Now there are the proper redirects

About antimagic brand, what's wrong with the wiki?

It would be extremely annoying considering Demonic Guardian frequency. Said frequency is also the reason why it sucks so much with Okawaru. As long as "prevents Demonic Guardian from coming up" doesn't mean "surpresses spawning" but instead "you get a different mutation to ...

3. Following Okawaru (silently) prevents Demon Guardian from coming up. And what about it being optional? A lot of times you don't want your allies to die, but if you are in high tension a powerful demon can save your life, and you can stand some Oka penance for your life... The interface could be ...

It's the conclusion I was trying to drive dd to.

excellent! I remember another (though slightly less sophisticated) star trek game which I think was procedurally generated - was more about exploring and the occasional fight - movement was coordinate based and you'd punch in the sector you wanted to head to. was good fun in a very geeky kind of wa...

So what you're saying is, poison arrow is basically plant poison mixed with animal poison? I don's see why a poison spell could not generate different kind of poison to be able to affect as many living creatures as possibile. Keep in mind that Poison Arrow is so foul it poisons even poison-resistan...

Fighting with no weapons?

I'm not sure I'd like turning every Zot level into a Vault:8 ...

eeviac: what you say is very true for extended. Inexperienced players who "stick to the basics" will face only smite, paralysis and maybe fireball, in this case shields have higher value. Problem is that what's irrelevant in extended game, is suboptimal for a three-run win but viable for s...

Shouldn't them be tied directly to Fighting, instead?

dd wrote:Huh, that seems a bit weird to me. Plants don't have a circulatory system or anything, why would they be affected by poison of any kind...

Pollutants poison plants normally. Simply they're not poisoned by the same poison as animals.

You should drop stuff monster won't use almost anywhere and other stuff in corners.. let the stash tracking do the hard work for you.

Another choice is FeBe.

If you are interested in the link, this is the wiki page: http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=To_hit
I can't say it's right, wrong or incomplete/inaccurate. Make you judgment.

What about Nemelex as a god? Cards can be used while in statue form and legendary deck of destruction, summoning and escape don't suck.

In my opinion one of the challenges of Cerebov is his bodyguard. Rather than a summons, give the Ereshkigal appearance vault a number of bodyguards. I agree. And maybe (big thing this), make summoners summon something when awake out of LOS. This would help Elf branc when elf summoners are so weak t...

With luck you could even get a nice console result in a x-less environment on a modern debian. Provided the laptop has a nice resolution, you could get at least 80x50 console which is very useful.
And irc on the other console for the bots

Yes, it's seem down even from here... (center Italy)

If he's following the wiki, I hope he's playing a 0.10 ;-)

From my limited point of view, unless you invest heavily in armor, you'll end up using leather until midgame, so the leather with blink is quite nice. Be prepared to make some other kind of armour ponderous afterwards to be fully bound.

+1 for this. I'm not sure about console, but on webtiles, monsters that "look dangerous" will have their names displayed in yellow in the monsters-in-view display. "Extremely dangerous" monsters are displayed in red. While it's not perfect, it's a pretty good guide to what you s...

It just seems so boring, because you don't even do anything after you cast your summons. Is there something about it that I'm missing that makes a summoner more fun / varied than it seems like it would be? Branch into melee and get a polearm or a reaching weapon for more fun. Or learn portal projec...

minmay wrote:You're missing how ridiculously broken summoning is. There is no need to do something other than summoning stuff.

I agree. Brother in arms from Trog is so useful that sometimes it seems broken.

XuaXua wrote:I thought the general attitude was if you needed to use all 3 charges and still need more and can't dash back to a scroll to get more, you're playing Crawl wrong.

Or, simply, you are lazy and you want to spare yourself a L2 trip while you are on Vaults2. :mrgreen:

crate wrote:Wait brilliance gives a power boost that is not the same as the int boost? I never knew that.

Sometimes the wiki is right.

Train throwing, and you'll ID the brand and enchantment on every dagger, spear, club, and hand axe without ever wielding it. This is why Vorpalise Weapon it's not useless. I can't make heads or tails of this statement. What does vorpalise have to do with enchantment? Because if you pick from the fl...

My first absolute win was a FeBe.

Stupid question: do console work? If it works, it's almost certainly a graphic issue (libraries or otherwise)

Gretell> Fannar (e) | Spd: 10 | Int: high | HD: 10 | HP: 80 | AC/EV: 0/13 | Dam: 8 | weapons, items, doors, spellcaster | Res: magic(80) | Chunks: contam | XP: 1261 | Sp: b.cold (3d18), refrigeration, armour, ice beast, blink.

Added Fannar to the wiki as a stub

Maybe someone will improve on that very soon...

I would rather advice not to leave Trog and stick with him. My first win was a FeBe; not having to care about many objects is bad but also simplifies the game and being unable to use magic is another simplification.
Stick with Trog and abuse Brothers summoning when in danger.

galehar wrote:Topic moved to Interface & Software.
And no I highly doubt anybody will find it interesting to implement this feature request. Just play in a smaller window (read options_guide.txt if you don't know how to) or use a second monitor.

Or learn to play console ;-)

If you have enough unarmed combat and fighting for sure. See my FeBe win on the wiki (here).

For that you need Summoning, Ice and Summon Ice Beast.

Or a Potion of Berseker Rage. A Berserking Felid eats hydras for breakfast.

That's why there's CTRL+x or x and hovering the cursor on the wraith.

I love it when I'm standing over my stash as a worshipper of Nemelex and I accidentally press p instead of , to pick my items up. If you are going for Nemelex, always mark your first stash object with !p: !p prompt before sacrificing a stack containing an item with this inscription; if the answer i...

Just try a FeBe and see if with limited options (and some lives to spare) you go faster. Worked for me for my first win.

gb wrote:IMO you should always acquire jewelry...*always*

Unless you're playing a FeBE. I acquired two jewels hoping for a rPois and had to clear Swamp without it. Luckily Snake Pits didn't generate, and done Shoals instead. By the way, I got an amulet of Rage and a ring of Ice. On a berskerker.
