Hayden was adorable! Youre just a Hayden hater because you don't do any cool reviews on you tube and get free games from publishers.
I started imagining a "romanesque" theme but then rather than going on a tangent, decided to focus on the "arena" theme but I can see how this would work also for classes like senators, assassins, generals, etc. Anyway, back to gladiators, I started thinking, how about the objective of the game could be to get the "Rudius" and win your freedom! In order to do that, you'll have to be crowned champion for 3 non-consecutive rounds. (3 years time span). The trick however is that you can't just kill anyone. You'll be given a color code (faction), and you'll have to figure out who youre trying to kill. Each player Matt also has a different specialization, ie. Trident/net, Heavy shield / sword, Double sword, etc.
Ok, take it away...
