All good. Hmm. Would it make sense to add a category "Rider"? To the four gladiators who have a beast they can ride?

Yeah that sounds good. I know the mountable beasts have a Mount tag. So makes sense to have a Rider tag

Kevin, I keep getting messages about you editing entries in the wiki, but I cannot tell what the changes are - everything looks the same to me. What exactly are you doing? :)

Edit: Wait a minute - are you adding pronunciation guides? :lol:

There is a page on the wiki with a weird spelling.

http://arenarex.wikia.com/wiki/Coliseum_/_Arena

I have trouble spelling that word too, but I think it is meant to say "colosseum".

I'm not sure if I can change the URL of the page?

I feel like the hardest character name to know how to pronounce that I have come across is Euryale. At least as a non native English speaker, it messes me up.

But I checked her Wikipedia page, and as far as I can read it is:

Eu like Europe
Ry like rye bread (stress here)
Ale like alleviate

So from a Germanic perspective something like iu-RAI-ah-lee.

Since I was unable to edit a wikipedia page once from an event that i was personally a part of, and denied my edits because I was "too close to the actual event" . I refuse to believe anything on Wikipedia.
That being said, this pronunciation is close to your interpretation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GIMYXVxQpQ) (yer-rye-all-ee)


However, I am more inclined to believe that maybe this is the proper pronunciation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFaAHqz8wJ8) (ef-free-all-lee)

Ultimately though it comes down to communication, if both parties understand one another then it shouldn't matter too much =)

For sure, but since you started adding pronunciation guides, the topic is fair game I figure. ;)

I think one key aspect of pronunciation is that most names will vary depending on what your country of perspective is. Roman names like Hercules and Nero will be pronounced completely differently in English and Danish (which is my mother tongue) even though they are the same name. And presumably nobody knows how they were pronounced in ancient Rome.

To me, the first youtube video you linked sounds like an English pronunciation, whereas the second sounds to me like a Greek pronunciation.

Which one is "correct"? Even though the language of origin is Greek, I would lean towards the English as the default pronunciation. Because Arena Rex is written in English and I therefore assume most people would be speaking English to each other when playing. When I play with my New Zealandish friend, we speak English and I will say "Nee-row". When I play with my Danish friend, we speak Danish and I say "Neh-roh". Where both are Nero the bull, and both are correct for the respective language, assuming he is pronounced the same as the Roman emperor.

Keslinger is at it again with the wiki edits. And I spotted something I found strange.

Noxius has been given the "Exilii" tag. Why? I don't see any specific link between the Exilii benefits and Noxius.
