Gladius features several different battle types and conditions that could be applied in any given battle. Examples are: King of the Hill, Vandal, Rival Nations, Points, Domination. They each have different properties and promote different styles of play. King of the Hill is much like it sounds, in which players try to stay on one particular tile the longest. Points is based on which team can do the most damage during the round. It adds a bit of diversity, but the problems begin when you enter class restrictions.
