That's not what killed me, though. I just relaxed/got a bit bored. But yes, I'm not very fond of that stuff.

This is my second serious melee char try after oghu(that used gsc mostly) and I'm quite satisfied, but I got a bit too relaxed after killing trj, also everything was dying easily, so I didn't expect that I would be unable to tab through a bunch of jellies.

Why would you use cboe anyway, when you have at least staff of energy, which does only good things and works from 0 evo? But tarantellas will be scary for my mus.

I'm playing MuEn^gozag, again. I think a quickblade of chaos is the craziest thing I've ever had. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.18-a0-175-ge4b0c45 (tiles) character file.

Hi, I'm trying MuEn of Gozag and I invoked a store with the sceptre of torment for 3480 gold. Should I buy it asap and also should I train staves to mindelay? I assume it should be pretty incredible until/unless I go for an extended game? I could also buy the dagger of chilly death since it's the be...

I had a dream about having sex with myself. That felt gay.

This switch to TSO with a stabber is probably the weirdest thing I have ever seen :D Well, I've done switches to TSO with a stabber a couple of times for a hw quickblade. You just clear crypt and it's yours. And it's not like you can't stab undead with confusion or a very high stealth, that works e...

Hm, last time I cast haunt on cerebov(I think) in like 0.10 or 0.11 it held him back quite ok while I was running away with a cursed amulet of stasis on me.

Maybe you stacked too much invisibility(if it stacks) from chaos? I would just read ?vuln if there is one somewhere.

I think I read somewhere, that if servitor does nothing, if you tell him to 'wait here'(t,w) then he might engage into fighting monsters in LoS. I also think that summons don't attack until being attacked, even if you have have monsters in your LoS, because their main default action is follow you by...

Isn't kiku an ok god even for a beginner? Pain brand is quite awesome and most 3-rune(or 4) game monsters can be easily killed with it. Or you can send undead armies at your foes. If you train enough of necromancy you get some strongest emergency spells eventually and kiku even protects you from mis...

It's all in macros and remapping, once you learn how to use that (and that takes just a couple minutes) you can freely change you main autospells and have any number of those within seconds. for example I usually have about 4 auto spells on f1-f5(one of them being a remapped o): one for an escape sp...

I just think that it might be interesting to try especially if you can balance that with other abilities. Permamark will force you to not make noise(otherwise I'm pretty sure you'll die fast), not just encourage it the way the game does it, which might me an interesting challenge and a new experienc...

I think permamark would be interesting to try out, but you should probably make them very stealthy, maybe even give prompts on noisy actions, because it can easily get them killed. Maybe give them a special ability to help them if they mess up, like dispersal or hd-based sleep/paralysis or something...

Besides teleportitis it can probably give berserkitis, horns/antennae that will restrict helmets, fraility, etc. I probably wouldn't want any of those even if they come with something good. There is a very high probablity of acquiring one of those, because the chance is about 1/4.

confirm_butcher = never

Wands aren't required (throw/fire stuff, or wait until it runs out of shots and approaches you, you did know they have a limited number right?) I said that the monster is faster, so I was talking about porcuperines, did you read my post carefully? I'm not really sure what you mean by "EV focus...

Evolution can give you stuff like teleportitis, at least that's what happened to me. So I don't think it's a very good mutation.

I've already pretty much resigned myself to this (imo useless,sorry, because I've never been confused by racial items) update, but flavour is not "no gain". Oh well...

I don't think that it's minor, for me flavour is very important. Maybe we could at least have orcish and elven tiles on armour found on those, but it would be called the same and the description would be the same? You know, like cloaks, robes, etc. look differently on the character doll.

in my recent trunk games amnesia is rare as it is

If haste is to be 7 spell level it would be unfair to fighter types. But I think it should not be a spell, like I said. Now this is the case where "no-brainer" is an appropriate word to use. I think it should be a wand spell, like heal and teleportation, to actually make decisions instead ...

I like the spell, but I don't think that haste should exist as one, tbh.

What if the chance of hitting the monster would be displayed in it's description? This clarity would be somewhat not characteristic for the traditional crawl, but since we have spell fail chance displayed, why not? The relative damage is quite easy to find out and so is the chance to hit, by making ...

Moreover, I'm quite sure most jewellery auto-identifies even if you have the mutation with the same property in the current trunk. I think since it's apparent with the simplification if read-identifying that the development goes by the way of eliminating annoying and pointless stuff, it's time to sa...

crate wrote:I might suggest letting them overwrite existing brands

I like this idea and I wanted to suggest it, too.

You can burn all your ew1 scrolls to make a +9 blowgun - a very powerful tool. That's what I often do.

I haven't read everything, but I think spines should be removed, because it's troll that you HAVE to fight a monster since it's faster, but you hurt yourself doing so if you don't use wands, but it's not strong enought to encourage using wands, so you end up almost inevitably hurting yourself and pu...

I don't know if you are serious, but the first sentence in the op was meant to be said jokingly. I wasn't actually trying to be disrespectful and I hope no one is offended. I was just in a kind of rowdy mood. I'm sorry, ok?

but I think we're probably not missing out on all that much Usually yes, but this time there is the new 9lv ice/conj spell(that I wanted to try out for 2 weeks) that replaces ice storm, some bugs fixed, removal of the racial stuff, read-ID now works differently - you know what you have read and can...

Of course dck couldn't pass by without leaving a spiteful comment. "Huge jerk", huh. This is even funny. Sorry, that was all my bad. I wouldn't mind if this thread would be locked, to avoid further mess. I don't insist, though

The problem has already been solved for me, no need for your lame late sarcasm.

Hi, guys! rchandra has shared this newbie friendly guide for compiling crawl on windows. I'm in the process of following it. e: it worked! Very simple, but takes some time, like 30 minutes or more. Be careful if you get errors, because if something fails to download, it can mess everything up, so st...

I want to try out glaciate and webtiles are unbearable because of the latency.

Did you use a vampiric qb in slimes? It's very useful for keeping you at full health even if you are bloodless. You are with kiku, though. At least I've cleared slimes with a Vampire's Tooth and I always stayed at full health if I was careful(fighting 1 dangerous jelly at a time, sleep-stabbing gree...

Since you've mentioned gold, I'll share my experience about it. I don't know if this is the right way, but I always buy all unidentified magic/artifact items like armour pieces and weapons of the category I use. Magical items are by default are more useful than vanilla items and artifacts have a cha...

Why not just give more exp?

why didn't you go to slimes?

you can clear elf:1-2(run if you meet a sorc or demonologist), maybe elf:3 outside the vault, some more of D, maybe. Invisibility or spells(e: ranged spells like conjurations or maybe even enchantments) for shoals if possible, maybe a good polearm you can use without skill invesment for sirens? Some...

but that's...

Actually, my initial idea was just that the cap should be proportiopnal to the MP apt, at least. But it's easy to realise that there is no actual need for a cap. Still, if making a natually gradual growth of MP go to reasonable amounts is more complicated than I think, the cap can stay and just be p...

Code:: Last updated 2014-02-26

Yeah, we are not fixed on that formula, like bcadren said. The point is to make mp apt relevant at higher levels. As I'm seing mp aptitude, as it most of the time counterbalanced by hp aptitude, species with a higher mp aptitude are made this way to rely more on mp to make up for a lower hp apt, so ...

Yes, the idea is that DE get -20% hp and no particular advantage from +30% mp later in the game when they hit the cap. I'm not sure that that formula works, but I think DE should cap at 64 mp or something(or not cap at all, because I don't see much point in stepping down those 9mp from rings), for +...

snakesoul wrote:Fire Storm for sure, right? And what about the rest?

I doubt that he has Veh's wizardry alright?

He looks new and he's asking about spells. I'm pretty sure he's playing a blasty mage, like a lot of new players like to, if they choose to play a mage. Also, he's a DECj of Vehumet.

Go for PArrow and you won't miss (don't overtrain poison, though). Then for LCS for resistant guys.

wrong subforum

I can't play this old crawl, I want all the new stuff! THANK YOU (no, I don't wanna compile anything myself)

Being able to choose items for enchantment from your inventory? Yes, please!
Knowing what you have just read? Yes, please!

When someone asks me what god is good for foo, I think of gods that boost their abilities and not just strong by themselves gods like fed or mak(or trog, but not in this case) otherwise it's an answer to a question "what god is strong" and "for foo" is ignored. So Oka comes to mi...
