Yeah and a while ago it was possible to go much farther and set exclusions way outside those current boundaries. For now simply allowing to go 5-10 tiles farther then the current boundaries would resolve this issue and restore that old functionality, which for me is largely about directing auto-expl...

I guess "X" was not obviously referring to shift+x but it was. In webtiles (dunno about console), shift-x (or "X") will stop scrolling at the last seen tile in any direction. What prompted me to post was I met with pikel's pack, saw a slave, put an exclusion on it, but couldn't s...

I used to be able to set exclusions outside the known bounds of the level, but I can't do it anymore. Can the range for "X" be increased by a few tiles outside of known range? I mean, the "X" cursor can't go more up then the most up tile I've seen yet. The problem is if there's a...

So I just got one of the best human wanderer start I ever got so you know what that means... post post post post post... Anyway, with 12-12-12 stats and those items Hand Weapons e - a +0 club (weapon) Armour c - a +0 buckler (worn) d - a +0 robe (worn) Books a - a book of Minor Magic b - the Collect...

I found the sentence too elegant not to share.

Hi, I usually use an older web browser for reasons, and whenever I go to webtiles with it the playfield (the tiles) doesn't appear at all, just the various text parts of the game screen. All I need to do to fix this is use a recent web browser to actually play, but it wouldn't be a bad thing if the ...

I was thinking of something similar the other day, my idea was to count rod enchant as evoc skill for rod use including rod hunger, and rod hunger becoming capped at (evoc+rod enchant)=(rod spell level *4). Like this a level 6 rod spell would become hunger free at (evoc+enchant)=24, for example 18ev...

Why would you equip wings in your tits slut?

I'm having trouble imagining the concept. Care to illustrate?

Invisibility makes ghost moths unable to drain you and wands/rods snipe spectres.

You can also make vampire wizard of sif, and go summoner and/or conjurer depending on how you feel, it's quite safe and very effective.

My very first online game years ago. I didn't know the keyboard commands yet since I had only played local tiles with mouse before. I found a pair of gloves right away. I 'w'ielded it instead of 'W'earing it, replacing my weapon. I died to the first monster I ever fought online trying to wimp slap it.

Amnesia+books is really good because i lets me juggle my spell list at will for whatever situation. If I worship sif i'll typically rather different spell lists for the different areas. It's a strategy I can't do with any other god that's both fun and effective, to put most of my xp in conjuration, ...

I don't remember ever ever ever running close to out of remove curse after lair+orc unless I did tomb/hells. But most of my games I wish I had more before lair so I could play with floor thrash while it's actually treasure.

Dog evolve into dog.

The effect of complete control of all stat allocations would mean for me on final stats: 15-20 in strength, 20-30 in intelligence, rest in agility. In other words, I estimate that stat allocations would not be much different then what they are right now except an average of 3-5 less strength split b...

Ummm I'd be happy if orc was more interesting, but making it too much harder would be pretty sad for all the guys that go to orc before completing lair (either because orc spawned early and lair late, because of a roadblock in lair, for shops, or whatever else). I'd say around 1 in 4 of my games I c...

Note that if there is one space between you and an enemy that moves the same speed as you, and you move away from it, it can't kill you on that turn, it *could* move one square closer to you (which might ultimately lead to your death) but it can't kill you on that turn if you move away from it. Thi...

Real world example of the death that caused this thread: there was 1 space between me and a speed 10 enemy that could do up to ~40 damage while I had ~35 hp. In the other direction about 15 spaces away was a staircase up. The choice I did was cast swiftness to make certain energy randomization would...

The reason I made this thread was because this game rule has a very small chance to be extremely unfun in a way that's completely outside what the player can know. There's something like a 1-3% chance of a same speed enemy getting 2 actions while I get 1 action without any kind of indication it's ab...

I throw stones or use magic dart whenever I really try hard to win. Not for every fight, just for when it matters, but then they make a pretty big difference. I also read in a different thread a few days ago that shooting needles is like throwing stones/casting magic dart but better but havent tried...

After playing a lot of games of 0.15, I just wanna add that it's super weird to talk into zot with 20+ cures, 10+ heal wounds, 5+ invisibles, and 5+ haste potions, and it massively reduces the usefulness of the wands. Overall, I found it also reduced the difficulty of the game by a fair amount. I di...

Lots of good posts in the thread linked in first post worth reading. Basically, either energy randomization should be in or should be out, no need for other options.

Question is, is the game better with or without?

Hello again energy randomization. Many threads on this subject, including this one: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11722 . I'm not going to write another million words on this subject, my take is pretty simple. I consider this mechanic makes the game less fun. Been playing a...

Ok just a bit more feedback now that i've played 3 characters with this god on 0.15 . First was human conjurer casting clouds, described above, had a hard time through lair, but was so sickening OP once clouds were online had to quit from lack of fun. Second was human wizard picking up a bow, again ...

personal comments on god: - optimal play with running and abusing cloud generation and immunity is boring but unbelievably effective. contrary to earlier poster who say he kill i use it to stay safe and run, it is super great for escaping. this is what i did until next point - cloud god + cloud spel...

I agree that crate's solution would make battlesphere much more balanced but it would make it much less fun too. If buffs that reduce max MP while active ever happen battleshpere could use that system, otherwise I worry that any solution will reduce it's fun more then anything else.

Snow does not like Flame.

how about merging sif and trog reason: they're my OTP That's a great idea. New god name: Zorg. Player gets books, ability to throw burning books, zorgs hand tickles enemy into confusion, all spells cast cause miscasts but player unaffected by miscasts, last ability summons berserk ball lightnings.

I figured constriction is a movement debuff more then anything now. Seems to do that ok. Nothing wrong with adding a skill to tentacled if they need something, as long as it's not anything frustrating. They could throw mini tentacles at you to slow your movement by 0.1 aut for example, that might be...

I make a new account every time i forget my password. Hence the number at the end of this current forum name. i think i've had over 20 game+forum accounts over the years, and I can barely remember my latest game/forum name/password.

you misspelled your own name

it's not "T"welwe

it's "t"welwe

Abyss decision flowchart:

a) if low hp/mp and no enemy, then rest and pray
b) if a present enemy is faster than player, then fight and pray
c) run and pray
d) if exit/rune found, take it, else goto a)

The other day I scratched by butt and some skin came off.

thank

It was also a good dig spell. And a good anti invis spell. And a good create blockers spell for conjurers.

NOOOOOOOOO.

ps:thanks for info

Schwa, I suspect you may have misunderstood the OP.

The only change I'd like to see on elementals is being able to use summon elemental on ice clouds to summon water elementals, possibly making them immune to ice clouds. They're the only elementals that aren't available for easy summon after all.

Imagine that. I was busy doing a thing, when suddenly, an altar happened.

Those buttons. Did you see those buttons. You want to push those buttons. You need to push those buttons. All. The. Time. Ain't no such thing as enough arrows to fuel the button mashing. edit: also, esfu much too clever for your silly tricks. You swallow up a pile of 10 arrows? Well you gained 10 pi...

I just though of a way to fix a crippling weakness of this god. Imagine a crafty player dumping his entire stass on the group and then syphoning it back in. He would expect the drop to get his piety to 0, and then the syphon to bring it back to full. But esfu is more clever then that. Piety lost by ...

esfu: Eat Shit, god of Fuck You When joined or come back to an esfu game, you will be greeted by "Eat Shit, Fuck You". On Join : gain stass On Leave: stass dropped Piety: - +1: put item in stass - -1: remove item from stass On get hit, if it really hurt, if number of ! is greater or equal ...

It's been a super long while but I seem to remember the magic steps needed to get an orbiting orb around some speed 10 smuck is start 2 up 3 right, shoot orb at smuck, move right, move down-left, move up-left, move down-left, move left. The area needed for the dance is around 10 high by 12 wide, wit...

Do you even know how gods work????? Urg, you gotta work on your communications skill. Bart definitely knows his crawl. He just doesn't enjoy demigods and is trying to find a way to enjoy them. And considering this topic comes up every couple of weeks he's not the only one. Anyway, so far suggestion...

The big issue with the part of your proposal about getting other races to become demigods by not taking a god is that the increased stats and hp wouldn't be there before lair, and they are a massive advantage there and make that part of the game I've played hundreds of times much more interesting. ...

I guess I should post some since demigods are my favorite and most played race. I love playing them because they have no god and they have increased stats and increased HP. The big issue with the part of your proposal about getting other races to become demigods by not taking a god is that the incre...

Hummmmmmm chocolate. Now to figure out who's wife she is. edit: according to google this is "wearing chocolate pudding" http://www.oprahmag.co.za/var/oprah/storage/images/media2/images/gert-johann-coetzee-wearing-pink-shirt-april-2012/431634-1-eng-GB/gert-johann-coetzee-wearing-pink-shirt-...

When I discovered this change I was in snake5 in the middle of the ambush. I just wanted to finish off the ones next to me so I could go back upstairs. I read the scroll. They all got inner fired. One of them was standing in a flame cloud and died. Before I got another turn ~20 nagas had died, and I...

Urg. Thats like. You come home. Walk to your room. Find a hot girl on your bed. She's wearing a scarf and a bit of pudding. She asks if you're up for hot sex. She's your wife. You call your mom to ask her what to do.

Comon!!!
