Current version: 0.9 (April 21, 2006)
This mod removes the level scaling from Arena opponents (though additional plugin is available that adds it back for those who want it) and adds TEAM fights. (2vs2, 4vs4 and 6vs6 available).

NOTE: Please do NOT save&exit the game after a team battle before you get a message about team fights being available again. Sorry about this but the way the game works, I can't find any way to completely fix this problem.
I will make some sort of work-around soon.
UPGRADERS (and everyone else): Remember to read the known issues section first if you run into trouble.

0.8.5 fixes a lot of bugs
0.9 Fixes bugs, adds 6vs6 team battles

-------- WHAT IT DOES
-Removes the scaling of Arena opponents, now every opponent has one set level and it get gradually harder as you progress in ranks. Levels for every opponent can be found from the bottom of this read me. Rewards for beating battles have also changed.

-Introduces new TEAM based fighting system. Talk to Owyn and have him arrange a team fight against the yellow teamfor you. You can choose from 2vs2, 4vs4 or 6vs6 battles. (8vs8 will be included in the next update)


-------- NORMAL ARENA:
-Removes the scaling of Arena opponents, now every opponent has one set level and it gets gradually harder as you progress in ranks. Levels for every opponent can be found from the bottom of this post. Rewards for beating battles have also changed and they look like this now:
Yellow Team Pit Dog: 100 gold
Yellow Team Brawler: 200 gold
Yellow Team Bloodletter: 300 gold
Yellow Team Myrmidon: 450 gold
Yellow Team Warrior: 600 gold
Yellow Team Gladiator: 800 gold
Yellow Team Hero: 1000 gold
Yellow Team Champion: 2500 gold


-------- THE TEAM BATTLE SYSTEM:
-Wear your battle raiment and fight with your allies against the Yellow team. You can start a team battle by talking to Owyn. You can currently choose from 2vs2, 4vs4 or 6vs6 battles. (8vs8 will be included in the next update). Gold rewards are minimal because currently you can fight the team battles almost non stop.


-------- TO DO:
-Add 8vs8 team battles
-Make more unique and better items for higher level opponents. [done for team battle opponents]
-Item rewards
-More opponents
-Add a new dialogue topic that allows players to see if they are ready to take on another opponent.
-New battles and challengers after becoming the grand champion
-"Battle Royale" type battles
-Add more allies and opponents to the team battles so that it doesn't feel too repetitive.

-------- KNOWN ISSUES
-If the "Team Battles" topic does not appear for you, try talking to Owyn about "Battle Matron" or "Blademaster".

-If you try a 6vs6 battle and notice that two of your team members and two opponents are missing, open up the console and type:
set arena.teamcombatantskilled to 2
after that fight the battle normally (it will be like 4vs4), get your reward, wait till the message pops up and now the 6vs6 mode
should work fine.

-Sometimes after killing their current opponent, your allies will stop fighting and just stand there until someone attacks them.
If anyone has any ideas how to fix this, please do tell.
(Their aggressiveness is 100 and disposition towards the yellow team is set to -100.)

-------- OTHER NOTES:
-The AI is really slow to react sometimes, especially if a player character is near. Your teammates will be a little slow to start the battle in the beginning. If anyone knows how to fix this, do tell me. :)
-The way the ally NPC's start standing in a straight line in the beginning looks quite stupid, will be fixed asap.

-------- ADD LEVEL SCALING BACK
If you like the level scaling more, you can try downloading override plugin from here:
http://hachimitsu.org/oblivion/JV-ArenaModification-AddLevelScaling.esp
NOTE that I have not had the chance (I'm not at home nor does this computer have Oblivion installed) to test this myself so I don't know if it works. But if I understood how the loader works correctly, this plugin overrides the yellow team members from my default mod.
To use this, place the .esp file to your Oblivion\data\ folder and enable JV-ArenaModification-AddLevelScaling.esp from Oblivion launcher. Note that both the normal plugin and this override plugin need to be enabled.
I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm whether this works or not.. Thanks :)
