How about taking a stair places you next to the other end instead of directly on top of it? When there are multiple options, make it prefer placing you on an adjacent square with a monster in it, moving the monster onto the back stair. To lower the chance of instakill surprises: when you first ente...

Here's my challenge : Context : Santa Claus is in big trouble. The elves who usually help him crafting all presents for Christmas are on a massive strike and he fears that the saddest Christmas ever is for this year. Elves are really too proud, and can't be trusted anymore. Santa decides to call Hal...

Two runes in the bag now (serpentine and barnacled). What's a good time to use the Bribe Branch ability? Edit: Just found this hat: K - the +2 hat "Atipex" {*Slow rF+++ Str+4} (You found it on level 1 of the Vaults) It affects your strength (+4). It renders you almost immune to fire. It m...

Bad luck

Autoexplore made me kill a butterfly :'(

Well, there's that poll at the top. Considering the results, I'd say the current codebase wins by a large margin. At this very moment, there are 17 votes for leaving shafts as they are, and 16 votes for reducing them. Is this really a large margin to you? By the way, I am really surprised that 33 p...

Where is the "Probability should be increased" option ?

I'd seriously object to that.
It's one thing to have my data freely accessible on the webtiles servers I play on for morgue + leaderboard purposes, but quite another to have it distributed with every copy of the game and its source code.

Not having to use the "x-v" screen is an upside.

Another possibility for CF with a clean UI would be to make it summon a short-lived ring of flames that completely surrounds the player and doesn't move with him

Nice title! Did you level up Invo so high specifically to keep your Oka title? I love God titles, so I often do this as well. You bet I did ;) Congrats. Four and a bit hours is a speed run in my book! I can't check with CXC being down, but this might be my personal speed record... Yup I'm slow too !

Been a while since my last win, but here I am with a fully unwon combo for me ! I was really happy with a few things during this run : ⋅ AC : I had lots of AC for the whole run, with a +9 plate armour, the +8 ring of Robustness, +5 rings of protection and a shield of protection. With Hero...

My favorite combo : NaWz with a magic god. Hint :

Spoiler: show

FYI you gain spell levels for each experience level and for each half-level of Spellcasting.

I'd still much rather wear a plain +2 hat.

Stealth does make it easier to reset noisy fights or to just nope out from dangerous monsters. On casters I usually train 6-10 stealth

Got back to crawl, and after failing about a dozen runs, I fired up a Formicid and that was smooth. Like, really smooth. Like I felt I was way ahead of the difficulty curve all the time. Of course I abused Fo's ability for on-demand killholes. When I found a gozag altar I thought "eh, why not&q...

I'd never put it on as-is. I'd give up 3AC for the ability to read scrolls any day.

Malign Gateway is very powerful, I think it can attack out of LOS so the best way to use it is to cast it and back off.

I would recommend against buying it now. You should focus on raising Fighting, Dodging, Evo and Stealth imo before thinking of getting new spells. Your Ice beasts + spire are more than up to the task right now and will still be for a while. Get it later if you still need it.

If you're willing to relax the no-targeting requirements a little, then you could have the following spells that can only target an adjacent tile (à la Vampiric Draining) : Raise Walls and Wall of Flame, puts temporary walls / clouds of flame on the targeted tile and both its neighbors (still adjace...

Idea : some kind of slow-moving omnidirectional shockwave originating from the player. Like shatter (hits tiles next to the player, then two tiles away, then three, etc) but with a 10 aut delay between each.

Or you could just do away with food as a secondary piety system

Ummm like Lee's Rapid Deconstruction sucks? Or are you talking about Borgnjor's Vile Clutch? Revivification?

sdynet wrote: (Of course, only Trog's Berserk. Not other Berserk.).

Why? Regular berserk is powerful too, dangerous too and also lacks feedback.

Not having to ever worry about food, torment, poison etc I think is really worthwhile. The thing is, even without necromutation you should never worry about food, and barely ever worry about poison. That leaves torment, for which the best way to deal with it is usually to kill the tormentor or rese...

Since SH is applied before EV we are talking about replacing amulet of Air with amulet of reflection. First I don't see how the second part of this sentence is a consequence of the first part. Second the OP doesn't specify that we're talking about the amulet of the Air, or that we're choosing rMsl ...

Yes, when you have Death's Door active
Also it may be optimal acceptable for overpowered characters like Ds with powered by death 3, robust 3, Makhleb and crazy AC.

FIFY

Just finished this game that I started two weeks ago, I had some trouble getting back to this game once it was in like Pan or Hell, but I got around to it eventually.

Welcome back, playing in the console is not depreciated, you can find instructions and keys for online console play on this page. I know for a fact that CXC (France) allows console play for instance.

Promotion(Active): Relative to Invocation and Piety, increase the target's HD. Once a promotion follower, it cannot be promoted again. promotion automatically changes the orc's equipment.

Why do you want to make it Invocation-dependent?

siprus wrote:That's one daamn bullshit ring if I've ever seen one.

Code:
ring "Forget-Me-Not" {rPois rF+++ rN+++ MP+9 Int-4}

It's really not that good. rPois doesn't matter on Mu, rN doesn't matter on Mu, MP+9 doesn't matter on anything, Int-4 is bad and rF+++ is nice (though rF++ is sufficient).

Then how about taking the orc inventory completely out of the player's control ? For instance a fixed inventory for each orc archetype (polearms of course, for sanity), where promotion automatically changes the orc's equipment.

What I would really want with Beogh is a way to choose which of my follower I recall, for example a menu listing all my orcs where I could toggle whether I recall them, and maybe also a "recall all" option.

Also I play a lot of nagas so I macro'ed 'af' to 'g', because one keypress is less than two for Poison Spit. Also I can use it in other games for the first ability, such as berserk or draw out power, but nagas are my main use case.

I don't understand exactly what your channeling macro does, but this post has some rcfile magic that evokes a staff of energy until full MP or until a monster comes into view or you're inside a cloud. I macro'ed it to F1 and it is a blessing. It could use a couple print statements, it also doesn't c...

I would just like to point out that the argument that unifying the commands would make large menus is kinda shaky.
Unless you're standing on a large pile of items, the hypothetical unified menu for equipping/unequipping would still be significantly shorter than the 'i' inventory menu.
