Solving the "Obselete Gladiator"-problem.

[weaw]

That said I don't see why the "veterans" should not gain access to some extra boost.

Kreegan. I'm agree that the "veterans" are MUST TO HAVE some boost. But. Not a boost with additional equipment slots.
Because, You can imagine this situation easy, one year later in the BG will be only "new"-HOL gladiators. Including "new-veterans". And how we could pass then through them into first half of BG (for example) if they are using additional (2-4) equipment slots? It's a hell (Or it just looks like that?)

My vote for boost for "Veterans". But my vote for flexibility for "Veterans". Additional strategy slot. Additional style, perhaps. But not a direct boost of stats via equipement slots.

// Only real Veterans are knows how to use strategy or style. So. It's looks like real boost for Veterans. Without quotes.
