This guide does NOT contain skill information, and will not help you decide which class to choose. For that, please refer to muddynick or Lord deArnise's Character Guide or purchase the Official Strategy Guide from Prima Games. I have decided to be generous and make this available on GameFAQs.com for others to use (AS REFERENCE ONLY), and not to copy or publish anywhere else. It is absolutely NOT permitted to be used commercially. This guide may ONLY appear at GameFAQs, because then I only have to inform one site when I make changes. MY BACKGROUND: (last updated August 17th, 2004) I am only on my first time through this game, and I'm playing as Ursula, although that has little effect on the information in this guide (except that I place Nordagh before Imperia when I list the regions). I intend to play through many more times (much to the dismay of my boyfriend, who thinks I should broaden my horizons and play other games once in awhile :P) I love this game though, with all the choices of classes and characters and skills and customization.. and, in the end, having a school that has a good balance of character types and affinity powers. I love analyzing and critiquing my choices, and MMMMMMmmm making changes :) I also love discussing strategy and answering questions on the Gladius message boards at GameFAQs.com .. but I do NOT want to be contacted through email with questions. CONTACTING ME: Sites other than GameFAQs that wish to host this guide may contact me at their own risk -- and be prepared to offer me something in return. :P Any errors, omissions, or suggestions may be emailed to crystal37@hotmail.com, but please note that it will go directly to my Junkmail bin and I might not see it before it gets deleted. I do check fairly frequently though, so please put 'Gladius' in the subject line to ensure that I don't miss it. I must emphasize that I do NOT want to answer questions via email, PLEASE post them on the Gladius message boards at GameFAQs.com instead. ============================================================================== [2] Version History (and Future) ============================================================================== v1.0 ... August 17, 2004 - Gladiator names, prices, and locations, based on information found in the Prima Strategy Guide, but as many as I could find ARE confirmed firsthand - (Most Important) Recruits are organized in a way that is useful ;) - A few listed here are not in the Strategy Guide (and I don't mean just the Undead Legionnaires!) - Gladiator genders and nationalities included (gooo girl power! :P) - Some "requirements" that certain recruits are looking for are included (e.g. popularity, level, etc.) .. but I only saw the requirements I couldn't fulfill - Brief notes on how to access "special" character classes v1.1 ... September 13, 2004 - A few modifications suggested by users of GameFAQs (Thanks to Hell PhD for noting that I forgot to mention the requirements for recruiting Amazons, and to the dude using the name "Unfunny Joke Account" for urging me to explain why saving your game is important before expelling a gladiator that you may find useful later.) - A bit of reorganization (moved stuff from "How to Use this Guide" to a new section entitled "Some Notes on Recruiting"). - Used '*' ONLY to mark gladiators not listed in Prima's Guide (for ease of searching the page). ~~~ In the Future ~~~ - Remove all question-marks from the list by verifying the data - Find more gladiators that are not listed in the Strategy Guide - Find out ALL the additional requirements recruits are looking for - Find a Galdr to recruit, if it can be done!! [grin] The Strategy Guide doesn't mention them as being obtainable, but the availability of Galdr helmets begs explanation (unless it must be brushed off as being a "tease"). Some people on the GameFAQs board have claimed they've recruited one .. whether they're lying, mistaken, or telling the truth, remains to be proven. - If certain trends are noticed in recruits (i.e. always choosing the same affinity or skills, or whether one gladiator "always sucks" or "always rocks") I will take note of it. ============================================================================== [3] Some Notes on Recruiting ============================================================================== FINDING GLADIATORS: You may have to visit a recruiting office SEVERAL TIMES before the gladiator you want shows up on the list. This may make it difficult to figure out which recruiting office holds a gladiator that you have previously expelled (since expelled gladiators may appear in ANY town in the region where the expulsion took place). Thus, if you think you may want to re-recruit someone, be sure to save your game before expelling, and figure out which office s/he reappears in before saving again. SPECIAL RECRUITS: Some special gladiators offer to permanently join your school for free (and are not available as temporary recruits at all). Their cost is listed as 0(---). The means of triggering each one is explained below. RE-RECRUITING: Expelled gladiators go to a random town in the region where they were expelled, and may be difficult to find because recruitment offices rarely list everyone available in that town. You may have to check back several times before you see the one you want. Once you've found your expelled gladiator, it will always be in that town, although not always listed. The price to re-recruit is ALWAYS 250 Dinars per level for permanent, 50 Dinars per level for temporary. Gladiators that are killed in random encounters may also be found, for the same price, somewhere in the region where they were killed. RECRUITING GLITCH: To permanently recruit gladiators that are listed as only being available for temporary recruit, there is a glitch that can be abused: Let your gold drop below the Temp price (by buying a bunch of items) and attempt to recruit them. They will thank you for the opportunity or something, but "Do not Recruit" is the only option .. surprisingly, after you select it, they disappear from the recruit list and they are on your roster, free of charge. They are fully under your control like regular permanent gladiators. ============================================================================== [4] How to Use this Guide ============================================================================== First you must decide on a class, by examining muddynick or Lord deArnise's Character Guide (available at GameFAQs.com) or Prima's Official Strategy Guide to learn about their skills, or just choose a class because it looks cool... Then, using my guide, you can seek out every instance of that chosen class, and compare them to each other. Compare skills, affinity choice, stats, whatever. Heck, you can even use this guide just to choose your recruits by name, if you want. This works especially well after getting to the point where you can roam the world freely, and access all of the available recruiting offices. To get to that point quickly, please see my Speed Walkthrough, also available at GameFAQs.com. This guide's sole purpose is to tell you WHO is out there, and WHERE they may be found. I suspect that most other aspects of the character are random in each game, things like their chosen skills, affinity, and stats, so I won't list those details here (although I might do so later, if I notice trends). I have organized the class list as follows: -=--==---===================.@@ CLASSNAME (X) @@.====================---==--=- ..RegionName................................... CITYNAME: GladiatorName* (X)x. Perm(Temp)? Additional Requirements/Info LEGEND: * : not listed in the Strategy Guide (a ? may be in this position) ? : listed in the Strategy Guide, but I haven't seen it x. : sex (will be m or f for male or female, x for beasts) Perm : price per level to recruit permanently (Temp) : price per level to recruit temporarily ? : I already recruited and/or expelled and can't confirm the cost (X) : (N)/(I)/(W)/(S) and will EITHER be by the class name (when every instance of that class has the same nationality) OR next to the gender (when individual gladiators have different nationalities). In the game, a gladiator's nationality is shown in the colour of the background, and by the font used to write the gladiator's name: Green with scribbled font: from Nordagh Blue with "Times New Roman" font: from Imperia Dark Red with "Far Eastern English" font: from Windward Steppes Yellow with "Calligrapher" font: from Southern Expanse [Credit: Font descriptions borrowed from Lord deArnise's Character Guide.] ============================================================================== [4] Recruitable Gladiator List ============================================================================== -=--==---=====================.@@ AMAZON (W) @@.=====================---==--=- ..Imperia............................

It will be in Cro Beska if it is your first time in Imperia, or Syrna if you've completed all the regions. - There are two ways to go about ensuring that you get a Minotaur. (The other classes that may ask to join your school are all available elsewhere, whereas Minotaurs are ONLY available here.) In either case, if you don't get the Minotaur, you'll have to reload and try again. (1) If your school is full, save AFTER you complete the battle. Expel the gladiator of your choice, then return to the League menu to have one of the combatants ask to join. If it's not the Minotaur, at least you don't have to do the fight all over again. (2) If your school is not full, one of the Historians combatants will ask to join immediately after the battle. If it's not the one you want, you will have to reload and redo the battle. ..Imperia............................
