My suggestion elaborated : For all other species moving on ground is primary and water is an obstacle. Merfolk is amphibious. Make octopodes primary water creatures and implement a minivault random cave river system. Deep Water: - fast regeneration - fast speed - reaching abillity is moderatly succe...

Get they a melee bonus when standing in a water tile? Difference between low and deep water? In water they should be deadly, able to lure monsters in shallow water and attacking them out from two tiles away with a deep water tile between. But they could even get a additional melee malus when fightin...

My first Crawl-Octopode "Wunderpusel" lives up to his name. This clever mollusca manages to cut corpses with a knife it just seems to imagine to possess . Pic shows test after stripping of all possessions: http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1113/krakeknive.jpg Just like the name octopode not...

I see Felids as a species for unexpirienced/medicore/casual players. They give the chance to hurry ahead of the places you normaly are able to reach in the game. You can get farther as usual without having to care about too many gameplay details. That is the job cats do for their witches. I would ch...

That got me thinking. Wizardry IV had 'ultra endings' too.(never achived by me)
Which game had this first?
Has DCSS 'ultra' endings, apart from 'multiple rune wins'?

Not shure about which is the hardest roguelike in the true sense. Hardest 'traditional' CRPG should be Wizardry IV - Return of Werdna. It actual had some roguelike elements. All the monsters where player 'ghosts', and when you died you where 'back on field one' etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiza...

-1 for Unlocking Species in Crawl from me.

+1 for improved high-score table with additional 'best of'-statistics screen

Umm. Did not know that. I thought that every dead char has the chance to spawn as a ghost until killed a second time.

Looks pretty good. Maybe the cauldron could be the 'o' of St o ne to center it more. I never would drop the 'Stone Soup' part, because it is in toa way the definition of the whole project (many people give each a little condiment and in this way a stone (core Linley's Dungeon Crawl) plus water (tile...

One more idea:

If the char get selected in the table there should be a sentence in the death statistics about ghost status:

"His poor soul still haunts the dungeon..." "...and took the lives of ABC, EFG and JKL"/ "His soul was laid to rest by XYZ."

I would like to see some improvments with the highscore table: - option to view highscores from main menu - ability to scroll list and selecting characters to view statistics - some extra list with champions/best statistics in different categorys (most gold found, most turns played, most deadly mons...

@minmay: Thank you. That was it + one has to delete any ...save\des-folder in the trunk. And wiz_mode = no must be in init.txt.

Absolut beginner noob questions. If I have made some vault, how to test it out in game? Just to copy it in a .des file in my tiles-trunk folder does not function. Adding some DEPTH or TAGS in the header brings CRAWL to crash when I want to start it. Have I to download the source and compile it in so...

Bonus means positiv addition of quantities (points, money etc.) Malus is the exact reverse of bonus.
The reverse of penalty is reward.

Mmm. Eight on Level 10 beats six on Level 1 for shure. So it seems I have to vacate the leading position...for the moment.

I have six on level one. Who holds more ?

(And a vote for menstruating bats)

Apart from how to name Giant Bats, what about of actualy implementing menstruating bats as a very rare kind of bat or Giant Bats have a very slight chance to transform in menstruating bats if not killed. They spawn a puddle of blood from time to time. This blood can be ingested with 'c' or 'fulsome ...

If we look at the 'real thing', then Megabat is misleading. Fruit Bat or Flying Fox would be more correct. Carnivorous bat would be absolutely wrong From wiki: Megabat ...The megabat, contrary to its name, is not always large : the smallest species is 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long and thus smaller tha...

@MrMisterMonkey: Of course I've read it. I'm just playing mindgame how selling could actual be made a playing option, that fit's with this philosophy. As I understand it, the amount of gold a character has affects highscore and gives the option to buy better stuff. Gold is found for free. To give th...

Just some brainstorming: The manual explains the *NO SELLS !!!* policy of Crawl with the hard grip the Guild of Dungeon Procurers executes. So, why not actually make 'Dungeon Procurer' a playable background? - abysmal aptitudes in everything - instantly detects traps (because The Guild has installed...

One more 'other roguelikes more in ASCII, but Crawl more in tiles'. Reason for Crawl in tiles are already mentioned. ASCII makes of course the best 'graphics' like in textadventures or reading a book tops every movie. I would like to see the return of a Iso-Tile version for Stone Soup. Or even a fir...

Thank you all for voting.

Some fine tuning with the brightness and contrast setting of my computer screen solved this problem for me. Set both to 50% and adjust till satisfied.

This is how your post looks for others. You can of course not thank yourself, so you won't see it in your own post.

I reworked the classic and second default stone soup titles to match with the first default stone soup title and uploaded it to Mantis.

For off-line play I would like to see the old Crawl Iso-tile version also for Stone Soup.
