To the rule “The Arena”, after the first paragraph, add:-
Each Arena Square may contain either one or zero Entities. The contents of each Arena Square is tracked as a grid of Icons on a wiki page called “The Arena”, along with a key showing the Icons of any Gladiators who have Icons, matched to the names of those Gladiators. If an Arena Square contains no Entities, it is considered to be empty, and is represented by the Icon “IconEmpty.png”.
Remove the paragraph beginning “Each Gladiator has a Location”.
Reword Rule 2.1 (Species) to:-
Gladiators are Entities. Each Gladiator has a Status, tracked in the GNDT, which is either “Fighting” or “Resting”. Resting Gladiators do not occupy an Arena Square. New Gladiators begin as Resting.
A valid Entry Point is any Arena Square which is Empty, and which is either in Column A, Column I, Row 1 or Row 9. If a Gladiator is Resting and has an Icon, and if any valid Entry Points exist, that Gladiator may enter the Arena by occupying a single valid Entry Point and updating his Status to “Fighting”.
Despite being mostly sterile, Gladiators are considered to be male and may be referred to in dynastic rules with masculine pronouns (such as ‘he’).
Add a new rule, “Icons”:-
An Icon is a wiki image measuring 80 pixels by 80 pixels, and whose filename is either “IconXxxx.png”, “IconXxxx.gif” or “IconXxxx.jpg”, where “Xxxx” is a string of no more than eight characters. Each Entity in the game may be represented by an Icon.
If a Gladiator has no Icon, that Gladiator may upload a valid Icon to the wiki, with a valid filename of his choosing which is not already used by another Icon, and add it to the “Key” section of the Arena wiki page. This becomes that Gladiator’s Icon.
The Announcer may change the image of any Icon at any time.
If the wiki page “The Arena” exists, blank it. If it doesn’t exist, create it. Either way, set it up to represent a 9x9 grid of empty squares, and a blank key. (This example layout with placeholder graphics could serve as inspiration.)
