You gotta eat, cook your food to get better nutrition, train cooking so you dont starve. It doesn't make sense in the game's system because there's plenty of never-spoiling rations in the game and you can eat raw meat without any ill effects. When i said to add a cooking skill the logic thing to as...

how about you try it on every creature in the game so you can get actual results. Or at least pick a orc knight. If it made sense within the game's systems, it wouldn't be a bad addition even if training it was never objectively an optimal decision. It makes total sense within the game's system. You...

ahahahaahah i knew you would pick a hill giant for your tests. Were you able to send those with a straight face?

Skilling in this game only serves to let players make bad decisions. What's wrong with that, though? I could add a cooking skill and ask you the same. I've seen such morgues online but I cannot find them. Here, let me give you one of my own: http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue//Dynast/morgue-Dyn...

There was a time when I trained Fighting quite early on my casters because it helped both with HP and with the effectiveness of whatever "best floor weapon" I was using for popcorn at the time, without committing me to a weapon class. Is this a good plan? Yes, just pay attention to how ma...

Why so much killing power? A spear and zero berserks work too. What is it supposed to prove? That tactics is more important than skilling and that species work as difficulty levels? Sure. You are the one who brought up By the way skills don't work for spells either. You can cast Glaciate with 5 lev...

Rng does not change optimal play because it does not change probabilities, it just rolls dices. Remember to re-evaluate situation before every action. If you have 99.9% chance to defeat goblin, you start attacking. If on next turn you have 60% chance to defeat goblin (because you missed it but gobl...

It seems to me that at later stages in the game you have too much popcorn though. Even if this means that Uskayaw is a worse endgame god than beginning-game or mid-game god, that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it? You have a lot of piety raising enemies that cant harm you later on that you can u...

That's easy. You do optimal action for goblin, when adder comes into view you reevaluate situation and do optimal action again, when sigmund comes into view you reevaluate situation and do optimal action again and so on. Of course it means if you are at 1 HP adjacent to hasted sigmund after series ...

Edit. If you insist on strategic plan (like prepare to orb of fire by making yourself more vulnerable in Vaults), What are you talking about? Optimal route depends on unknown variables so it is impossible to predict/prove. You prepare for orbs of fire and then you get the orb of zot without meeting...

Yes, that's why one shouldn't say that "There is a optimal skilling route that one should follow when playing optimally". I said its impossible for me to prove there is a optimal skilling route because it would require mastering every single combination of race, background, weapon and spe...

I just wonder how do you prove that something is the optimal skilling route? Dynast (NaWn) has played 35 games, between 2016-02-03 19:24:42 and 2017-01-04 23:48:29, won 30 (85.7%), high score 3626230, total score 80790005, total turns 1802490, play-time/day 0:22:58, total time 5d+9:04:11.

Skilling in this game only serves to let players make bad decisions. What? There is a optimal skilling route that one should follow when playing optimally(one that im dont feel like discussing right now, if you disagree with that, lets just leave it at that). So being able to choose what to train o...

Is "kiting enemies that cannot effectively damage you in order to generate piety to kill enemies that can actually damage you" a strategy or a exploit? i dont play the god so idk, but im curious.

I have had worse... during the tourney, specially. 2 | D:1 | You fall through a shaft! The idea that new players should get used to mindlessly tab through the first x games until rng gives in being better than balancing difficulty amuses me. I have tried to get friends to play roguelikes(specially D...

webtiles is a thing, with real people in there, believe it or not.

In what situation does a game not generate what you "need" to win it, but you are able to reach a zig? What item are you talking about? http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue//Dynast/morgue-Dynast-20170210-125334.txt No tornado, wanted tornado =( http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue//Dy...

I thought that was the point of spells, to be overpowered and possibly broken, since you gonna break your character playing a mage anyways.

If you played enough skyrim you know the problem is not evading lightning bolts, it is aiming them.

Mystery solved. Stop flying when around airstrikers.

this is not my morgue and even if fly makes you take 2 times more damage show me a morgue that died to 100 damage air strike.

Or give injury bond to his summoned allies instead.

Behold, the ultimate asshole summoner.

Suicide zig diving is far more interesting than whatever else you can do when the game you are currently playing did not generate what you want or need to win it.

Why does air strike checks enemy AC but not player AC?

Nothing like getting blown into deep water by a wind drake in what is supposed to be a advantegeous terrain and there is nothing you can do to prevent that.

No it didnt, extra 5mp and a free action was a great spell.

You fell for trap.

No release notes credit for blowgun removal? :( He slaved night and day over this branch and this is your comment? Sigh.

So its basically ozo's refrigeration. Good job.

Ring of Flames is a very interesting spell that you almost never get because vehumet does not support it.

Can you make picking up gold on the floor not take a turn so i can speedrun gozag though? Funny thing, if you kill an enemy over deep water or lava, the gold will teleport into your pocket and save a turn. So for turn count it's slightly optimal to do that when you can, although it's probably rarel...

Its pretty safe to call hostile demons when you are surrounded by other summons, plus its not like you MUST use the spell by the time you get it or everytime you want a summon, learning some basic danger assessment is key. Also, i hate to say it, but summon demon is actually very exploitable.

I was going to say "if you think guardian golem is good you are probably using summons the wrong way" but thats how every playstyle argument goes, the game is easy enough that you can make anything work and project that as "the best strat", so i could be wrong and its probably me...

Can a artifact be both the best and the worst?

Code:: slain by a centaur (the +8 dagger "Weedd" {venom, *Contam rPois rC+++ MR-})

I really would have liked that early artifact, but i really would have liked if the centaur did not have that artifact.

You have to make your summons lose the battle in order for gg to win the battle, it makes no sense spell.

Im pretty sure the goal of every piece of equipment is to make the game more boring by increasing your chances of winning it, so proposing shields with better stats or resistances is not gonna solve anything. If you have a good idea for a shield active ability or passive effect i welcome it, i dont ...

although if you simply removed the bad effects and left only good behind, you would certainly improve the chances that blind quaffing would help you out of danger, giving the player a very large power increase in the early game Lig and ambrosia are far better than half of the other potions as far a...

I dont play hellcrawl but thats usually what happens when you give a smite targetted spell to a enemy who has "wall ignore spells" such as dig or, in elementalist's case, summon earth elementals from the walls. If the enemy can detect you he can cast wall ignore spells and having these typ...
