Changelog

1.0.0

• First release: arenas where anything fights anything – tame and wild creatures, players, Cluck Fighters – in teams, duels or everyone for themselves.
• Holmgang desk with lever, dials and hourglass: death rule, time limit, rounds, field size, gates by hand.
• Side banners make calm rooms; banner colours make the teams, the kind of fight is read from the rooms.
• Four gates sized for every creature: two portcullises on winches, two timber double gates.
• Rope net roof for flyers, arena barriers, roll of honour.
• Creatures that never attack fight anyway: the young with their own attacks, deer, hares, hens and seals with rams, kicks, pecks and bites.
• Spared fights (fall instead of dying), healing back in the rooms, no harm to onlookers or buildings, no spawns during a fight.
• Creatures that other mods keep from dying (sleep or unconsciousness instead of death) count as fallen and lie out the fight.
• Watching a fight: overview, follow and through the fighter's eyes; the fallen watch their side, the dead stay as ghosts until the end; health bars, fighter list, calls in the middle of the screen, map pins.
• Arena building kit: ring walls (timber, stone, 4 radii), ring gates, curved and straight stands with seats, benches, roofed gangways, ground stake, vébönd.
• The arena moderator: take the desk, make announcements, start now, on a timer or when the starter stands in his room.
• Every piece in wood, dark wood, stone, black marble and grausten where it suits; three hammer tabs.
• Shields: generators burning bones feed an arena dome (no damage to buildings, no missiles from outside) or the ring shield during a fight (no missiles across, fighters stay in, onlookers out), shaped by adapters on the ring wall or by a round ring.
• ArenaApi for other mods: thralls can moderate the arena.
• Experience from arena fights, kept small: the Holmgang skill for players, their own mod's experience for creatures, a daily budget against farming.
• Free-for-all chambers: a chamber post makes a small room a chamber for one fighter alone; a chamber holding more keeps its gate shut and sits out the round.
• Betting board: coins on a side during the countdown, one pot shared by the winners plus a small house bonus that grows with fighters, bettors and onlookers; a crowd raises the round's experience.
• War horn, winch and timber sounds of its own.
