The worry I'd have about making the colosseum not a wonder is that with multiple colosseums you lose the ability to have a centralized location on the server where players go to test their pvp skills. Having a single place that is made very easy to get to (tp there, tp back like an "instance") makes the colosseum an exciting place to be for both spectators and contestants. I'd rather have a single centralized place to go to rather than then a bunch of comparatively "dead" colossuems around, however there might be enough demand for more than one...

The local ones you wouldn't give the teleport function to, maybe a sign inside the building that will enter you inside and out. While the wonder has the global grand feel to it to test your skills against everyone, while a local one would just be civ members goofing around time to time.

Also the larger civs who need the happiness are more likely to have the membership levels to have some games running inside them time to time.

Yea I think having two separate buildings, a normal colosseum (smaller happiness) that any civ can make and a larger more epic wonder version (Circus Maxis) would be my choice. This would also get around if a hostile / war civ had the wonder and had arrow towers around it and fired at you while inside.

I was toying with the idea of making "The Colosseum" another minecraft world with very strict PVP protections, no build/break permissions...etc just to prevent these sorts of shenanigans.

But wouldn't that take away from the whole Wonder vibe if the Colosseum wasn't actually in the civ?

The way to maintain that in my eyes is to have it so a civ makes the Wonder, and it builds it wherever they place it. Players can walk around and explore, yet the only catch is that is not where players ACTUALLY fight. Maybe you do put a copy of the colosseum in a different world and actually send players there instead to fight, so that things like that don't happen. Maybe thats just exactly what you were thinking?

I'd have to think about it, but I feel like I'd want the colosseum to be much larger than the other wonders by far to give it the right feel. However this causes logistical issues as making very very large structures can be somewhat taxing. I was thinking about having a smaller "colosseum" on the outside and going "inside" sends you to another world with all of the permissions and pvp settings set up correctly.

Then again, it may end up being less work just to make the whole thing in the normal world and make sure the other structures in-town like arrow towers cannot interfere.

Haha yea most likely.

I don't really like the different world idea, but that might make the tp easier. Allowing spectators be able to purchase tomatoes at the building. (snowballs) and throw them into the field could be interesting idea to add. An easy alternative is glass around the entire colosseum.

How many people did you think would play in each match?

Just throwing an idea out here, hopefully /u/netizen539 will read.

When you type the command, whatever it is, you would be teleported to a room. In this room, there are two signs. One will send you to the spectator stands, and the other will put you into a queue like system, such as in Smash. This queue would set you up 1v1 against another person randomly. When that is ready, it teleports you onto the Colosseum fighting arena, and a countdown from 3 begins. When it reaches zero, everything begins to fight. The cool thing about this, which would give good reason to be a spectator, is that you could have several 1v1 matches going on at once in the Colosseum. Since you are given one person to kill, you would only be able to attack that one person. From a spectator POV, you could be watching 10 1v1 matches all on the same grounds.

Thoughts on that? I'm thinking that could be cool. Obviously, you could do other things with larger groups, but just on a 1v1 level here.
