I just escaped with a hunger's blade runner DsNe^Fedhas wearing an artifact amulet of rage. The highest hunger spell was deflect missles ( #### ) which i was forced to cast pretty often despite wearing a shield but EV just 24 when escaped, Fedhas Reproduction also eaten lots piety in vault:5, which ...

What if only a fixed amount of them can be cast at time?

How is this an improvement over not having charms in the game at all? You may want to explain your secret reasoning, if you want a decent answer. Cmon it ain't hard. Remove all the resistances mechanics, spells, abilities and items in crawl. Fighting a single Vault Guard on d:14 (after cleaning Lai...

Wankers.
Still amazed by duvessa proeness tho.

I've been telling people to play Hyperrogue because it is a non-euclidian roguelike whoops i thought it was a joke from the cube -> hypercube movies. Just watched on youtube, meh bad game, the sphere is just a visual trick not really anything about game mechanics (aside from the unrequired barriers...

I think that assessment is misleading: across all 3 Descent games, the only non-Euclidean geometry in the standard levels that I can recall is that secret cube in level 16 of Descent 2 that very slightly overlaps a tunnel. Duvessa you are awesome :lol: Correct, my first answer was too impulsive, it...

I was amazed too. Even behind this detail there is some culture and thinking. The first one that got me was cultural notes after item descriptions.

All the usual negative sh*ts come after getting used to quality. Thx devs and related.

quite recent, Spriggan Warper.
Started dcss with it, never switched, barely read any doc and cannon fodded corridors for kinda 8 months. Till i learnt wand of digging and created a long corridor to the orb :mrgreen:

Btw, i never used again Shroud of Golubria since then.

np duve, here is the link, 1 year old at least: http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Vault The term vault refers to any dungeon feature that is not part of the dungeon's normal layout. Vaults generally have a fixed layout, though many include random items or monsters, and some (notably Xom's ...

Good job!
.. and welcome to the Tavern

As topic, just curious if vaults are drawn with creeps too, or if there is a "magnitude" for creeps to spawn there, or just completely random spawn as for floor. Also, are vaults bound to specific levels? Doh i just noticed i should check wiki for "vaults editing guide" for such ...

Stand over stair, read tp scroll, press "." (dot) ONCE, go downstairs.
Take your chance to disband the pack for a fair fight.

IMO Invisibility may be worse than the tp (un)luck

BTW, why is DCSS still running on squared grid? Diagonals aren't unfair? octagons don't tile the plain Aight, but hexagons rock. https://www.google.it/search?q=wesnoth+map+grid And u may consider even an untiled plain, where any move would take exactly 1 time but different spatial traslation relate...

There may be one alternative without messing with the rng: think about a descriptor. Once a level (as in shape, items, creeps) is generated then write a binary string like in hashes or bitmaps images. It would just require an importing method to bypass the generator. My 2 cents Isn't that just savi...

That's how it binds us :mrgreen:

Gratz! Chei is hard until u understand it. It's awesome :> Slouch is the most important ability, step from time is your warranty for successful teleport, u don't need anything else if got any ranged damage (spell, weapon, throwing). Tm gets awesome improvements with stats. Faith amulet is mandatory,...

the answer was just "die", all stats were reset and was fine to dig some orc, d:15 (where an horde of ugly things didn't recover my malmutation) then i died by ending lair, definitely.
Funny experience,
Rest In Peace

Well done! Short and very effective list of spells

Good job! A good 2016 ending

Wow awesome.

Thanks for the good job

My 2 cents

Boring as hell, any thanked comment lose posting date. This is really bad when a respawned old topic requires tracking of posts. Don't u want me to resume all the topics from 2011 just because of it? :twisted:

Whatever. nerd mode Noone noticed there was a big mistake by stepping from 1991 games (lemmings) to Doom? Any fps is doomlike? what about Rise of the Triad? Syndicate? Wolfenstein ? /nerd mode off The magics behind old videogames is that you really could have played *most* titles in your gaming age ...

stickyfingers wrote:tele away and banishment are quite good at dealing with monsters.

I'm not experienced with It, just the few times i was stuck there avoiding a banishment by unwield i REALLY hated to run all over the floor hunting for teleported-away free experience :-/
Is that really a good brand?

Corpse rot would be the definitive spell all over dungeon, no matter how much are u underlevelled against any creep. The issue is that u will run out of corpses pretty fast if u spam It like this since u can't ask how many corpses to request (typically 1~5 iirc depending in your reserve). So play in...

YEAHH!! Easy char, not many tries with this combo, in facts the first one i started which came to first rune was able to complete the game. Don't have much to say about issues, since the complete game is REALLY long (almost 23 hours..) and at some points kinda boring so i had to break more often tha...

who would trade iron rod @ depths for an ice blast in d:2 ?

Actually I think D:1~5 is designed as too difficult. No, it's not fun nor need to be the best part of the game. Repeating early floors again and again is silly.

Mummy is tempting

If i was for 3 rune it would probably be my choice, but i guess in extended i will waste a mayor number of possible short victories. Need an easier one, looking to Merfolk. Which gods do u suggest, excluding the already used ones?

Hi again, after a few tryies since octo win, i managed to escape with my first tengu. I guess octo and chei are very good crawl gym ^_^ This game was at same time easy and LONG.
