Hunter characters like CeHu seem to be less popular than other chars: fighter like MiBe, caster like DEFE or hybrids. Although it's nice to have more ore less unlimited attacks with your ammunition (given by Oka e.g.) collecting them after a fight is annoying. Recently I had a look at centaurs: &sdo...

I have grown incredibly wary of banish-capable enemies (Sonia, Psyche, elves, ogre mages, chaos or distortion wielders) You are alright to be very careful, abyss is deadly for low-level characters. to the point of paranoia where I'll wander around bedecked in whatever magic resisting equipment I ha...

Hello all! so, I had to tell SOMEONE who cared, got my first 15 rune Ascension! Woohoo! Congrats! Not sure how to attach morgue files the way I see other people doing An easy way to get to know the way other people doing is to just hit the quote button. So if somebody attaches an image press quote ...

I plan to go to TSO for extended. The questions I have are the following: 1) What bow should I use : Krishna's +8+8 longbow of speed, The piercer, the stormbow or maybe a holy longbow? Should I bless a sword instead? If so, what kind of sword An important point in the extended is to kill dangerous ...

Most boring things?

1. Old abyss (until 0.11)

It's gone now. Thanks, devs!

The server will be mercilessly taken down on Thursday or Friday (most likely the latter) and fixed up so that it can be officially a part of the community. Will it be possible to continue ongoing games after lantea has been restarted? This would be nice - in case it's doable for you without too muc...

Purple draconians get 6 MR per level instead of the usual 3. As magic resistance is very important - consider being banished or paralysed - they are very desirable.

so I'm in love with Trolls. Keep your love :-) I've generated like 100, I'm not joking, and every and each of them has found an horrible death before reaching lvl 15 at max. [...] Those green giants are a mistery to me. Trolls are among the least versatile races in the game and crawl wiki is right ...

What is a Hill Giant doing on DL5?

Looking for some XP.

Who thought this would be funny?

The hill giant.

Why did i choose to fight the Hill giant on DL5?

Looking for some XP.

When will be getting Dwarfs back?

*sigh*

Have you used TSO's holy brand ability yet? If not, then bring your exec axe to a TSO altar to bless. Exec axe of holy wrath will be a very strong weapon in extended. You'll need 6* piety for blessing your weapon, but it's the usual choice with TSO and I totally forgot this possibility in my previo...

Hey there. Hi Finrod. i used regeneration to heal the damage [...] So now i'm still under penance of TSO. With some kills of evil foes you should get your piety back soon. I have around 10 meats, and no more food shops. This will be alright. So i'm not sure what to do now I recommend pan at next. I...

Yes, of course.

However, as it is the only way for me to play webtiles online, any additional information about lantea is welcome.

Dumping games on lantea results in the message Char dumped to './rcs/[playername]/[playername].txt'. Where can I find this dump? I looked e.g. for crawl.lantea.net:8080/.rcs/[playername]/[playername].txt but this doesn't work. Does anybody have more information about the progress on lantea - will 0....

Thanks for your answers. Although I played console games quite a lot before DCSS started I couldn't become (re-)familiar with it.

Now there's a new European webtiles server, lantea has started as mentioned here.

Since CDO webtiles has been shut down many European players hope for a new webtiles server. Immediately after 0.12 tournament lantea has started (like CDO it's located in Germany) and things seem to be in progress. Although actually there's no bot providing information to CAO scoring tables trunk ga...

Thanks for your idea. My bash has Monospace predefined, and one of the fonts I can choose from is DejaVu Sans Mono. It seems to be the same.

Well, I'd prefer webtiles, maybe we'll get it back some day. Now let's see what's going on with my console game.

You need to do it through your terminal settings. Do you know what terminal you are using? Alright, I changed settings in my bash. There are not many fonts to choose from but I hope I'll manage to install other fonts. So the remaining question is: what do console players think which font will be be...

As 0.12 tourney is going on and American servers have too much lag I started playing a console game on CDO (bash on Linux Ubuntu, ssh). However, it's exhausting for the eyes, so I thought about changing the font. ⋅ Using google I found that sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup should change...

Now i'm going for the lulz, i've picked a random race and CK. First of all: high elf seems to be a suitable race for Finrod. :-) Some thoughts about high elves (in crawl): they are good at several things: hand-to-hand combat, shooting and magic. But they aren't really specialized in any of these th...

Some time ago I was often looking for advice in the tavern. I learned many things but I'd like to mention that KoboldLord's answers were especially welcome.

Here's some sound for "You die..." ;-)

A remaining question is: what are the last words of the best players of DCSS? Bart actually is at 2nd place in the all-time highscore list , struggling with jeanjacques and 78291 for the 1st place. Bart has a win percentage of 18% (!) - what are his last words, should he once fail to win the game ? ...

Congrats to your 15-runer. But what do I do next You obviously didn't play online, I had a look at retchdog in CAO scoring overview . DEFE is considered to be an easy combo but if you enjoy playing them it's no problem at all. Other challenges are e.g.: ⋅ Win a DEFE with 15 runes and less ...

jeanjacques recently won the game in 9.468 turns , I just noticed the highscore on CAO scoring overview. Afaik this is the first time a player has beaten 10 k turns in DCSS, at least online. With only 341 kills he got the new record for most pacific wins too. Congrats! 6429763 jeanjacques the Faith ...

This is definitely a hard start. Octopodes are hard in general. AC 1 hurts. Statue Form would be really useful for an Octopode I would think. An octopode in statue form is a killer, you will constrict your foes with stone tentacles. You have been advised not to choose Oka. However, an OpTm is a (ma...

Implojin looked for the golden rune on the orbrun, a challenge game! I think I'd never do this... Unfortunately, a hellwing teleported him around in tomb:2 which was heavily populated. 78110 | Tomb:2 | Arrhythmia: _A crimson imp, a quasit, an iron imp, 5 red devils, a hellwing, a sixfirhy, 2 orange ...

I really don't recommend the ogre's surgeon. Look for another one if you are injured.

If you continue playing with Ash you'll experience what Ash's father dpeg said: "Ashenzari is definitely not too weak". Get a feeling for Ash's advantages. I mentioned hybrid chars before (-> necromancer, ice elementalist), also consider spriggans or trolls as they have less body slots (->...

Did you play hybrid chars? In my opinion that's the best way to benefit from Ash as she will boost your fighting skills as well as your casting skills.

I like Ash. He's easily one of the most interesting and thematic gods. Yes. However, I do have one problem with him: When I corrupt remove curse scrolls, the result is completely random. I don't think so. Concerning Murphy's Law Ash will probably give you the type of scroll you don't need at all - ...

Thanks for your answers so far. As I played webtiles for one and a half years there's a real break now. Today I started playing ZAngband offline again, I'm surprised that a) I forgot so many commands and b) I'm still so familiar with ASCII graphics. So I thought about playing CDO on console - but I ...

Unfortunately, CDO webtiles is down as mentioned in other topics. I don't want to play offline or console, and playing on American servers is too slow from Europe. So the question is: what to play now? Other games have been mentioned by players - I remember dwarven fortress e.g. I'd like to play a (...

Are crossbows much worse than longbows?

New European webtiles server: lantea

Re: How to change font for console game?

Which font do you recommend for console games?

YAVP - jeanjacques has beaten 10 k turns!

YASD - Implojin doing tomb on the orbrun

CDO down - which game now?
