Tournaments and Concussions

[Matta]

How many times can these poor people be knocked unconsious? Boxers suffer from the same sort of problem as their carrers progress. Get KO'd too many times and you'll be invalid eventually.

This might not be a problem for the random un-named chapion and veteran fighter you run into since, concievably, there's dozens of them. Xerina is a totally different story. I don't understand how she even has the ability to dress herself in the morning after getting smacked around the head so much. I've put her down atleast 30 times myself and seen others do the same. Same goes for the other named participants. These people shouldn't even have bone structure in their heads anymore.

So, as a rememdy to this, we could have more named participants. Or, have the named players show up less often? Perhaps they wouldn't even show up if you bet less than 100 on the match. After so many matches won maybe you could open up more expensive matches, say 500, that would guarantee a hero on the opposite team.

Heh, wouldn't the "heroes" also have to be semi-competent to justify that? I swear, I've only been knocked out by Dranton once, when I was chasing after him, and my body was blocking the view of the 2-handed sword swings he was doing from his horse, and it had me in a bad mood for the next hour. Xerina? Good girl, but I hope she has a real job.

Yeah, the tounies can get easy as you get familiar with how to battle. Personally, I only ever lose when it's me two-handing vs an archer. Not a horse archer mind you, but one running around. Especially when it's a veteran or a champion. They've got no encumberance and 4 athletics it seems like. You just can't catch them when they're backing up and dodging left, right, and unloading arrows like a Legolas wanna-be. It's close, but I can usually beat them when I get a shield.
