http://www.8bitpeoples.com/discography?page=1 here is a whole bunch of 8bit-tunes, some are quite nice. archive.org also used to feature some 8bit releases - but now there's mostly noisy stuff like drone crap n' such :/ http://speeddemosarchive.com/ this site is also quite funny, esp the NES-game sp...

When something is unanimously agreed by good players to be weak/strong, it probably is. You aren't giving in to "peer pressure" if you acknowledge that 0.6 heavy armour was underpowered. it's still a silly argument, compared to forming your own opinion on a somewhat reasonable basis. http...

DsWn of Xom, just because that's what i do when i don't know which combo to play :p

I usually play VpEn, where stabbing is usually just a option to get to lair somewhat reliably. depending on what i get i usually switch to training other spell classes ASAP, necromancy and summoning are quite ideal - haunt is great and access to either class is decently easy (Animate Skeleton is qui...

if you'd manage a similar picture as ascii art (80x25?) i'd wholeheartedly agree that it would be a nice addition :p
the problem is probably getting the ascii art right, esp. with neato colors D:

otherwise i'd see it as too much of a emphasis on tiles - which i would not like :/

stabbing doesn't require you to have any short blades skill - you can simply switch to a dagger and stab, there's no real relation between the two besides beeing lazy to switch (and on some occassions taking extra damage for taking time to switch) - at least for t1 stabs. if you have no quite reliab...

finally got some free time on my hands - still didn't manage to test the Jelly Knight idea, but... (proof through peer pressure is a really weird way of arguing, isn't it? how about formulating your own opinion instead of repeating what others say and accusing other people of not putting much though...

so xom is about d1 scumming or just flavour? :s either have repeatedly been considered a bad argument/design :/ also not sure why jiyva (god i hate writing that name, gives me brain cramps) would give you much less experience early? i should really just test it in wiz mode... the no-loot part can't ...

blergh, all people here argued with a "xom is cool because he gives me deaths due to RNG - and to get that from the D1 is mandatory", at least that's what i understood from it. i merely suggested that you can have the same effect by choosing a different background that already exists AND h...

Back on topic, since my playstyle with Xom is I Just Don't Freakin' Care, it's very cathartic for me to roll up a CK or two after dying with a hard-played character. And no matter how the game ends up killing me, nine times out of ten I can just shrug it off as "Xom did it, not me, so why get ...

O_O Jelly Knight! XD! We have to see this. Octopode Jelly Knight for maximum monster traumatization.

too lazy to try that out (and the knowledge base doesn't reflect the changes yet), too happy with my current VpEn - the change to growth sounds kinda nice though, though they just could've removed it and increase the chances of growing plants through sun-thingy and rain... oh well, would need to try...

That's not what I was talking about. My problem is that the player tile can't ever look like the monster tile. The player tile is warped into this human shape just so you can play dress up with different armors. Instead, I'd like the option to have the player tile look EXACTLY like the monster tile...

it's still a waste of fruit since early the shroom doods (one is usually enough for blocking) are quite enough to deal with most threats if you properly train Inv (i guess, didn't try the changes yet :s) and besides, you could've mentioned what version you where arguing about - since i expected 0.9....

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/goofy i applied the definition i found there, to random other gods :p and it still works, as i tried to explain D: and besides, there's quite a more unique option to chaos knight - that is going for (Ds)Wn of Xom which is even more random... (esp. if you get a D1 xom...

if you argue like that there's nearly no reason to not include <Insert God> to the list of pickable starting gods - or am i totally off? D: Not all gods are iconic or show you cool things you otherwise don't get to see, not all gods are goofy and whimsical, and not all gods have such a unique plays...

(while i risk to repeat myself...) In addition, Fedhas prayer damages zombies (necrophages and ghouls also?) but not the incorrupted vampires. Sunlight should be a good option here to specifically damage vampires... fedhas prayer turns zombies into skeletons (not sure if that's exactly damaging besi...

hmm, all arguments in favour of NOT removing chaos knight could be applied to mostly any god really D: "he's a chance for players who routinely die on the early levels to see cool things they don't otherwise get to experience, as well as being just downright iconic." "Still, Chaos Kni...

There is no food clock. It's like... you're given 20 years to complete a 5 minute task and you're saying you're saying the clock is ticking. ... somehow my impression doesn't really fit that - there are quite a bunch of areas where you DON'T have access to food, so unless you saved up alot beforeha...

well the description is like: yadda yadda, thematical description monster Foo can kill you in n hits with a chance of p. you could kill the monster Foo in m hits with a chance of q. yadda yadda, resistances that does give you a decent idea on how tough a monster is, esp. if you keep watching monster...

i feel like lair and somewhat later branches are alot more reasonable to react to (besides getting your ass kicked by a unique cluster fuck) since you had time to gather some tools to handle some situations. The fact that you have no tools is the reason why the early game is so difficult. Would you...

i've only had about 3-4 decent runs for a 3 rune win (v0.9.1 - so take my comments with a grain of salt) and i must say that it bugs me how, pre-lair is based on pure luck and somewhat random decision making (early temple/altar, rpois, curare kobolds, ...). while one could argue that the early game ...

not calling it tedious to stash stuff is kinda meh, esp. when you have to move a stash from one place to another on a low str char it's really anything but fun (go to A, grab anything you can carry, drop stuff so you're not overburdened anymore, go to B/if disturbed continue, repeat) :/ this is one ...

the next is getting plants in a plantless enviroment without it. I proposed in another post -don't remember which- an evocable item: Eryngia's seed bag. It allows you to produce either plants or trees which also produces progressively a certain amount of fruit. It would be very useful for Fedhasite...

this was my first win, so well - take my suggestions with a grain of salt slime is fine until you hit the royal jelly which is a major pita because haunt doesn't do much to him. the abyss are also fine but they're really unfun - probably easier with lugonu, kiku isn't too bad tho because of the corp...

i went with kiku but i guess you can do it with sif too (a little less reliably so): when invisibility/sure blade is at excellent turn off training hexes (there's nothing to train it any further for, hexes stink...) get dispel undead, it's fairly strong throughout the game - and usefull! get haunt a...

i agree that sunlight should really cover more than a cross-shaped area. at least the 8 adjacent squares (and maybe more, like a halo; it's only situationally useful). right now you can't even hit a diagonal if you can't maneuver that way. as for growth/evolution: what do you do, grow and evolve 9 ...

i got a SEEE of Fedhas to XL27, so looking back (taking the risk of repeating myself and others): growth is the biggest problem (fruit cost is WAY too high), the next is getting plants in a plantless enviroment without it. sun-thingy could have a bigger radius and/or a better chance to grow plants s...

i just wanted to note that mythology isn't fantasy in a sense that the two terms usually differentiate quite well, as in mythology beeing historical folk-tales (or however you'd actually call that) and fantasy beeing more "modernish". most of the game's content seems based around fantasy, ...

or generate more fruit in the dungeon or make fedhas gift fruit by chance i really enjoyed a NaEE of fedhas for a while - but in the end i ran into heavy MP problems, until i found a staff of channeling, where i ran into the problem of having to train Evo without a decent source of Exp (continuing f...

where's the problem? you'd be using LRD on the skeleton - not on a wall (despite it beeing unlikely that you remove all walls with it...)

--- EDIT

failed hard at reading, going to sleep nao ;o

you should cast lrd on your inner-flamed skeleton to blow it up, teleporting it sounds way too safe anyways.

dondy: Have you played the god seriously? Your posting does not look like it. It manages to not mention that Fedhas can set up oklobs. Four oklobs from nothing, that is four fruits, and should be enough to clear a level. Rain is great against anyone not flying or amphibious. Yes, you need to use it...

maybe the problem is like: kenku / mermen are the few who can utilize rain without immediate problems while fruit do actually mean something to them early (to save perma food when no clean chunks are available) unlike kobolds - which require levitation or something similar to use rain safely while a...

i'm still very new to the game but i find it dissapointing that you failed to add the option to both in the poll :p the tile one looks nice and has a mouse interface to improve accessibility, for new players who aren't yet accustommed to the plentyfull hotkeys the console one feels alot less cumbers...

first off i'm pretty new (obv. enough) but these where my findings :) HaHu of Okawaru looks like a whole package - too bad you always run out of missiles and never find a buckler until too late :/ SETm of Kikubaaqudgha i loved it at first but the anti-training from Evaporate/Ice Form was giving me e...
