Named Gladiators

[Rock]

Just curious how many named gladiators there are. So far I have gotten Crixus and Sparticus. Was lucky enough to land Crixus when I was in my first season. He lost his first battle against a very weak opponent. Then bled out in his second battle... What a waste of a 5 gold star guy At least I learned about bleeding out after that

Being more cautious with Sparticus.

Hi Rock,

Since you ask! There are presently 15 'easter egg' gladiators, and you have correctly identified 2. They are player-team only gens with very great power and usually low greed (thus more affordable, but sometimes still out of reach). If you spot one they are usually a must-hire if you can.

Most are famous gladiators from history, but a couple are early supporters or play-testers of the project.

oooooh suddenly my O.P. D3 gem "Spiculus" makes a lot more sense, what a treat :) :)

Crixus and Sparticus are criminals, so you can get them for free, and they have like 20 win sentences, but they will eventually leave.

I just found another one: Carpophorus. But he is a veteran... WAY to expensive for my lowly D3 team to purchase

Going to start logging some scouting notes as we discover guys. My assumption is that they all have only one name. Not sure if they are always the same, or if they change, but this is what I have seen so far.

Sparticus: A criminal with a 20 win sentence. He is a young (21?) 4 gold star Leader, who starts off with very minimal ability. Despite Low Work Ethic and Average Intelligence he grows pretty quickly until he gets a couple gold stars. Being a criminal, any team can make use of him.

Crixus: A criminal with a 20 win sentence. He starts off as a fully developed 5.0 (maybe 4.5) gold star. Powerful Barbarian that you can afford at any point in the game, but he is old (39?) and drops skills quickly so you can't hang onto him forever. Being a criminal, any team can make use of him.

Carpophorus: 31 year old Veteran Defender. Starts off with 4.5 gold stars (uncertain of max) and has a High Work Ethic. He has Incredible discipline, but Weak skill. With Excellent Agility he might actually be better at dodging than using his shield. Being a veteran his price is prohibitive for lower level teams.

Spiculus: A young (18?) Citizen Gladiator. Low Intelligence and Average Work Ethic, but starts off halfway towards his 5 gold star potential.

Rowdy Redneck: First two name guy on the list, so maybe we have missed others. 5 gold star potential, no other details known.

I retrieved an old save file and I've uploaded a screenshot of Spiculus from that.

He was a citizen gladiator who generated very young, I think 18 years old. I think he started with a CA of 5 silver stars but his PA was 5 gold stars. Low intelligence / average work ethic.

Personally I picked him up in D3 and he racked up to 72 wins as he lead me to my first D1 title, before I made the difficult decision to retire him due to cumulative injuries.

I had one come up recently that was called something like 'Rowdy Redneck', who had 5 gold star potential ability. Could't afford to sign him at the time though, so can't give any more details.

I got Russell Crow before. He was quite good. I assumed it was just a fun random name, but maybe not if some of these guys have two names.

Haha no - Harry Potter would be a totally random one! Bit odd that it would be in Ancient Britain, but I like it! :)
