Hello!
We hope everyone is happy with the updated "Vanilla Edition". For those of you that have missed it, we restored old Gladiator School and improved it alot, not only in terms of content, but also the overall mechanics. It was a pure loveletter to all the supporters of "old Vanilla GS". We did TONS of improvements to all major game systems, UI/UX, animations, textures, faster save/load systems and hundreds of tweaks and fixes to the training and combat. We also completed the storyline and finally added a real ending to the game.

Today we have good news for the future. It is time to announce a new expansion that also will stay true to "Vanilla Edition" and add more content to it. You have been invited to travel to the north and participate in a major gladiator tournament event. This will be a challenging competition with new progression and rewards. A new city will open its gates before you. It consists of one big arena in the middle and several districts, each with their own market and special traders. A complete new story with a second ending and a big suprise that we will not spoil quite yet.

"Far away in the distant lands to the north. The Ogre King is calling the strongest gladiators from all the corners of the world. The most grand spectacle in the "Beltozar Pit", the tournament of the ages. The battle of legends. Let the games begin"

Gladiator School: "The Ogre King" is the next full DLC expansion for the ultimate gladiator tycoon management game on Steam. This expansion will be free content together with the version 2.017 update to the basegame. Launch date to be announced soon.

Please consider leaving us a review and tell us what you think about the game or what we did to the "Vanilla Edition" - it means a lot to us. Your support makes this possible!

Half of our team is currently working on a new game called Tower Walker. The reason we mention this is because the foundation is built upon the old gladiator school engine but this time you do not train in a camp. Instead you go up in a tower and grind mobs for XP and loots. You only play one character and do not manage several fighters. It is auto-battler combat like Gladiator School but you manage one gladiator(fighter), grind for gear and progress up in a tower.

If that sounds interesting maybe you would like to check it out...

Thanks for your support!

Good news everyone! Due to popular demand "Vanilla" Gladiator School is coming back at the end of May 2022 with a fresh new update. You asked for it.

We are currently working on an improved and updated version of the classic original game from 2017 (using v1.24 build 469 "Beastmaster update" as a base for rollback). There will be tons of improvements, interface refinements, bug fixes and stability fixes.



We have decided to update and support the old version from now on and in the future. It is time to show some love to the original game and give it what it deserves. To respect what makes Gladiator School unique and special.
The recent "Pit Boss" version (v2.2) will be put aside for now and maybe released as a standalone game with a bit of refinements in the future. (current build will also remain in the game folder so players can continue playing their recent savefiles even after the updates)

From the bottom of our hearts. We are sorry if we have disappointed you, it will not happen again.

Thanks for your support!

NEW GLADIATOR CLASSES
We have added 4 new classes to explore with their own passive and ultimate abilities.
BARBARIAN, BLADEMASTER, CENTURION, WARLORD


POTENTIAL
All gladiators in the game now has a potential star rating (1-5).
Rare gladiators have higher potential. Potential affects how much stats your gladiator can gain from practice and how much experience he can gain from competition before he reaches maximum cap. Potential can change over time.


IMPROVED TRAINING
Training works like it did in earlier versions but without having to manage your gladiator resting in real time. You can now keep track of their condition from day to day and decide how to plan their training schedule.


MEDICUS
This update introduces a new injury system. Medicus can now suggest special treatments to increase condition recovery speed for major and heavy injuries. Medicus can now also be upgraded from novice to master.


CONDITION
Condition is a new value in the game that represents freshness, fitness and general sharpness in combat for a gladiator. The higher this is the better the gladiator will perform and the less likely he will be to get injured during a fight. Condition will recover when the gladiator is sent to the barracks to rest. However, regular training is necessary to keep condition maxed out and fit for combat.


MILESTONES
All opponents that your gladiator fights have a certain fame rating in the world.
Milestone progress now add visible feedback for the most famous victory your gladiator
has achieved in his career. It also displays all competition milestones achieved.

SAVEFILES COMPATABILITY FROM OLD VERSION
Since this is a complete rework of the game savefiles from previous version are not compatible. You must create a new game to play this version. You can still load your older savefiles in the previous version of the game.

HOW TO ACCESS THE OLD VERSION OF THE GAME
If you want to play the old version of the game from 2017 you can find it in your game folder /Vanilla_GS/gs_old.exe
To import previous saved data to old version move the files myprofile.data, mysettings.data and save.data to the folder /Vanilla_GS/
