Greetings Pit Masters!
Today we welcome the start of the Early Access promotion for the Shadow specialty from the new gladiatorial school Shadow & Myst! The Shadow specialty is the first of the three new specialties headed to an Arena near you!
A few things to note. Currently only the male Shadow specialty gladiators are available. Why? Art costs. Each gladiator portrait you see in the game is roughly $1000 once all artists involved have been paid. As such, the difficult decision of postponing the female versions had to be made. I hope to have female art available in the future though. Second, an entire new set of armour and weapons will be making their way from the Eastern Empire into the Great Realm over the coming weeks. Jimmy the Squid's men are there right now making the arrangements.
"The soldiers and war machines of the Great Realm expanded East awakening an enemy unlike any ever encountered. On the battlefield soldiers lay dead inside undamaged armour, others slashed asunder with surgical precision and always a haunting chill lingering in the air. With no living witnesses, only the devastating aftermath hinted at the presence of this mysterious terror. Deep within the borders of the Eastern Empire lay a secret weapon, daemons some called them, devils from the Underworld others would whisper. It made no difference to the Pit Masters of the Arena what they were or where they came from, only that they fatten their purses and delight the crowds with something they've never seen before!"
If this sounds exciting to you and you would like to take part in the Early Access promotion, go to the Stable Upgrades screen and under "Staff" you'll find the upgrade for a Shadow Trainer. If a Shadow Trainer isn't in your stable's budget right now, fear not, once the Early Access promotion is over, the price will be lowered at that time. When and by how much have not yet been determined. A huge thank you to everyone for being so patient over the years, 2015 promises to be one of the best years yet with two new schools being released (that's six new specialties) and a huge overhaul and expansion to Conquests!
Good luck in the Pit!
