Re: Why everything wants you dead?

I think the answer could be that the designers want this to be an esport and prioritize that over everything else. It's all about the game "balance" and preventing the player from gaming the system by exploiting competitive mobs.

Anticlimactic orb escape

I'm just wondering whether anyone else finds running towards the top floor of the dungeon once you have the orb to be somewhat anticlimactic. It's almost always an easy win at that point. Maybe originally it was harder and more exciting but it got toned down?

Re: Remove Beogh

Glenn was a man who was turned into a frogman. Afterwards he was quite miserable, but when he finally accepted himself for who he was, a frogman, he learned all kinds of powerful frogman skills and became a great swordsman. I think there's a lesson here, and it ties back into Beogh somehow.

Re: Crawl's Manifiesto

I think the best part of this game is the interface which has ruined every other rogue for me(including older versions of crawl which might otherwise be more interesting to play). I think a good job was done making the beginning of the game a little less grindy. I'd like to see more unpredictability...

Re: How can I start to get better at this game?

Don't skip floors unless there is something risky on the floor. And once your character is strong enough to not be at serious risk from the threat anymore, revisit the floor. Autoexplore every inch of the floor. Its tedious/grindy sometimes and you probably already do it. But when I first started pl...

Cross training question

Let's say you have a character who trained short blades to min delay, but now you want to switch over to using a long blade. Do you train long blades directly? Or do you train short blades to get long blades up to your desired min delay? Or do you just not do it and stick to short blades the whole g...

Re: Ranged Caster AI

You say it annoys you that the monster hops backwards. I am also annoyed by ranged attackers hopping forwards. Its like a scene out of Walker Texas Ranger. Note that there are 3, not 2 possible main behaviors. 1) Kiting 2) Standing still, like a turret 3) Running forwards, like an idiot. I'd like to...

Re: Ranged Caster AI

Just assume that monster centaurs could kite you: that'd imply you'd be forced to have a strong ranged attack (spell, bow/crossbow/etc., wand) by the time they appear -- which is about D:5. (The attack needs to be strong because centaurs deal reasonable damage.) Currently, you have the following op...

Ranged Caster AI

I'm really curious about this one. I noticed in older versions of the game that monsters would sometimes run away after they were wounded, perhaps in an attempt to make things more realistic when it comes to monster behavior. But that behavior no longer exists. Also you never see situations in the d...

After I clear lair what typicallly works for me is to clear the dungeon/orcish mines next. Their difficulty level is usually lower then the rune branches.

Re: Balancing the Council God

God still seems pretty overpowered. Even if you remove serpen'ts lash and the heaven thing it would still be really strong. One restriction that was mentioned at the beginning of this thread that I think makes sense is to have an armor restriction, where you can't equip anything heavier then leather...

Re: {Beginner Question] Identifying Scrolls and Potions

I usually wait till D2 and read any scrolls where I have 2 or more till I find the identify scrolls. Then I id scrolls till I find the remove curse scroll so I know what my curse margin is for equipping unknowns. Then I id pots for the curing/heal wound pots, or use it on an early wand.

Wyrmbane vs Vampiric Axe

So I have a vinestalker of makhleb with a fully powered wyrmbane (4runes collected so far) but also a battleaxe and broad axe with the vampiric brand laying in my stash. I could enchant either one to +6 and will likely get more enchant weapon drops since they've been dropping like crazy in this game...
