Age of Gladiators is a management game featuring gladiators. The learning curve is quite steep. Patience and careful management of financial resources are certainly key. There are three important factors: training and building a high-quality staff, event sponsorship, and recruiting new promising gladiators. You need to start very slowly because the management costs are very high. In the early stages, recovery times are long, so it is wise to rotate 3-4 gladiators. In the intermediate stages, sponsorship becomes crucial, as it should be continuous to ensure regular matches, almost every day. This way, you can develop many profiles at once and be competitive at all difficulty levels. If done manually, managing the skill points and attributes of the gladiators can become quite challenging and boring when you have more than 10 gladiators. The fact that you must reach Rome and work your way up from smaller fighting arenas makes the team's growth engaging and compelling. Well-balanced and motivating achievements. The game becomes really fun once you understand the mechanics. It can be frustrating for those new to the genre because of the steep learning curve.
