Stadiums?

[Kligan]

As far as I understrand, I can upgrade my stadium to get small bonuses when maches are played in it.
But when does this happens? I mean, there are 5 types of stadiums avaliable. And so far I've only seen one. Each time I play it is the same stadium with default green grass and stuff. Only once against the dwarf teem I saw a stadium with stone floor, but the rest of the surroundings was the same anyway.

The stone floor was astrogranite, which is an enhancement that is available to an upgraded stadium. You are probably playing in different stadiums, but not noticing the differences that only become apparent when you zoom right in and view the scene horizontally.

Either that, or you just have freakish luck and keep playing in the same stadium.

The stadiums all start with the same field, its not different for everyone like in BB1.

Stadiums begin at Level 1. You have to pay gold to upgrade them to Level 2 in order to unlock an enhancement slot, and can then pay gold to 'equip' the stadium with an enhancement.

Stadiums can be upgraded beyond Level 2, but I'm not sure if that unlocks additional enhancement slots (allowing multiple enhancements per stadium) or just continues to upgrade the visual appearance of the stadium.

Only level 2 serves a purpose in terms of unlocking a slot. The rest of the upgrades up to level 4 is only cosmetic.

Astrogranite makes the pitch into stone.
Elven grass makes all the field, including outside into some other grass.
All the other upgrades are visible on the side of the pitch. They all have their own location.

Yeah, but how do I play in my own stadium? Is it like, when I get an opponent it randomly choses which stadium we're gonna play at? And if so, does the game actually say at what stadium we're gonna play?

I havent played P2P yet.

But again AI in leagues you play as home or away team. Home team uses its own stadium.

Someone said it's 50-50 chance, that's probably correct. There are some upgrades you don't really see unless you know to look for them in the right spot, but those are things like weather controls, beer stands, things that you don't have any control over and things that don't really need any specific countermeasures. If you get a free spell or a free bribe, you see it in the inducement screen already.

It says what stadium the game is being played in at the start, during the team review. If you skip that you might miss it.

If you can't recall what name you called your stadium, I can't help any further :)
