Training in the arena #

Access to training can be obtained on the “Training Arena” page (“Character” → “Rent” → “Training Arena”).

The training arena allows for training with combatants, during which fighters increase their knowledge of military affairs. Clones of the princely squad who have paid for daily training are allowed into the Training Arena. Payment for training is made for the desired number of days at the price set by the prince, and is transferred to the prince daily. If a clone is dismissed from the ranks of the squad, gold coins for training paid for but not used by him will be returned.

This is where a clone, through constant training, has a chance to become a true military professional.

The training arena includes areas for both field and maritime exercises. Thus, here you can practice both on artillery pieces and on warships. Remember that an artillery gun can be commanded by a clone with the status of “peasant” and above, and a warship can be commanded by a clone with the status of “bourgeois”.

The training arena has several levels of development. The higher the level, the more units of the “Additional bonus for kvass” characteristic the clone earns for one training session, in addition to his knowledge of military affairs. Also, the number of bottles of the drink “kvass” that a clone can drink during training depends on the level of the Arena.

Consumption of kvass during training allows you to develop military skills or military initiative with greater efficiency.

Do not forget that the amount of a clone’s own military knowledge (basic knowledge) is limited and equal to 1,000,000 units.

During each training session, the clone spends 1 unit of stamina. The fighter must have with him in the “Equipped Items” section the weapon, artillery piece or warship with which he intends to undergo training. Depending on the type of weapon, the clone will receive this or that amount of military knowledge. The prince provides the fighters with ammunition by paying the gunsmith the amount of 0.02 gold coins per day for each training fighter. The gunsmith himself keeps track of the required amount of ammunition for daily exercises. For this reason, the minimum training cost that a prince can assign is 0.02 gold coins. The maximum value is limited to 0.1 gold coins.

During training, fighters’ weapons wear out (lose strength units). If a firearm is so worn out that it is not sufficient for the current training session, the clone will undergo melee training (if equipped) or melee training (if any weapons are missing). In case of lack of stamina, the clone will not be able to participate in the paid training, and money for the missed training will not be refunded. If during a clone’s training a battle begins with the participation of his squad, the clone will be able to participate in the battle.

Attention! An artillery gun can be commanded by a clone with the status of “peasant” and above, and a warship can be commanded by a clone with the status of “bourgeois”. These two types of weapons are used only during training in the arena and in combat with the participation of princely squads, bandit troops and cache robbers. They are not suitable for tournaments, guarding or looting. You can only equip one type of firearm and bladed weapon at a time. If both types of weapons are equipped, the clone will train with firearms. An artillery gun or a warship are considered as firearms.
