Just noticed the new builds, thank you very much for working still on Crawl Light.

I agree for the food/hunger , it's probably the only thing i don't like in Crawl, how hunger is too important on the gameplay, i would prefer to focus on battles and the tactical aspect instead of having to butcher everything and eat each 5 minutes to keep my character from going hungry constantly (...

little bump on that gem. I have been playing since a few hours with this and i was surprised to like this variant a very lot. Thank you very much for having shared it. Crawl Light with its specific changes gives a completely different gameplay, much more coffee breaker than the long dedicaced runs o...

How sad.
Thanks for the reply.

I really wish I could see stuff like monster's hp, or especially my damage on every hit , not just comments like "you hit em hard" I have enabled this for wizard mode. No more needed to suffer the debug spam just to see the damage numbers. Hello, I downloaded a window tile version of trun...

DM : You arrive in a dark dungeon, there are small sounds that makes you cautious. DM : just in front of you is a big rat with obviously hostile intent. Player : I attack that rat with my short sword. DM : You miss and the rat hits you , you just lost 3 health. Player : But i didn't used any dice !...

Just my opinion on a raw differentiation (no gimmicks) between living, zombies and skeletons for a same monster Quickness: skeletons > living > zombies Hardness: zombies > living > skeletons Damage: living > zombies = skeletons ? If think it is very good. Simple but efficient at giving each version...

Is it possible that the monsters AI face the same situations as a player : drinking an unknown potion (for the better or the worst) as a last resort when facing a near death situation (same as reading an unknown scroll too) , or are the monsters always 100% using only identified items ?

Would it be possible to have a killed harpy actually dropping the food that was stolen by it ? this way it gives a chance to the player to actually get back his possession if he didn't teleported away (maybe having the harpy actually eating the food after a specific amount of turns to give a sense o...

Mentionning that, is there any difference of power between :
-a large abomination created from 3 yaks
-a large abomination created from 6 dragons

Thank you, it was just in time for my first conquest of the orb in the tournament (and that is additionally my first win ever online) http://i.imgur.com/91JKes.jpg http://i.imgur.com/P2EDHs.jpg So happy , Webtiles has been really great during my playtime ;)

Is there a limit on the amount of people playing Webtiles ?

It looks like when there's around 15 or a bit more players, i get the "websocket connection was closed" message , or i get the player list but there's no name/password entry anymore.

Yes, early in the current tournament i made the mistake to forget the "never make a stash on Lair:1, make it in Lair:2". Result, at some point i went back to my stash to get some objects to prepare for a branch and i found 4 jelly that had spawned on Lair:1 while i was away. And obviously ...

thank you both, i thought the piety gain/loss was a definite value and not randomized, it explains certainly some of the things i observed (sometime gaining a faith rank quick, sometime very slowly), and i didn't count on the multiple gifts piety losses

As i'm currently playing a trog follower and have survived a branch ending floor thanks to Brother in Arms, i'm wondering as Crawl is unfortunately very imprecise in term of how much faith you have exactly and the exact costs of divine abilities, unlike spellcasting and your magic point that you can...

I don't spectate and while playing i have not got any virus warning when using a portable version of the Iron browser (same as chrome but without privacy concerns). But i guess the problem with WebTiles is that it is using websockets that is a security risk due to it having many vulnerabilities and ...

I'm currently using Webtiles to play the tournament and i find it fine (though i miss a lot the Tiles interface functionality) on the portable version of the Iron browser (that's basically Chrome but without the google data mining) i'm using specifically for this to not mess up with my actual browse...

I often noticed that either my character can't find anything really good until at least midgame (well for the most lucky ones that didn't die before that), while sometime i find very good equipment and items before Lair (and those are usually the characters that survive a lot longer than usual).

Nice to know that regeneration mutation does not cause hunger, it saved my Deep Elf so many times that i didn't wanted to drink one of my cure mutation potion even despite the -10% health , fearing that bad luck would keep the -10% health and delete my regeneration 2. If it does not increase nutriti...

About the regeneration, i seem to have a problem with hunger and i can't find if it is related to it : I have read on the bot that : The regeneration mutations conflict with slow metabolism, but do not otherwise affect your nutrition. I am currently playing a Deep Elf Air Elementalist, and this lead...

lesson of today : Don't think that because your human gladiator is doing extremely good in close combat with some nice items, and have killed several slime creature that suddenly you can decide to fight them in a corridor without a problem. You're just forgetting they will merge together in such sit...

NetTile, out of a few bugs with misinterpreted tiles sometime, was very enjoyable to me, so much that i played the whole tournament last year with it. Even if i understand that a real online function for the tile version of Crawl and its amazing interface can only be a dream for a far future if at a...

I played many time mummy Chaos Knight of Makhleb, and i can't remember a single time in which i used Greater/Major Destruction, not because it's too random in how many time it hit (until you have a high invocation), but simply because it is costing piety. When people play with Maklheb, more likely i...

I like Hive personnally and don't find it boring because it's a branch that serves as a good revenge against those bees, for all the time you met some of them or worse a nest and had too low level/bad items/bad health to be able to fight two or more without serious chance of being dead in the end :)...

I played several time a Mummy Chaos Knight of Maklheb and usually had some nice result with this combo. While at first a Mummy does not seem to be the best choice because it has trouble with the invocation skill learning (it's -2 ), the fact is that unlike most other species the Mummy can spam Minor...

The way it is presented in both this thread and in the brainstorm page, i think it is truly an excellent idea, as it adresses indeed a part of Crawl that is too opaque to the player, leading often in some frustration in term to weapon choices in comparison to skill level/bonus/malus/brand, on the vi...

Most of my Crawl games are played with : Kobold : nice for his ability to eat anytime he wants when you wants to play it as a caster so it can fight spell hunger at anytime, and always fun to throw poisonned things (and use blowguns) with it. Spriggan : very fun to play as a sleep caster/i stab you ...

Demigods : dull gameplay, too slow to progress , no religion power, no flavor. Hopefully some of the many very interesting ideas on the brainstorm pages will one day make it into Crawl, it would make the specie finally interesting. Halfling : play the same as Kobold, but unlike Kobold they can't eat...
