Gladiator duels

[SupMellow?]

For some reason, when I start a duel between two slaves, they drop their weapon. Do you think this is caused by a mod, or is there an option I need to toggle for them to keep their weapon?

Thanks for letting me know!

Maybe because they are slaves and they use just the weapons on the ground.

I saw someone else mention this a few days ago. I have not done a duel yet, but from what I understand, the contestant should use the weapon until the end of the fight, then drop it.

May be a bug, but I am leaning towards it being a mod issue.

I´m running (and loving) a dueling colony.

My prisoners go in without weapons, I have a stockpile on the ground in front of the ritual mark that allows only the weapon(s) I´ve decided they get to use, when they duel starts the prisoners pick up a weapon each and start fighting, at the end of the duel they drop them.

Works like a charm and you won´t have to worry about your... Volunteer workers running around with stuff that could inconvenience their beloved masters.

Duels were also a very importent part of my colony. I inject them go-juice so the duels are most of the times deadly. I have 2 prisoner-gladiators. One is tough, the other is a brawler. They fight when I have just one other prisoner without wounds. I control them with a bionic spine. They get the spine just for the combat :)
