Morturi Te Salutant: Main Page -> Morturi: The Lanista and the School
This page runs through the basics of creating a school.
1. Determine Budget
First, determine how much gold you have available to build your school.
By default, in a pick-up match a School will have Five Thousand Denarii.
In a campaign game, a School instead starts with Ten Thousand Denarii.
A single denarius is thought to be equivalent in buying power to US$20 in modern day terms, and an ordinary slave would cost anything from 500 to 2000 denarii, with trained or proven gladiators often holding much higher values.
In a pick-up match, players might agree to vary the starting value of their schools, to allow for grand spectacles and small skirmishes, or to allow a more experienced player to deliberately handicap himself.
2. Purchase Gladiators
In a pick-up game, Gladiators have the following pricings:
- Novicius - 500 Denarii
- Gladiator - 1000 Denarii
- Primus Palus - 1500 Denarii
Gladiators for pick-up games are generated by the Lanistae purchasing them.
In a full campaign game prices are not fixed, but instead Gladiators are sold at Auction.
