I'm in! I won't have much time to play but I hope to get a few wins and a ton of stupid deaths.

To the OP: You also can't use mutagenic chunks if you worship Gozag, as nothing leaves a corpse. By the way, and slightly off-topic, I think it would be funny if with low probability there could be a potion of mutation among one of the potion petition choices. Maybe with some tweaking so that the c...

As for builds, NaWz was the first week of last CSDC, the thread is a good place for various ways to build it. There was even a lairless win!

I was going to tell you to look at the link, but apparently it gets overwritten, so now I have no verification that I even made it. Guess I'll have to get lucky again.

Jiyva got me before I could ditch that mace... This challenge is really super hard, but that creates interesting situations.

Thanks, I thought about that overnight as well. Then maybe Lugonu or Kiku...

I persevered with my +0 mace of chaos and after thousands of excruciating turns killholing and pillar dancing in Lair 8, I managed to convert to Jiyva and got Tier 2. I will try to get Tier 3, maybe by converting to TSO to be able to uncurse my mace and use that elemental staff. Dungeon Crawl Stone ...

These tiers seem very punishing to me. Xom often curses the weapon you are wielding (it just happened in my game), then you are effectively stuck with your starting weapon, right? I thought I could be saved by Xom's weapon swapping but if I recall correctly, this has been patched out in recent versi...

Hi everybody, could I have the password by PM? I would love to help in the final stages of this project.

Naive question: wouldn't it be possible to smooth the values of AC/EV for all practical calculations (say to the first decimal, like skills), so that these threshold effects become irrelevant?

Then congratulations are in order. Well done amalloy !

I saw that written on reddit some time ago : "Bear in mind, timed portals really have two separate timers. The main, fast one triggers when you find a level with a portal on it, and counts down so long as you're on that level. There's also a separate slower one that starts if you leave the leve...

It's fine, you actually get two weeks to do each week.

Quick update: I don't know when I will find more time to work on this but I believe that the version on my github is a decent start. Specify a seed by launching crawl with "crawl -seed somehexadecimalnumber". Everything should be seeded except for Abyss. This includes branches, timed porta...

I really like the first suggestion

Oh I did sign up already, I was just wondering if the standings were available somewhere else than irc (I always feel guilty about pinging everyone when I use a bit command)

Is the google doc running somewhere?

Things were going well yesterday (after a 1 point D1 splat), and instead of my usual "let's finish tonight" attitude I forced myself to get some sleep in order to avoid making silly mistakes. This is a sudden death challenge, better be careful, y'know...Then I started again today and died ...

Hi, I'm a 26-year old French boy, currently living in Grenoble. I like drinking wine, eating cheese and complaining. I have a PhD in computational topology, and am now the equivalent of an Assistant Professor, but without any teaching commitment. No trouble with alcoholism so far, but I binge-play c...

I managed the tier 2 challenge this week, making this my only game where my first rune wasn't in the lair somewhere. Clearing Elf was surprisingly not that hard with Yredelemnul's Secret Service, but when I got banished prematurely I had a really bad time. Clawed my way back out of the Abyss, murde...

But breadswinging during speedruns is so much fun!

Ah I wouldn't mind if somebody else actually did it -- I commented on your thread.

This question has popped up here a while ago and I popped it up again more recently . Since nobody seemed to be interested in it, I decided it would be a nice project for me to code on my excessive spare time. But since I have a new job since this morning and I did not get past the initial theorycra...

I'm in! Thanks for the revival.

FWIW I am slowly working on a branch to implement correct seeded runs.

I am a terrible programmer so I don't dare committing on anything with the dev team, but I have some hope to get something going at some point.

I saw that it is something that is planned for Cogmind and I wonder if it would be doable for Crawl: you fix a seed for the RNG in the beginning of the game, so that several crawlers can play on the exact same dungeon. I think that could make for some interesting competitions..?

It still seems unclear to me, do you require something with respect to unarmed combat?

Yeah..and after all this is just a game, I wouldn't grief so much for a virtual death! Meanwhile I've parked a MiAr on lantea trunk. An early trident of pain and ash altar made me a necro hybrid in plate. Some very good items by far (a +6 bardiche of pain and dat ring!!) but I haven't still found a...

Next: FoAs I am bad at both formicids and assassins, so I have no good advice, but I guess that digging must make for some nice and entertaining surprise stabs. 3 runes are enough, but please take the abyssal one. In my experience it is often a formidable challenge with formicids, and I would like t...

Done: http://underhound.eu:81/crawl/morgue/ve ... 015412.txt

Give me 5 minutes to recover from my emotions (this is my first streak ever

) and think about the next combo.

Hmm, I have a very newbie question. I tried picking up that MiAr game, but I like playing with the numpad and the num_1 key is mapped to scrying, which is very annoying for me. I changed the whole rc file to put mine instead, yet it still does it. Is there a way around this?

Dat ring!!!

Same thing here, I was playing trunk yesterday and for the first time in my experience she didn't drop anything. Maybe there is a lurking bug in the recent versions?

The RNG gave me a MuWz, I went for it quite reluctantly, being afraid of the grindy reputation of Mummies but it turned out to be the most enjoyable game of Crawl I ever had. Being clueless (and winless) with mummies, wizards and gozagers, I started by following the somewhat unorthodox build of Hila...

Hi, I've been toying with this version for a while and I'd like to thank you for it, it works quite well. Only bug I can report : when travelling on the map using X, sometimes pressing Enter to go to the selected location does not work. And sometimes it does. In particular, when i do X > enter to go...

On stealth characters, I usually turn off all the skills except for stabbing at the beginning, until I reliably kill every monster in one stab. Then I switch on all the needed skills, and as an Enchanter, casting ensorcelled hibernation + stabbing is a tremendously powerful combo for the first few h...

So, yesterday I started my 206th (!) game with a DsCK. As a pure Xomite I play all my DsCK games with the obligation not to forsake him (even when abyssed at low levels), and with melee only and absolutely not spellcasting (I let him handle the spells). Finally it worked ! Earlygame went very smooth...

Xom is by far my favorite god in Crawl. Here are a few remarks about my experience with him. After winning a few games with different species/backgrounds/gods combinations, I tend to find that all my crawl games tend to be the same and end up being pretty boring. Picking Xom right from the start is ...

When ninjaing the orb with a violently underleveled hero, wielding a distortion weapon with good attack speed is very effective : - Good chances to banish ancient liches and orbs of fire - Even if banishment doesn't pop out, it provokes blink, which helps to open a path to the orb (I find it pretty ...

When playing Nemelex, stacking legendary decks of dungeons with the Water card on top is incredibly useful against : - The Royal Jelly (but NOT NEAR THE STASHES) - The army of executioners surrounding Gloorx Vloq (how else can a melee fighter kill 10 excutioners in a single turn ?) - Probably lots o...

I used to practice a lot with Nemelex warpers and it worked quite well, although I never won the game with any of them. The point is to spam summons when you meet a dangerous enemy and blink away as soon as he gets to you if he's melee, or as soon as he's got a clear line of fire if he is ranged. Us...

This may be only me personal feeling but I find humans pretty boring : they're average, not bad in anything, not good in anything, which isn't very exciting. Looking at the tournament stats, they don't count a lot of wins and I'd understand why most players don't play them : it's always funnier to p...

How come some players in the tournament have an 'extended' morguefile with statistics about each branch and list of vaults and some others don't ? Also, is there a way to check the maps of the vaults you've played in a game ? I recently went through a volcano where I couldn't find anything interesti...

Hi fellow crawlers. I've been playing a lot of DSCK recently and have been really enjoying them. However I feel like I might be missing some tips on how to deal with Xom. The kind of things I'm wondering are : - Should I quaff id some potions just to keep him amused ? Better yet, should I quaff id t...

This one was a hell of a ride, and it's sooo nervebreaking to die in Zot 5. DSCK are hard to start, you never know when Xom is going to strike you. I killed about 50 Nonos before this one took off, thanks to a +7 rod of summoning Xom gifted me. It allowed me to cruise through the early dungeon, the ...

The good thing with dragon form and statue form is that they boost your hp tremendously, making that painful meleing in the vaults a lot easier
