Re: Curses

Well, even in the late game you are forced to waste an equipment slot for the scrolls, because there is often enough stuff that you want to try out without wasting an id scroll. But I wouldn't call that an interesting decision, as it is in the early game. I disagree. Once I have enough scrolls of i...

I'd rather make centaur bardings only drop on centaur games, naga bardings on naga games and boots on the rest of the games. Bardings can then drop with the same frequency as boots. They may need to be nerfed a little to account for their higher availability.
