Due to the city's "overlord" type government, the Silverado
is one of the few places where common folk can express
themselves. Popular events include the David vs. Goliath
matches, Gladiator Days, and Trial-by-Combat spectacles.
Though not as bloodthirsty as some HAC arenas, Carson fans
love a good fight and will treat their heroes like
quasi-deities. But being a "god" demands a high price.
Consider yourself forewarned.
Arena Notes:
The outer walls are 30 feet high and 60 DP. The inner
obstacles are 10 feet high and 20 DP. The side tunnels can
be accessed by two outer gates and by six inner gates. All
gates have 40 DP and take one phase to open/close.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Silverado
is its shifting center section. The arena itself is divided
three parts; one lower section and two upper sections
(shaded). The center section can be moved up or down at a
rate of 7.5 feet per second. The center section may move in
a set pattern or randomly.
In a typical duel, the center section starts 15 feet (1")
below the two outer sections. When the center section moves,
it is at a rate of 1/2" per turn. The lower section moves
up, the outer sections stay the same. When the center
section is 15 feet above the outer sections, the process
reverses itself.
Connecting the three sections are two flexible ramps. The
ramps' angles are determined by the height of the three
sections. Each foot of difference between the levels
translates into one degree of angle for the ramps. For
example: the center section is 15 feet above the outer
sections which translates into angled ramps of 15 degrees.
Please remember that at 15 degrees, jumping is possible.

David Vs. Goliath: This event has a mix of high
Division vehicles up against numerous lower Division cars (a
2-1 or 3-1 advantage in money). It's frequently turns into a
contest of brute firepower versus teamwork, skill, and lots
of luck. |
