Hello! The changes you're describing are the intended color settings, which most console players have been using for over a decade. Your old colors were the result of crawl defaulting to a compatibility mode for extremely ancient/limited terminals. To revert to the old settings, just set allow_exten...

Posted, thanks! If you give me a name or nickname for your friend, I can edit the post to give them proper credit.

uskayaw is (a) perfectly pronounceable and (b) a reference to an actual relevant word in malaysian (?), iirc hepliaklqana is 100% indulgence on my part, but i put quite a lot of work into getting the god running, so i will forgive myself. you are, of course, free to make your own judgement on the ma...

A) 3d(3 + pow/6). For reference, fireball is 3d((10 + pow/2)/3)... so essentially the same damage, but not elementally resistible.
B) No.
C) No.
D) Same as with other sources of malmutate: player undead take stat damage, monster undead are unaffected. Unfair!

i suggested it, but people felt like it'd overlap too much with formicids, thematically.

if you're injured, walk away from every new monster you see to heal up before fighting it

TrumpTrain.

some of them (the ones with the coolest effects) turned into wands, one of them turned into a misc item, some of them are just gone.

the effects were (and are) cool, but the ui wasn't very good.

here's the thing: i agree with the premise that dex's effect on weapon accuracy is pretty irrelevant. but i think that dex is in a good place vs the other stats right now - i don't think dex needs to be stronger - and, as discussed, i'd really rather not punish non-dex chars with high miss rates. so...

You devils could have just let deep dwarves regen naturally... preserving his main design

wow, you weren't kidding

frogs aren't a reskin of elves, you goofs

People have suggested this sort of thing before, yeah! You can see discussion e.g. here or, to a lesser extent, here.

high miss rates are also really, really unfun. proof: Battle for Wesnoth

If this had a meaningful impact, it seems like it'd strongly discourage people from picking str at level-ups.

only natural holiness monsters can go berserk, i think?

I agree that curse skull casting text should not be "rattle". I don't remember how curse toe casting is described, but I wouldn't expect a toe to have a mouth. Toes 'gesture', which i guess means bending at the joint? Who knows, it's Zot. Also, note that silenceability is explicitly menti...

this is to teach the player an important lesson about optimal play.

i thought it was supposed to be a "vaporize low-EV monsters" attack

i think beetle-hats are just the thing frogs need to really 'pop'... the perfect finishing touch

hrm, turns out there was a very specific reason manuals turned red. not reverting yet, but will have to mull this over further...

Good old Nemelex panic draw Degeneration.

iirc, a lot of the poly'd gastronoks come from Xom

i've seen a lot of people describe CoE as roguelike or roguelike-like, but i don't think i really see it. it's just another fantasy 4x, like warlock: master of the arcane, etc, etc.

it's a fun little game, but very random.

OK, done.

So then whats the real reason for removing High Elves? If I had to guess, I'd say High elves were a relatively uninteresting species in terms of gameplay, feeling somewhat like tengu but with weapon specialization like merfolk. Especially with Ogres now also having newly-improved casting apts, ther...

tbf, i think this overlapped with their 'giant clubs & large rocks & also the large rocks pierce' phase.

iirc some console players said that dark blue text was hard to read on their screens? someone find a console player to confirm/deny; i'll change it if it's not a problem.

It amuses me that people think adding Frogs is a move away from traditional fantasy fare. Bullywogs from D&D, Slann from Warhammer. Or that Formicids are somehow super new and what not, *cough* thri-kreen *cough* *cough* playable in dark sun *cough*. They changed the name of Tengu from Kenku bu...

Necromancers and Fedhas, basically.

i can't tell what irony level this thread is on

Yeah, no, frog race is totally unrelated. They were actually the very first thing i attempted to code for crawl, back in early 2014... got distracted and forgot about them for a while, but gammafunk ended up reminding me about them more recently. Maneater Frogs have strong Theme, and certain devs se...

Well that looks familiar, interesting to see that concept spun as a player race https://github.com/Implojin/crawl/commit/3e707a5e81350dac07020a708decf106b1f7e116 Whoa, I've never seen this branch! Very cool to see someone trying to design monsters - it's been a weird constant of recent forks (even ...

Online players certainly haven't. Offline, who can say?

fo with large rocks wouldn't break the game, but i don't see any particular reason to give them it, either.

pretty sure it matters insofar as /haste is totally irrelevant

and also insofar as invis, tele, blink, damage/hex wands, etc etc etc do exist

i like it. done

While I am talking in general, Naga needs that wand of hasting to survive early game. What are you going to do when you are pursued by a pack of gnolls with distortion weapon or a couple of ogres? Fight with low AC/EV and hope nothing bad happens? Isn't haste the only GUARANTEED way to avoid death ...

easy is a playstyle.

remember when we made elemental evocables stack, and then people started annihilating cerebov with endless phial blasts

wand stacking would be exactly like that, but for wand of flame instead

still true, btw

this is silliness.

what problem would this solve?

How on earth did naga/chei get nerfed? I'm stumped.

If we lower Lichform to 7, then we should have an amazing transmutation form to top out the class. Lowering lichform's level is kind of irrelevant; if there should be an "awesome top-tier transmutation", lichform already doesn't serve that role! anyway, the answer is that dragon form exis...

Remove Formicid giant club wielding, reduce shield penalties, apt tweaks Giant spiked clubs were stronger than other weapons to such a degree that they commonly eclipsed the more unique formicid mechanic of using a two-hander with a shield.

also worth noting that crawl does have some peer review, both from devs reading code before and as it's pushed, and from people in the community watching our backs . it's certainly not perfect, and a system where e.g. two people have to 'sign off' on each commit (the author + the committer) would pr...

Code standards, there's a reason why code in industry isn't a shit show, because it gets peer reviewed.
