*First off, instead of tearing out the old mobs and putting in new, I built a second coliseum in AH, which is not open yet.
*The BH coliseum scores are reset and you can earn drachma and honor. Honor reward is now based off of personal best rather than high scorer. There is no benefit to getting in sooner than everyone else to get a high score. There is no high scorer drachma or honor. So don't be in a hurry to get in there. Focus on bug testing for now if you play in it.
*You will be dispelled on entrance to the coliseum. So will your pets. So no need spelling up or having someone else spell you up. You will not receive a restore. So go in full.
*You will receive mana restores at the 2, 4, and 6 minute marks (roughly). The timer is not very accurate, should be within 10 seconds either way though. You will not receive hit points.
*There are no berries.
*Mobs are being slimmed down in the higher levels. It is not complete. Need to get some more score data and tweak them accordingly.
*Mobs in BH coliseum are basically the same, some only slimmer. As before, sword is for demons, spear for dragons, breath for death, and salt for snail.
It's a work in progress but it is open for testing. I ask you to honor the spirit of the coliseum rule about outside aid and avoid doing the following:
Using imbued spells.
Using charmed pets (charm person).
Using devaks.
Having a friend level a 40 to get a world restore during fight.
Also familiar may be exploitable in that it could end up counting as a point, I'll have to check and add protection if so. Don't do it... I'll test it later.
I will slowly implement protections against these practices but in the meantime I'll just have to resort to investigating suspicious scores.
I encourage you to test levels Newbie-4 and level 7. You may want to hold off on 5, 6, 8, and 9. I have minor mob modification to do.
You can email me bugs or suggestions to
