Goals

general

In each coliseum there is a list of goals, that you can achieve to get extra money (gold points) or to gain metals. Some of the goals are easy, some of them require a bit of trial and error. None of the goals present a real challenge. (When you can't win it immediately, come back later with higher level.)
One noteable exception: In Rome the last goal is to defeat 20 contenders. (But we've got you covered there too. See walkthrough.

strategy

Save goals for when you have reached olympus.

Where it is necessary you will find hints to the goals within the coliseum-pages.
