Re: Beetle enemy idea

I thought about this a little and I came up with two solutions.
First is reflection ability but it does not solve the problem with the ease of avoiding a fight.
Second is short distant attack with acid or fire. Something like a bombardier beetle.

Thanks for the comments, anyway.

Re: Beetle enemy idea

Well, probably it is because my bad english. Or my concept is really bad. I'll try to explain. In first form it will have much hp, defence and damage, so killing him should not be easy. The second form he will take in the main when chasing, if you move away from him for a sufficient distance. He wil...

Beetle enemy idea

I want to suggest adding a new enemy. It should have two forms. First form is ground. In it it resembles the good old goliath beetle - slow but tencious and well protected (and not only from physical damage). If player moves a long distance from the beetle, it goes to the second form - flying. In it...

Re: Suggestion: Arena portal

]Feel free to do so! However, it is not very hard to just make such a portal vault. You can do it alone! (Obviously, this increases the chances to get into the game a lot.) The documentation about that is correct these days (it was wrong for a long while and who knows when it will become obsolete a...

New early-game portals

In the late game there are different Wizard's labs which bring a variety of walkthroughs. But in early game portal vaults are repeat and you explore the same tombs and sewers, volcanos and ice caves over and over again. Thats why I decided to propose some ideas of new portals. 1)Limbo. It represents...

Re: Suggestion: Arena portal

There are some ideas for early portal vaults that I'd love to try. I am somewhat working on one where you pick up an ally and then face stronger competition (no guarantees this goes anywhere, I am stuck with the lua). Another idea that should be usable is a demon pit: there are so many lowly demons...

Variety. Early timed portals aren't have many specieses. So when you walkthrough the same sewer or occassuary for the umpteenth time that become boring. So that "nanozig"(c) can add that missing variety.

When the player enters a portal of the Arena he sees a large area with group of monsters. After he defeat all monsters there is a...

Re: Suggestion: thinking about returning retired content

Also fwiw, there have been some discussions about this in the past and someone actually went and crunched the numbers and crawl has, in every major version so far, added more things than were removed, so the initial premise here is flawed. I strongly sure that's in current Thunk were removed more m...

Re: Suggestion: thinking about returning retired content

Most removals happen because the enemies aren't different enough from other enemies. Some happen because the specialties that made them different were bad for the game. Which enemies in particular are you interested in bringing back? How are they different from other enemies that could be used inst...

Suggestion: thinking about returning retired content

I have a suspition thats Crawl lose at updates more creatures than recieves. Maybe it's not bad but with each retired monster game lose part of its atmosphere. And that can be not very good for Crawl. So maybe you'll think about returning some of retired enemies to countervail remove of some already...

Re: Can't code but still want to contribute?

Hello. I can help with painting some monsters, tiles, items etc. since few know how to paint pixel art. For example: my work for the Heroes 3: Succession Wars Mod. Wolf and rider are made on the basis HoMM2 wolf and goblin but some details like an axe, head of rider, shoulder armor - made by myself....
