Lore: Hanging Gardens

⏳🔙 Ready to travel back in time? Discover the origins of the Hanging Gardens! 

The Hanging Gardens was one of the first purpose-built Arenas. It wasn’t a site that started off as something else, it was made from scratch. The risk was huge. No-one knew if Mech sports had mass appeal, and this stadium had to regularly fill its 70,000 seats just to break even. One only needs to see the current 18 month waiting list to see that the gamble paid off. Within the stands, visitors can shop for themed merch, including branded togas, laurel crowns and refresh themselves with the stadium’s snack of choice - garum-topped pizza.

You’ll find the Hanging Gardens Arena on Italy’s west coast, and its architecture takes inspiration from the classical world. For a moment, it’s easy to get lost in time - there’s a roaring brazier at its center, a sandpit fit for gladiator brawling, and ivy-wrapped marble pillars. But that feeling quickly disappears when a high-tech Mech sporting the latest Weapon turns its opponent into scrap metal. Spectators are expected to cheer loudly. Recordings are encouraged. This is no formal, restrained occasion. If you visit, be ready to shout about it.

The Hanging Gardens is also one of the few stadiums that the Mech Arena League actually owns, rather than leases. Because of the freedom that affords, it’s the chosen spot for the yearly Spring Equinox celebration - known as the Garden Party. With a name like that, many expect this event to be raucous, but the Garden Party marks the start of new beginnings. It’s a chance to move past disagreements, let go of grudges, and enter the next season with a fresh attitude. It’s also an opportunity for new alliances to be nurtured and old schemes to be buried.

While the Pilots see themselves as the stars of the show, you can find another legend in the stands of this Arena. Known fondly as ‘Hanging Gardens Hal’, this spectator has attended every match since the stadium first opened. Each time he sits in the same seat, wears the same t-shirt and leads the same chants without fail. Hal is an elderly gentleman, bemused but unaffected by his now-cult status. It’s thought he lives alone and is thrilled to share his love of the sport with others. There’s no doubt that Hal draws his own crowd of fans to this Arena.

You mean to tell everyone, That instead of fixing the match making problum, Let alone all the freezing this game has been doing ever sense you'r update with new mechs & weapons. Your going to add some BS storie about a map? Why don't you fix the game. Can't believe that you have people " your employees " leaving positive comments on here. When you know that there's an on going problem with the game, You rather give some storie and not give answers of what seems to be the reason you'r game isn't working right nor how your going to fix it. Then all of the lie's we get before your download and while downloading this game. what lie's you say. Lest start with Battle friends in-real time,lies.. Deep , Tactical Action,lies.. 5v5 Real time battles,lies " all ways with highly level bots" but they lie .. Constant Progress,lie..." XP caps at 326.400 this part is true" epic rewards,Lies " very rare that the reward are anything you have to upgrad...."specialized pilots " they cost a lot of A-coin.... Here's one that they don't lie about but it's still in the lie part. Team up with friends. Not a lie. But when the game starts. You get matched up against high powered Bots with there weapon max to the max. Take your mech bots out of the game. I'm sure the peopleRather play with real people instead of your bot. Thats why they had downloaded this game to . for the real time with real people . not your bots. they should of stop showing up after a low tier. once that anyplayer is able to join deeathmatch is when the bots should stop showing up. not uprank them. Your game is about to break and stop making anything thats woth it while. But you for sure don't care. Just as long as you keep  getting people with your lies. Why is it that we can scrap our implants but not bots or blueprints or weapons that we don't use or plan to updated. When we dont want them. just fix this game . stop with the cheap ass updates and  your overly expensive price's for non physical product . Fix it right

It just dont seem to bother me anymore then it bothers you " Dev's " O see where the love is. At first I thought you was picking on just me. Because everyone was getting all these mechs and weapons upgrads. But who am I kidding. There  " Dev's " doing it to everyone. You can't rank anything up let alone even a small upgrade. When you do. the bots automatically. If you upgrade . They upgrade higher then you are. Why would they do that. So the can introduce the next product for you to buy and upgrade. But when you do that. The same cycle the same prosses all over again. there bots get stronger for you to buy again. And still. You dont get to play P v P . because there weapons  "  bots weapon "  are maxed out to the pink . the bots also. You see. I'm at the point where im just going to stop playing this game. I'm tired of the lies. Going to start playing a game where I'm really going to play People anot bot. The game is Steel Hunters. Real time against real people not a bot that the dev's make over powerd bots for there greed

The Hanging Gardens are an iconic symbol of ancient engineering and beauty, often associated with lush greenery arranged in tiers. They represent the harmony between architecture and nature, inspiring many modern designs even today. In India, particularly in culturally rich cities like Jaipur, this concept is finding new life. Modern Architects in Jaipur  are blending traditional elements with contemporary designs to create stunning rooftop gardens and vertical green spaces that echo the Hanging Gardens’ essence. These modern interpretations not only enhance aesthetics but also promote sustainability and better air quality. It’s amazing to see how ancient inspirations continue to influence the architectural landscape in meaningful ways.
