    Haha Apoc, your suggestion for Urk is hilarious - and quite true I suppose

    As for the waiving of requirements for minimum fights and w/l, I can confirm that this is, sadly, not true. I've had glads get into Blood gods at ~650 total fights and they still had to grind to 1000 before they could retire. And while the required w/l ratio declines gradually over time, I think that's true of every glad.

    I'll add comments for your suggestions in a bit.

    oh, and thanks for adding this to the player guides sticky Happy to make a contribution to helping more new managers find success and stick around.

    Good stuff Adoede, nicely written. One thing to note on favorable/unfavorable matchups is that they will shift somewhat depending on relative gear levels so new players may find that they hit a wall against a build they were previously beating consistently.

    @Apoc "durdling" is the best new word I've heard in a long time xD

    durdle is an awesome word


    For BG's, my bad about 1000 fight waiver. It lets you ignore the w/l requirement though right? I'm 99% sure it lets you waive that requirement... <looks uncertain>

    Thanks SOTC. Now if only you'd write one up for the Advanced level of the game

    @Apoc - You must be incredibly lucky because that 1% chance that win/loss does still count in Blood gods towards retirement is actually still the case. True, the more fights your glad has, the lower the required w/l ratio becomes...so most of my old glads only need a 33% w/l ratio to retire. But my relatively newer Blood gods member still needs 45% to retire. Don't know if that is also the case in Primus...

    Hmmm, It must have been a brief thing Nate introduced then when people started having problems. Oh well

    Defensive theatrics are actually good against speed rages.

    The guide was really enjoyable to read. Need to be sticky.

    Thanks Cynaidh and Pit Lord. I'll adjust the notes for defensive theatrics since you have much more experience with them than I do.

    I'm loving the little edits

If you don't do this, you will only be able to train each stat to +9. Many a veteran manager has gone on a lawn ornament annihilation rampage upon discovering this detail juuuust a bit too late.
