Quads Arena

🏟️ Arena

Version 0.3.2 · all the mods · install it (r2modman, Mod Manager) or the in-game mod manager (F7)

A stone colosseum, after the arena of the first Fable, builds itself on open ground in your world. Arena Waystones (hammer, Misc) take you

to its forecourt, where the champions of each contest stand in stone and the Arena Master takes your fee. Walk the Long Road from the

Meadows to the Ashlands, three rounds in each land with its champion in the third: the Arena Master holds your things, and the arena arms

you from a chest that rises in the ring; the fighters drop coins, and you upgrade your gear as you go from reward chests, the Armourer and the crowd, who also throw the fresh food, so play to them. Or bring your own gear to a Champion Bout or the

Endless Horde, try Today's Trial, or duel a friend for a wager. A crowd fills the stands, cheers, boos and throws you food. Death is

real. Everyone in the world needs it, and restart after installing.

🔍 How it works

The Arena: a great stone colosseum that stands in your world, where you fight for the crowd, for gold and for glory, like the arena in the first Fable.

What is in it

• The Arena builds itself: the first time the world runs with the mod, it finds flat ground near the middle of the world, clear of everyone's buildings, levels it, clears the trees and puts up a colosseum made of the game's own stone. It is marked on the map, and it is the same for everyone. It cannot be broken, and nothing of it is saved but the levelled ground.
• Arena Waystones (hammer, Misc) take you to its forecourt and back. There stands the Hall of Fame: a stone statue of the champion of each contest (the best run of the Long Road, the Champion Bout, the Endless Horde and Today's Trial in the world), with their names. The Arena Master takes your name at his desk.
• The Long Road: from the Meadows to the Ashlands, three rounds in each land with its champion in the third, as far as you can get. The Arena Master holds everything you carry while you fight. You start in the plainest Meadows gear from a chest that rises in the ring, with whatever weapon the armourer hands you (a knife, an axe, a club, a spear or a bow), and keep it, building it up piece by piece: between lands a reward chest holds a free upgrade and the Armourer stands in the ring, selling upgrades as far as your coin goes (or another kind of weapon), fresh food and meads in the game's own trader window; the crowd throws you gear too. Fighting is hungry work: food burns faster in the ring, and the kitchen's meals are leftovers. The fighters drop coins (no loot): spend them, or walk out with them. Champions drop their trophy and the land's metal. You get your own things back when you come out, or when you rise again if you fall (then what you picked up is lost).
• Today's Trial: one land picked for the day, with its weapon and rules, in the arena's gear; worth half as much again the first time you win it.
• With your own gear: a Champion Bout (one champion, a head taller, as strong as its land allows) or the Endless Horde (wave after wave until you fall or take your purse), against a land your world has reached.
• Each contest costs an entry fee (your first fight is free). The arena's fighters never drop loot.
• You walk in through the main gate and the tunnel; the grate rises, then shuts behind you. The creatures come out of pens behind the grates round the ring. The floor has mounds and dips, and each land brings its own cover: ruins, pillars or stakes. Between lands a platform rises in the middle, with the reward chest on it.
• The crowd fills the stands, turns to watch you, cheers, boos, waves flags and sends a
