I want to see female gladiators! YEAH!

[Dogfight]

Female gladiators! Nearly every MMO game I've played or even heard of have female and male options. There don't have to be penalties or bonuses or even any change in programming. It would be purely aesthetic. But this game could use some more eye candy.

I know this game is a business and you're in it to make money. If you want to see more traffic and more player retention then female gladiators is the way to go. Thanks for reading and good luck!

mm... i think you assuming that Nate is here just for money is a bit offensive. and what aesthetics are you talking about? in this game you can only see your armour and faceless men being slashed to bits.

I agree completely. But one thing: I've never in my life said "just for money" in this forum. Never. I've never even used the word "just" at all here. If you see it in my post or any other post of mine please notify me IMMEDIATELY. Now in the meantime let me apologize beforehand if this was even implied. I love this game. The idea is original, the art is great and it doesn't take up hours and hours that most of us don't have.

The Arena section and the Tavern section are the only places anybody can even see anything that resembles a female. Oh yeah, there's the Spa in the Stables. Now, let's wander to the Stable and see the "Overview" of any one of your boys. We see 7 small pictures, each one that is associated to an attribute: all burly, bald guys. If anyone of your gladiators were women you'd have different pictures, right? I hope so. That's one example.

No need to stir up debate on which gender is more this or that. That's the kind of stuff that gets people into trouble (although it could get a LOT of free publicity). No need to re-invent the wheel or even lift the hood. It's the little things, the bells and whistles.

Whether anything like this happens or not doesn't matter to me. Like most of you, I'll keep coming back to see my gladiators tear it up in the Arena.

- This game is way better than browser games of its category. Nate deserves more than what he may be getting presently.
- We really don't need female gladiators for asthetic point of view. But yes, strategically it may make sense. For example, female gladiators may have strength/ size attribute upgradable to maximum 8 points instead of 10 while agility/ presense upgradable to maximum 12 points. This may just bring more variety to the game.
- Female players, however little in number, will no doubt welcome the change if they get to create female gladiators. You bet.

Overall, I support the idea.

Nate had spoken of adding female gladiators, and introducing exclusive styles associated with them in the future in an old post.
