This is all stuff you would learn in any decent medieval history book

you missed my first post, then: http://m.medieval-life-and-times.info/m ... ethods.htm

So do you just not believe anything that was in the first link I posted?

Much like the reason everyone here is jumping down your throat is because they haven't seen the light yet and not because you're being an ignorant chode. That has a lot more to do with the social dynamics here than with any question of fact. When you say "everyone," let's be clear: mainly...

Berder if you would actually like to gain some perspective on the medieval justice system while reading a great story I highly recommend http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2610/2610-h/2610-h.htm

Executions were one of the few sources of spectacle for poor people in those days. They wanted to see pain and suffering and executioners were more than happy to oblige. The assumption you're making that a quick death was anywhere close to a priority shows a huge amount of ignorance. http://m.mediev...

sometimes batty monsters act weird like every now and then a bat will decide to be extra annoying and stay out of melee range for like 10 turns. And no, I wasn't mistaking it for a butterfly

Conjurors used to be able to choose between two equally crappy ice and fire books, but that went away along with Chaos Knights being able to choose between mahkleb xom and lugonu.

So, because one God is bad for your start you'll never use the altar again? Are you aware Veh never had an entry requirement and is equally useless? Veh isn't useless, just bad. I would at least get some benefit from training magic with Veh because he gives you spells much sooner. Whereas with Sif ...

well there's the 30% chance of irresistable confusion but sure, I overreacted. At least Veh gives you spells at 1* instead of having to get 5*. That's a lot of spellcasting to train, isn't it? I haven't played sif since like .7

I guess the worst option is getting Sif if you don't have any books. Just training Spellcasting for piety until you get a book gift does not sound good... You can't worship Sif if you don't have a memorized spell. Presumably the altar just wouldn't pick Sif if you don't have a spell. I guess Sif ta...

FR2: Failing that, remove blink from ghosts. FR3: Remove butterflies from ghosts. KL's arguments are pretty compelling to me. The concept of monsters representing player ghosts is a good one, but it's probably better design if they follow monster rules than player rules. (And we have Mara for when ...

one of the weirder rand names I've seen

Code:: W - amulet of the Assorted Beds {rMut rPois rN+ Str+5}

#9 in my ongoing quest to win every currently available wanderer. I put on shield of the gong after training a handful of points and never looked back. It wasn't so hard since trolls can kill everything quick and I found some good protection rings early on, Depths felt like a marathon, though, with ...

Luring is what it is because monster AI is so dumb. If you tried that against smart enemies, they'd quickly realize they shouldn't go chasing after that noise that six of their companions chased after and never returned from. They'd figure out "holy shit a high level adventurer is after us&quo...

Yeah, I don't understand where all the "ranged/magic sucks" sentiment is coming from, early game attacking from >1 space is so much fundamentally stronger than attacking from 1 space, for the same reason that attacking with allies is fundamentally stronger than the alternatives. Things are...

My general reaction to roxanne is to jump out of my chair, run around the room in circles with my arms in the air screaming "IT IS HERE! IT'S HERE! IT IS TIME! THE HOUR OF OUR FATE HAS ARRIVED!" Because I want the book. Also, this makes it very awkward to play crawl at starbucks, as us se...

If you have a good summon ability like shadow creatures, menagerie, or mahkleb they can usually kill or damage them enough that they're not a huge threat.

The best thing about the kill list is seeing how screwed over they got in zot, like 12 orbs of fire or whatever.. That and ghost kills are the only things I'm interested in.

congrats! the win will come soon, if you can keep avoiding overconfidence and impatience :)

So maybe anyone with a predilection to imagine women can explain? And anyone who doesn't either. It seems like a lot of people associate nature/passiveness/healing as female so everyone says "she" with fedhas or elyvilon, but these discussions are always really dumb anyways (gods are free...

Irradiate does good damage and more importantly is guaranteed to hit. I had it on a HuFE before and it works very well with sticky flame, having 2 guaranteed "melee" hits does a lot to mitigate bad luck. I have no idea what the malmutate affect does on monsters, though.

So I know all awake monsters know where you are when marked, but what happens after quaffing cancellation? Do they still head towards the last place they knew you were, or do they start wandering due to stealth check or whatever?

The more specific crawl advice is, the more you should question it. Even very experienced players can fall into the trap of giving advice that is too situational, and most wiki guides are the epitome of situational advice (the game is too random for most humans to fathom even after dozens or hundred...

Weird, I found a vault in v:5 with 9 shops in my most recent game. it was almost all potions abd scrolls too :)

Thos was a really fun character, the Dith/fireblood mutation/boots of the assassin combo was awesome. I would shadow step into some yaktaurs or whatever abd stab the biggest target, setting everything else on fire in the process. One thing I like about Dith is that branching into stabbing is viable ...

It only affects spells and your resistances, sorry

e: removed some bad advice

I was going to talk about how this spell kinda sucks but apparently horns have a weird stun effect I didnt know about (assuming the wiki isnt totally wrong)

early weapon acquirement is ridiculously good Not really weapon ?acq seems to start being good when you've seen most the weapon types of the class; except maybe the top one. IE if you want to ever have an Exec Axe read Acquirement after seeing both a broad and battleaxe. If you want Acq to have a d...

Or remove monk. The piety thing is supposed to be the background's defining feature now, but it really isn't a very good one IMO: it does literally nothing during the most difficult part of the early game, which can't be said of any starting items or Trog. Yes, you can make the same argument agains...

what if explosions actually exploded and caved in your body armour along with your internal organs, causing instant death

Don't kill anything, violence is never the answer

Just a quick note for my colleagues in Team Evil; I'm pretty ill at the minute and simply haven't had the energy to play. I'll try and finish my current game before the tourney's conclusion, but apologies for not being able to participate more. no worries, and get well soon :) Playing crawl while s...

Yeah they are. But in practice its basically displaying the numbers, but instead of just displaying them you make them even more unintelligible by assigning them exclamation marks (based on an undisclosed, arbitrary rule). Its good in the sense it avoids overwhelming the player with numbers (which ...

cyc is going to be riddled with emptyquotes, but if this stops (some) weirdos from obsessing over perceived groupthink and cliques it would be great.

This tournament is crazy. I'm not sure how to explain the huge win rate increase (2.66% last time I checked, previous tourney was 1.55%), but the number of wins and players winning is obscene. Two people (DrKe and I) won 4 games in a day, which has never happened before. We'd been noticing that the...

Unless it's been reverted I'm pretty sure that in trunk there's no breakpoint in dodging where it suddenly starts to work, armour gives ypu a percentage-based malus on dodging skill instead of flat (or something to that effect).

If you gave us a character dump we could give you better advice.

ftl is not a roguelike, ftl is a strategy game that has roguelike elements spelunky is not a roguelike, spelunky is an action-adventure game that has roguelike elements realm of the mad god is a fucking mmo, idk what even to say about that rogue legacy is a hybrid RPG/Metroidvania game that has rog...

Pixel Dungeon on phones is pretty straight forward. But I (in my opinion) enjoy more complex RLs. was the food game ever fixed in pixel dungeon? I'm loathe to go back to it cuz I was always starving to death even when explpring aggressively I think there was a thread about Hoplite here before, grea...

apparently it's the fault of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and a now semi-obscure MMO called Toontown Online , which came out shortly before WoW and popularized using 'toon' to describe PCs (since all the PCs in the game were cartoon characters). There is a logic... wish there was a choontown online and ...

I think it would be worth it to train some levels in Evo at this point, you'll be gaining defense from the maxMP with g.spirit, and offense with your wands. I wouldn't switch to the gsc after investing so much in Shields, but I'm terrible at comparing weapons so

love it when I find a good one-hander and its like "fuck yeah I can use a shield this run"

In my recent fedhas win I learned that growing plants is a great way to block lof and melee attacks. lt saved my ass a couple times in z:5, while waiting for a teleport. That's not as good as fog or darkness, but it's a decent last resort.

I was an hour late on a VSVM win before it filled up two days ago. Yesterday, I hit zot 5 on a HOAM and it filled. as I was clearing. So I try for the golden rune w/ orb challenge. I tele right next to the gold rune and am 3 spaces away. A greater mummy summons 3 emperor scorpions. I die. I have be...
