=Favour of the Crowd=

Gladiatorial contests are fought in front of a baying crowd, and whether they like it or not, gladiators cannot help but be encouraged if the crowd is cheering them on.

This is measured by '''Crowd's Favour''', which is recorded and tracked for each School separately during a battle. Note that individual gladiators do not have their own ''Crowd's Favour'' scores, rather it is a measure of the team's popularity as a whole at any given time.

At the start of the battle, each school has 0 points of ''Crowd's Favour''. Some tricks (such as the Murmillo trick ''"Everybody loves Murmillos!"'') can add to this starting value.

A school automatically gains ''+1 Crowd's Favour'' every time it successfully deals the final blow to an enemy gladiator (that is, deals the damage that takes that gladiator out-of-action).

If a school has more ''Crowd's Favour'' than any other school present, it is said to have '''Boosted Morale'''. All Gladiators within a School team with ''Boosted Morale'' gain a +1 bonus to all damage dealt. This condition ends if they cease if the crowd turns against them - that is, they only keep this bonus so long as their school has more ''Crowd's Favour'' than any other school.

Also, if a School has at least a 10-point lead in Crowd's Favour over the next most popular School, then the ''Boosted Morale'' bonus increases from +1 damage to +2 damage.
