Coliseum v1.5 Patch:
Note: Previous save games are NOT compatible with this version and will be
lost when installing.
Bug Fixes:
Corrected a problem with Head-to-Head losses not always being tallied correctly.
Corrected a problem with the Season Number not incrementing up correctly if
you keep all of your warriors in between seasons.
Fixed a rare problem where news reports would report on a warrior on your team
fighting that hasn't fought before.
Fixed a problem where news reports would be cut off occasionally.
Fixed occasional stat irregularities with injuries and spells.
* Fixed a bug where if you released a suspended fighter and signed a new free
pool fighter, he would inherit the old warrior's suspended status
* Fixed a bug where if a CPU warrior retired early, it would sometimes clear
the wrong set of stats, leaving an empty CPU slot
Fixed the problem where the Exit Arena button would stay lit and active while
simming matches, and clicking it again would reset the simming and cause stat
problems
Corrected some rare injury bug problems with CPU warriors
Tweaks:
Adjusted the cost of enchantments up and reduced their duration ranges slightly
Adjusted contract signing costs up slightly.
Added a "poisoning" element to using enchantments as well as potions;
using too many can have harmful results for your warriors in the long term,
similar to potions
Added a possible "Performance" bonus in combat which could occur if
you pass a manager Performance stat check; also added possible combat bonuses
for "experience" as a warrior moves into prime fighting years
Tweaked the chance of deaths down slightly, so that your warriors will tend
to live a bit longer and aging will be more of a factor
Tweaked the various ways manager stats can go up, so that they may change a
bit more often
Changed the enchantments to shuffle randomly more often if one is not currently
active
Redid and moved the Cancel Training button to be cleaner looking on the interface
Added a warning on the Exit Game button text that the game data will be lost
unless the game is saved before exiting
Players now collect a 250 Gold award for qualifying for the playoffs, and 1,000
Gold award for winning a championship
New Features:
Added a "Tome of Champions", which keeps track of and stores tournament
playoff champions for the last 50 seasons.
Revamped Gambling in the game to be payout/odds-based, where the odds are based
on the warrior's record and stats, to make gambling more challenging and balanced,
and redesigned the schedule screen with new graphics, and added text explaining
the betting system to the Schedule help screen
Added fully implemented season fatigue, with a visible status bar. Now warriors,
when fighting or training, tire and you must periodically rest them - Retooled
the look of the Manager Options screen to be crisper and cleaner looking
Added the current season record in parenthesis next to each warrior, along with
their career record
Retooled the development curve for warriors through ages 30-49 to be more distinct
and slightly more varied
Added a funeral screen that may pop up when warriors are killed, with new music,
to enhance the visual impact of a death in the game
Added current injury display to the Playoff screen
Added access to the current news report via a new icon in the match-up screen
to make it easier and more streamlined
Added an option to delete existing saved games to the Save Game menu

new league
