Nietzsche Arena
Berlin, Germany
Known as one of the world's hardest arenas, the Nietzsche was designed
around the philosophy of "only the strongest survive".* Open year round,
the arena runs a normal season from April to October and features cycles,
trikes, and cars. Events are held even in bad weather, and arena officials
increase the prize money on how bad the weather gets. Prestige is raised
during bad weather also. The Nietzsche is part of the Olde World Circuit.

Arena Features:
The arena floor is made up of porous one-foot diameter rocks, making it
an off-road surface. Liquid dropped weapons effects are halved due to this
special flooring. Gates are 10 feet high and have 50 DP. Gates are automatically
locked down after a duelist enter the arena and won't reopen until the duel
is over. Moats are 15 feet across and are 3 feet deep. Boulders stand 6
feet high and have 100 DP each. The jumps are 45 degrees and indestructible.
The central mound is 30 feet high and is indestructible. The sides of the
mound have a 60 degree slope, resulting in a +/- 15 mph acceleration/deceleration.
Finally, the outer walls are 15-feet high and have 100 DP.
Defenses:
There are four universally turreted 140mm tank guns and eight universally
turreted blast cannons evenly spread around the arena perimeter. Arena management
have been known to use these weapons against rule violators or when they're
in a bad mood, so don't tick them off. This doesn't apply in the Anything
Goes special event.
Levels:
There are four levels in the arena. The north and south sections are considered
ground level. The east section is 15 feet below ground level and the west
is 15 feet higher than ground level. The central mound is 30 feet above
ground level.

Special Events:
Anything Goes - Literally anything goes. Any division, any vehicle, any
weapons. If you want to see a large airship take on a team of cycles with
universal turret equipped sidecars then look no further. Prizes start at one
million dollars for the winner. Prestige is doubled.
Kaizer - The winner of this event is the one who prevents everyone else
from taking over the central mound. Prestige is tripled.
