Arena Battle

It would be great if Haypi offered an option for players to pit their skills against each other in an arena format that other players could watch.

Perhaps difficult to set up, but imagine the possibility of two top players going head to head on a field with no defensive speed advantage, no option to withdraw. Army size fixed before battle and no prestige multiplier. Just a pure test of commanding skill.

there has to be defensive speed advantage, what if two people go forward with the same speed one must go before the other

That could be determined by luck instead, or attack power, or defense power. Just a thought

people of the same level could potentially have the same stats and techs, speed is the only thin that differentiates them and eve then its the defneders advantage that differentiates them

or luck eg "player got lucky and has first strike" you have a 50/50 chance of the advantage then

I personally like this idea, and I think there should be stakes such as treasures or money etc. But I would think that they should keep their stats, such as speed and defense and etc, because it would be much more interesting to watch. Otherwise, great idea!

or luck eg "player got lucky and has first strike" you have a 50/50 chance of the advantage then

ok so it looks like the winner is determined by luck thats seems just as wierd as it now doesnt come down to skill but luck. the only way you can win if you have less speed is by having a ridiuloucly larger army or that the other person isnt commanding

HK is too linear to have arena battles. New troop types would have to be introduced to allow this type of battle.

Depending on match-ups and rewards, this could be both a great feature, or one that could be easily abused.
