===Surrender===

Sometimes, especially in Campaign games, a Lanista may want to concede a match and hand victory to his opponent.

This can be done only at the end of a ''Battle Round''. Doing so removes all remaining Gladiators of that school from the battle - they are not considered to be out-of-action, but can no longer take part in the battle.

Some battles might be deemed by the Imperator to be ''"no retreat"'' scenarios. In these cases, a Lanista may never opt to surrender, and attempting to do so simply results in every one of his remaining gladiators being taken out-of-action, as they are mercilessly cut down as they scrabble to flee the arena!

Imperators may want to introduce additional limitations to ''Surrender'' especially if he suspects that Lanistae are "throwing the match" tactically. As a default, it is suggested that Campaign games use the following additional limitations:

* '''A minimum of spilt blood''' - A match cannot be surrendered until at least one gladiator has been taken out-of-action.
* '''A minimum of show for the crowd''' - A match cannot be surrendered until at least three full battle turns have passed.
