Search • The Tavern

I was horribly addicted to this game for a time, dumped a ton of hours into it, beat it 3 or so times. Unlocked most of the ships, and then suddenly I stopped playing it. Haven't played it in a couple of weeks. I still love it, but I think there should be more variety, I don't know, it just seems t...

Fire storm + Any mean of confusing

I remember the recent bug in Vault, where you can have more than one real rune. At first I though they were mimics. XD

hoo boy, playing an ancient clunky unsupported version in some ancient clunky unsupported graphical interface - and at some point I thought trunkless webtiles was bad Not mentioning you must support Japanese language and use a script to put the game back in English, then parse the sources because t...

The best way i can translate "the slime pit" in french is "La fosse gélatineuse" ou "La fosse aux gelées", which is incredibly ridiculous And tronçonneuse is definitely the only word used by normal people for chainsaw La fosse gluante La fosse glaireuse La fosse visque...

One "tronconneuse" can also be a "scie mécanique". or a "scie à chaîne". Yes, french have a lot of way to say F U zombies!
I love ice or wood chainsaw carving contests.

May I suggest that we merge together three spells : Fire Brand, Freezing Aura, and Poison Weapon (and maybe lethal infusion). Reasons: they are all low level enough (lvl 2 or 3) than any non-trog can cast any one of them before lair, training only charm (useful for late game) and spellcasting. Even ...

Imagine if while it only requires 9 MP to cast firestorm, you still have to have 30MP to attempt to cast it. It would be annoying. Isn't that pretty close to the way piety works currently? You may only use up 8 of your 170 piety using that ability, but it drops you below the threshold to use it aga...

I did tomb with no spell a lot of time. ? of holyword are so fun for second and third floor staircase.

As it stands the tutorial should just mention it as a must get spell/school for most players, and that's foolish. Players who don't immediately come to the conclusion on their own that a 50% speed increase is a good thing don't need to be told about it, because they are clearly too stupid to operat...

You mean scramble it so hell effect happen every 15 to 25 turns (or 15 + 1D10)?

I don't know why, but reading Turgon's post about that potion of death gave me this half-baked idea that might be utterly horrible in every way, shape, and form. Yes it is, more so in Nethack where the amulet of *I kill you* strangulation can appear anywhere and force you to remove the only reliabl...

Go to bed, I usually YASD when I play tired.

Well, I died, I was too excited after my 15th rune, I went in ZOT5 past midnight, did one mistake (melee an OOF instead of aggro), then instead of HW drank Berzerk. >< Still, I'm happy with this character, but now I will have to play OgMo again to win, may just do a three rune. http://dobrazupa.org/...

Yes it does, I send the link by private message.

So I have one more humble bundle to give. I'm gonna give it to the first cheap bastard or broke chap that post a nice Crawl related acrostic with my pseudonym (VARSOVIE). Game in the bundle, available for Android, Linux, Mac and Windows: - Splice - Eufloria - Waking Mars - Crayon Physics Deluxe - Sw...

Some unique do "always" drop some kind of loot (pan/hell lords). So it's not a unique feature, and even then the unique won't appear/be defeated in every game and if placed in a good vault, might even die in deep water.

BTW: this unique really makes me think of octodad.

Stormfox, you are aware have a truly wonderful post count right now. And he can't answer. I think the most overpowered are "o" and "tab", you can nearly win the game with those two button. :D I play trunk, and I like when they implement new features, often to strong then nerved,...

Weird, lot of people find the rings overpowered, I do find the hat to be so. +regen on a hat, except for DD I think it's the best hat ever unless you are craving for more resist. And if he can spawn kraken, then he should always appear in a vault (a big pool with $ around, 25% of the $ are mimics) o...

Don't care too much for your rock, past lair you will find plenty because of those giants..

Double regen, double AC for only one EV. Totally worth it. Although later you may want something with some resist, a dragon armor or a randart.

Drop Hu, drop Trog or drum unarmed combat. Your combo isn't that easy because human have no race specific advantages in unarmed combat (no bites like Vp, no Claws like Tr). One way to avoid that would be to take a weapon, you will also benefit from trog weapon gift (trog's antimagic do wonder). If y...

While watching HilariousDeathArtist the Executioner Naga of Ashenzari ******, this bastard aquired a battle axe of speed, then found the best leather armor ever. H - the +5 leather armour of Hedonism {rElec rF++ Dam+3}. A suit made from layers of tanned animal hide, this light armour provides basic ...

Str do matter immediately, since it increase your weight capacity, and it's primordial in order to carry more than 5 large rocks or a bunch of spears. And true I should've put more in INT, but I planned to do a three rune, and early survivability was my biggest concern.

So all went pretty good, I missed any good sources of resistance, so I killed Mennas, did Vault, had no good source of resistances did Elf. Oka gave me a so so GSC of crushing just befre I switch to TSO. :D Cleared crypt (first floor ouch, a bunch of mummies when I had 0 piety). After I had enough f...

I currently have a game with an OgMo, if I can give some advice for the first floors: Throw everything axe, spears, javelin, stones (red jellies) and large rocks. You don't need an awful lot of throwing skill to make it viable, and allows you to soften up dangerous heavy hitters, caster or poisonous...

Spoiler: show

P.S. The Crazy Yiuf's corner has 666 topic right now! :twisted:

I think the monster I use polymorph other on most often is orc warrior. Any reason why? I tend to poly only monsters with nasty abilities if I can't cope with it, sometime Jelly, Uniques, kobold with wand... (sadly nastiest things have high MR). I did it once when I was starving to get edible food ...

Yeah, first rune! I've cleared Lair, then Orc, then nearly cleared Snake and finally cleared Swamp. I couldn't finish Snake because of Mennas, I'm gonna clear the Dungeon until I hit lvl 21 for the stat boost, stack some buff and kick his ass (or sneak with the rune :twisted: ). After that I don't k...

i really wouldn't suggest a scroll of random uselessness as a way to protect yourself from any ranged attacker unless you have no other options at all (including take a few hits while getting to/ up a set of stairs) The chance that it will spawn those butterflies is very low I didn't said "pro...

Yeah, random is very useful IF you have a good distance and a safe escape. It can something throw nasty beams that can allow you taking some big monsters/uniques. Even the scroll of random unusefulness can spawn butterflies sometime, really good if you've spotted a ranged foo and want to make the ba...

When you see a new monster, don't go to fight hit. First look your environment and HP, if it's secure, then don't move forward (unless you want to scout or the foo is a pop corn rat), attract the monster by throwing something (spear, axe...). Two thing, first it will damage him, so it will be easier...

The best brand ever is "protection", how care that you can't damage anything when you wait for your tele to kick in.

And switch, Vamp + Mr and good enchant, worth it.

it's hard to keep a polite and friendly demeanor even when paid to do just that in the face of a million repeat questions.. Yeah, sorry if I've been to concise. Maximus, you may want to take a look to the Crawl philosophy (in game, press ? then N) and the refuse proposal list . You may understand b...

Is that how we make new Felids mom?

Because it's a challenge combo. Even Oka is not the easiest god. If it goes very well, I may switch when I get some good weapon/armor. BTW the projectils gift are a "mistake", I already had +12 large rocks when my throwing skills jumped from 7.3 to 8.1 because I killed a Fire Giant (zombie).

It's tedious, counter intuitive and broken.

Wand and pot are OK in my opinion because they are a limited resource. The haste (player) spell though... It have been nerved a while ago, it was a 50% boost prior to crawl 0.7, now it's only 33%. It still a big buff when the only cost is some nutrition and glow. Anyway remove it will only make exte...

If you are familiar with GIT and know how to compile, it may solve your problem.

I try to win OgMo of Oka for a long time, the idea is getting Oka giving me enough thing to throw, maybe a good armor and a badass BRANDED GIANT SPIKED CLUB! :o On local Crawl I often managed to get far with this comb (Vaults) before dying of Stupidity (mostly...), but online (webtiles) I'd reached ...

Because god management and choice is fun. I like the idea even if it's rough (and the book thing...). But I would like to see nil metabolism instead of metabolism 3 and instead consuming food ONLY on actions other than walking (regen MP/HP, spells n' attacks). This way nutrition level will always ch...

Thanks Rorold.

My god! Can you give him this eye pls?

Yes and no, take time to explore as much as you can, but don't attempt to clear every if you can't. I made this mistake today, trying to clear a D2 Ogre (OOD) just to clear the floor. :/

I thought they only appeared in holy pan and zig and I'd forgot they were paired.

Throwing net trap/Gnoll. While I agree that some mechanism are underused, we already have a lot of "boring" content, why add more potentially boring content instead of fixing it? Minotaur isn't the only retaliatory monster, we have the porcupine, the spiny frog, and later the hell sentinel...

Just call it Ember Elf then. I like the Ember (thing), could be a little bit OP in pandemonium/hell though, but it could be a good stalker/kitting specie that doesn't rely on speed. For tower dwarf, meh. Good armor and dodge, but both are nearly exclusive, good shield but small, bad apt on anything ...
