelines.

That idea was brought up in the Beta and was quickly shot down, stepped on, burned, buried, dug back up, pissed on, burned again, shredded and the individual pieces were then hung up all throughout the Great Realm. Player's consider their strategies their secret sauce and don't want anyone knowing their secret ingredients.

If you carefully read the fights you can already figure out a lot of what the other gladiator is doing ranging from his activity level to his fighting style to what his triggers probably are, so you already have what you are asking for in regards to the MMA example. If you do your homework on a gladiator, follow him in the daily results available to everyone and get his scouting reports from time to time I think you'll find that you could likely figure out his Fight Strategy with a great deal of accuracy.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I can understand that, sorta like the guy that is scared to lift the hood of his car before or after a drag race. Worried that he may lose his hidden advantage.
However, if something was to remain unknown to the opposition it should be the warriors training skills, since in theory he would train away from anyone's vision. His strategy on the otherhand would be well known due to being viewed while he fights by all to see.

Sorta like the NFL, game to game everyone can visually see a teams strategy but no one can see what players or coaches are working on during practice unless you are part of the team. A scout can only see what happens during games they would not be able to know a players training skills worked on during practice.

Just my own opinion. It just seems kinda backwards right now what the scouting report is.

True, but you cannot be exactly sure, and subtle changes to your strategy can alter the outcome if you are right, but you have no idea if you were right or wrong since you really aren't sure.
And you can only figure out certian triggers if you are already set to act to those triggers.

But hey, I'm just one voice. Just don't know how in reality you could scout someone's skills or practice unless you are allowed, otherwise it would be called spying.

But you could easily scout strategy that was seen by all that attended.
