Designer Comments
This is an all out pitched battle, fought to the death! Even though the auctoritatii on offer are expensive, the Lanistae may want to consider them anyway, to avoid risking their own precious fighters' survival, though doing so is always going to be weighing profit versus risk.
Its worth noting that this battle is going to have a lot of heavy gladiators in it, and not many light.
Imperator players are encouraged to come up with historical reenactments of their own!
