CW5 Arena Book 1 for CWC
Is there any reason to get the Arena Book 1, if I already have L'Outrace, and Arena book? I know the maps are on CW5 scale, but it would be nice to have more maps, and some of the maps I see just from looking at the table on contents in the preview, are new, it seems, like the Amex Proving Grounds, or the Cook County Autoduel Arena. There's also lots of new rules and fluff sections that might be useful, like Land of Lincoln Autoduel Championships, and TV Bunkers and Towers. Mainly thought, what interests me, is to see if there's a consolidated, better thought out cash prize system. I see, also from the preview, they brought back PR, except now it modifies Prestige and Cash. I wonder if the cash prizes are different too. I'm running a persistent character/team Car Wars league, and I can't quite get the cash prizes having the right feel. The 60 30 10 split for the pot seems good, but between a pot of the total max cost of all vehicles competing, or just the division max cost, it's hard to figure out what gives players the right amount of money from AADA divisional events.
The L'Outrace book plays with the PR idea, and it certainly makes sense, you'd get more money from a more popular arena, but at the same time, it seems more likely that divisionals would have a fixed pot. I'm not really sure what do to there, and I'm not sure if Arena Book 1 would help with that.
