Clear and powerful, but varied in their effects. Trimming the fat is going to be a must for Nemelex, I believe, before any changes are going to be made.

I disagree about the core problem. In my opinion, the basic predicament of Nemelex is that the god is built out of a large number of effects. (In your system, these wouldn't be cards, but still be there.) This is problematic for the following reasons: the game has to teach the player about the syst...

First let me address what I believe to be the problem with Nemelex. Cards. More accurately though, inventory/card management. Nemelex is a god of irritating management it seems. He encourages playing tediously in trade for a crazy amount of power. I also see the .15 reform to encourage this behavior...

Koboldlord put down quite nicely what I wanted to say- before the change it was kinda possible to get conjurations without having to sort your decks if you did not mind the occasional ensuing chaos. Now if you want to have conjurations you have micromanage again. Since I strongly disliked that I wa...

I've tried to get into Cataclysm: DDA recently, but was appalled to see how abusive the lead developer(s) was to the fan base. Just in a really angsty juvenile kinda way. Like thinking everyone is out to dog on their "skills" as a programmer. Anyway, I've never seen that with the Crawl com...

So Im assuming theres an EV check then a Rsml check? Or is it the other way around making training dodging less important?

Looks like you're playing a berserker.

So are enemies hiding around corners a lot more in recent versions or am I just worshipping Ash more?

or maybe ``clustering illusion`` :roll:

Mine is probably "as if" or something equally as sassy.

While we're on topic here: how can we get more girls to play Crawl?

hnnngh, this thread make me suffering

I'm sorry, but gender pronouns make me uncomfortable.

The unanimous consent seems to be that trample doesn't do jack shit, when my personal experience leads me to believe otherwise. It isn't that it doesn't do jack shit, it is that if you position yourself properly it basically does jack shit. Yeah, and that's okay. Proper positioning can make a lot o...

I like trample and would not want it gone. Am I the only player who has problems with Elephant packs as melee character? Trampling removes stair-dancing option, I am moved out of stairs more often than not. It is not always possible to retreat upstairs even if you started fighting several tiles awa...

I'm still of the opinion an early game trampler might be interesting. Making it faster than average would be even more interesting. :) But after reading the posts I'll admit maybe it's not the best implementation. I would like to see it happen, if only for a brief ill conceived version of glorious g...

These needs implementation ASAP

The thing is that trample rarely does much to hurt you. In an open area, trample generally forces you back towards safe territory and prevents you from being surrounded. In a close-backed choke point it does nothing. The only two situations where it does something you don't want are when you're try...

Let's get a 2 for 1, make a boring enemy more interesting: What if solo Yaks gained a "panicked" status, where their attacks would then have trample. I like this, but How much of an impact would this really have? It is just a dying yak after all. Maybe some sort of pack mentality where on...

Don't give up so soon! You've got dozens - maybe hundreds - of fruitless games to look forward to, yet! I'm over 150 of 'em, myself. Rock and roll, baby.

Its a right tramplin ram. Grrr.

The crystal ball is great, until it's not. Then it leaves you high and dry on V:5. Clearly a panicked dash towards the stairs wasn't the right move. Farthest I've gotten with a Wz, though it was my first REAL attempt outside of a mummy. This took me SO damn long... I'm done with fragile casters for ...

Goat or boar, where do I go to petition an implementation?

XuaXua wrote:Give goats jumping, make a ram to introduce trampling.

Unless I'm mistaken, jumping doesn't exist outside of player abilities.

Jumping spiders and some undead have blink close and if thats what you mean.

You could also give it jumping. I'm saving that for rabbits. I'm also planning on making a spin-off called Crawlville where all enemies are farm animals. :lol: In all seriousness though, would that be necessary? The idea here is to introduce a mechanic to a player not to confuse them further. I can...

A tier-3 demon called a Fiendling? That would be neat. Maybe give it might other or haste other, something like that. It might not need those other things, really. One of the main ideas behind the Demon Pit portal vault was as a way to showcase the low-tier demons at a depth where someone might sti...

In the vein of early versions of end-game mechanics: I know in the past someone (I think crate?) suggested that it would be useful to have an earlier introduction to torment, but that this was problematic since most of the pre-extended game is full of natural monsters that would be susceptible to i...

How the hell did I forget about goats? Fantastic.

If I might jump back on track(ish) here, couple of questions: 1. Is the idea of showing more than one enemy per tile taboo in Crawl? IE A cluster of small red imps on a tile 2. I assume the monster that showcases trample early on should be natural and of average speed? Something like a buffalo or, j...

Yeah, Ive never noticed this either.
Whether or not you have rElec is the only thing that really matters.
