Well I just meant the gaurantee would no longer be there, that's all. I think legendaries with 27 evo and no nemelex gaurantee P1.

Also, I think berserkitis only triggers on attacking? So berserkitis may even be a good thing since it soudns like your wizard uses melee as a last resort. I could be totally wrong.

I've started making guides-by-level at crawl wiki here: http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?t ... r_Building (mid and late game as well)

This should tell you how to skill.

I think an interesting idea is to hoard decks with tomb and elixir cards with nemelex, stack them, and burn through the entire deck leaving tomb/elixir as the last card. Nemelex shuffles decks upon leaving him, but this shuffling would theoretically do nothing if it's the last card. So you could a h...

Alright I'll check that out advanced system care thing out. Definately had enough torubleshooting for today, though.

Well, basically we had and old router and just recently bought a new one. With that old one, the connection slowly died more and more each day on that computer, eventually going out for days at a time and finally going kaput. The new router doesn't fare any better. I suppose it could mean something ...

Okay, so I've wasted about 4 hours on tech support, I wonder if any of you tech savvy people can figure my problem. Basically, the computer in my house refuses to get wireless internet working consistently at all. After initially setting it up, it worked, then it failed after restarting computer, an...

If you don't care about the power boost past 100 from the ring then you shouldn't care about getting that 100 power from skills in the first place. But that's the point I'm making, rings are hard to use before that point due to the resist annoyance. They would be most useful by mid-game, but you wo...

Admittedly, people might be exaggerating the problem, but it's more like nothing will be lost and convenience will be gained. I can't think of corpse sacrificing as even being that flavorful. It's lamer than book-gifting, and book-gifting is at least a necessity as it provides the spells needed for ...

Spell power past 100 is a milestone not too hard to get by rune-pickup time, so an end-game ring only improves damage by +12.5%. I suppose a fair amount, but I'd stick to nuking elemental resistants with iron bolt and IOOD. I guess they're good for mass-fiend smashing but I don't see them as useful ...

I think the resist drops are actually a major problem. These rings are fairly useless for end-game, since only spell success tends to matter once you get 8/9 level spells, and in the mid-game you can't cover resist weaknesses well. Maybe if there were a ring of earth or conjuration I'd use them for ...

Still, auto sac sounds extremely easy to code, rebalancing every single god that uses sacrficing is not. Nemelex and Fedhas seem like the only remotely difficult cases to me, honestly. Trog is overpowered in a 3-runer and as is, so just cutting sacrifices would probably benefit his balance there. O...

Yeah general snake is easy with rPois (well .9 snake anyways), BUT they get some NASTY uniques. I've seen mara, nikola, and Mennas all in one branch run.

Just add on the monster examine a string saying roughly how much damage it does and it's highest possible hit points In believe that is the " dangerous " line, which is determined dynamically in comparison to the player. I'm not really sure this is good enough. In fact, having it be deter...

Yup, sun tzu says it best.

The main gripe about a one species god is if it''s too powerful, than that species only plays that god, if it's not powerful, than countless hours of programming are wasted on something hardly anyone's going to use. Beogh sorta ended on the less powerful side, so it's not a problem so much as a mild...

It's Yet Another Succesful Dungeoneering!

Not to mention having a 200 HP spriggan with speed3 sounds a bit over the top, or a hill orc that's undead to boot.

Maybe that idea's on the right track, but it's not quite there.

Edit: Or a hill orc with 9 lives :lol:

Taking the issue to its logical conclusion, we really only need two monsters for the entire game: the abomination, and the wizard abomination. Since all monsters currently in the game and also all monsters that could hypothetically be in the game can all be reduced in concept to either sacks of hp ...

Yeah me too

Beogh shouldn't have been created, but there's no reason to really take it out as far as I can tell.

I think trying to keep crawl from being spoiler reliant is a lost cause. Here's some things that will kill you outright mid and late game without spoilers, and are completely unintuitive. -Not knowing Liches can have paralysis or crystal spear -Not knowing any of a dozen monsters with banishment -No...

Ah shoot, sorrry I guess this was a 10.0 thing, nevermind.

I gotta agree with Jeremiah here, I think it'd be best to separate them just for information and everything sake. Chaos knights were split for what I'm guessing is the same reason?

Yeah but I'm not really getting it. You can just as easily wear your shield for one rat, then take it off, and keep only shields skill on till you can use your shield. I must be missing something.

Sure, but you can be bigger in size with bigger tentacles :/

I can't see a giant squid being worse at constricting than a squid a few feet long.

Actually, not really sure the wiki was even wrong here. Decks DO work by weighting, and I'm pretty sure the wiki doesn't suggest trying to game the deck system.

Edit; That mummy wizard guide was written by a self-proclaimed newbie if you read the intro, though.

Or why not actually have them do what the text reads :/ Higher success rates is usually far superior to spellpower.

Toady one's next triumph: Slaves of Armok III: Dwarves in China. Insane communist wizard dwarves fight for survival.

Edit: wait nevermind, that's dwarf fortress.

Moanerette wrote:Even with the +5 armour buff? That was the reason I was using it.

Yup, protection is even an inferior brand for a weapon for a berserker. Not so much on a shield or ring, though.

Nope, lair entrance can be anywhere from 8-13.

Also, as a troll, never pick up a weapon and never wear gloves (if they even can). Just claw claw claw. So that quarterstaff is crap.

Far more rare is the Mail Male...

What that's just a Mail Man.

Gratz!

I've heard food management is annoying in .10, but it has:

-more sensible skilling
-shorter abyss
-no need for distortion weapons when going to pan
-cool new ways to die (consriction)
-(octopodes)

So I think I'm gonna make the switch myself.

While you can win the game without spells (e.g. Berserker/Trog), it is not possible to win without using scrolls/wands/god abilities (at least I don't think you can). Ring of teleport, ring of teleport control, potions of speed, amulet of rage. Yeah you could :P I actually kinda wonder what the bar...

Nah. Snoring beetle . Geddit? :/

Technically this could be done with a non-mummy, though.

Wow, I'm the only one here who drinks coke :O (and occasionally water/juice)

As far as gold goes, it varies from player to player. All players should dump gold into an emergency high-tier wand if they have none, should get any potions that are useful, etc. That weapon, however, really isn't that useful compared to the gold it costs. You'll probably find a halfway decent bran...

Well spam just recently got fixed. Somebody made took out the wiki's auto register and eventually it's supposed to have a more permanent fix for spam.

Eh, don't like the feed idea, too convoluted. Better would just be scale by level.

Nice job! Yeah don't fret about not getting far with a vampire. Since you're basically forced into bloodless from lack of corpses you really can't afford a god like sif muna, at least that's my impression.

Well at the moment I'm most concerned with innacurate/longwinded data. The dev wiki sorely needed what you've done XuaXua, but I don't think the chaosforge wiki has such extreme organization problems. If someone actually has the time, page renaming is definately needed, though, but I have no idea ho...

What the OP is trying to say is that it's too luck based to make Ash a reliable starting god. If skill boost being too powerful is a problem, I'd reduce the skill gain at low piety. Edit:Actually I had the most awesome idea. Ash should curse your current equipment upon worship. This retains mid/late...

Keep in mind, as far reducing the game to o, aa, tab, tab, repeat is concerned, auto-X is no different from outright removing a feature. Both simplify the game, auto-X does it less so.

Still, auto sac sounds extremely easy to code, rebalancing every single god that uses sacrficing is not. Even if sac removal is a conceivable goal, I don't see how adding in auto sac is that harmful.

Okay, I've just made the "basic" character building strategy, divided into three categories. Please add your comments directly to the page (or flat out change things if you're better than me): http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Early_Game_Tips http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php...

I think strategy, something that's quite frankly boring for a veteran, is something newbies struggle with. Crawl isn't like the standard RPG where strategy is usually summed up with "do whatever you'd expect for a warrior or a mage". Death in mid-game screams not knowing which god to choos...

That's a fair point, it's not like auto-pickup-chunks every annoyed me, except when using IOOD

The MuWz was pretty bad before I chopped it up. It was so long it literally gave the 32 kilobyte warning while editing. For a page that could probably be summed up with "learn meph, go kiku, go sif"

I think the problem is unless it were unbalancing good, people would still pick wands. If weapon acquirement improvement wants to see the light of day, wand of teleport and wand of hasting need to be taken out.
