GJ manipulating what I wrote.

For you? Maybe. I guess you have no idea what software maintenance is and it doesn't surprise me.

Elf lover wrote:is needed to a group of players

Air and food are needed, high elves aren't.

Dire flail is common, strong enough for the whole game and requires moderate investment. No other weapon in the game matches all these requirements. This is the reason I'd go maces in most mummy games. There is also bigger chance of a random good weapon with Pikel, Edmund, Snakebite vault in Lair et...

I didn't mean to be interesting. I'll leave that to you. I choose being reasonable instead. Your own opinion is not a reason to remove entire species from a game It's not. Lack of reason to be there in the first place may be, though. So if you are ok with that lets merge ogre and trolls- they are bo...

What is the reason behind it? You say they were UNINTERESTING , but how can you decide for me interesting they are or not? If they are interesting for you, then you can have them in your fork. Nobody forbids that. I liked them because they were good both in magics and melee Like tengu, merfolk, dra...

Any god that reduces your options from the start and not give anything substantial in return immediately is by definition worse than the one that doesn't do that. If you feel you need immediate help then go Hep or Gozag. Fed and Oka are very good if you can reliably survive for the next few floors. ...

I'd actually be glad to have Maxwell in Elf:$, as a random teleport into either the vault can spell trouble, and it uses much of the level, so it can be hard to get out with a tele scroll. That would also apply to Elf:2 and HoB if not for the possibility of a shaft into Elf:3, as that would be terri...

Ru is also a decent choice for Mu, as with a decent first sacrifice, he'll give you some help almost right away, and his "Draw Out Power" ability can serve as a poor man's potion stash, as it restores health and magic, removes confusion and petrification, and can be used while confused. Ot...

Code:: runes: (...) gossamer

I quite liked it.

Whoa. Spider as a Vp is the most stupidly annoying combination Crawl can offer, so it says a lot if you can enjoy it.

1. Yes, 2-handed axes are better, especially under Usk. If there is any battleaxe with a decent brand then use it. Otherwise I'd still not train shields when your axe is venom-branded, not yet at min delay and your shield is plain. Don't move on to a large shield unless it's a great randart or you'r...

Because being slow faster is better than just being slow, as it contains the "faster" element.

To differentiate them more from ogres.

It's just the few first D floors that are hard with Tm. With UC 10 and reliable spider form it's quite strong, so unless you have terrible casting/unarmed apts or are a Mf that found a halberd on XL1 etc. it's better to stay true.

Run in a circle.

Qazlal doesn't actually bring the entire level at you, its basically equivalent to shouting by doing "tt" so it will bring things from about another screen away to you. It's much more than that. Shout noise is 12, while Qaz will often create storm clouds, and when these trigger, they make...

Monks now get a choice of weapons. And statue form is not the biggest boost for unarmed. Most chars get more damage from blade hands and hydra form, and dragon form is miles ahead, plus for a Dr it leaves your scales AC intact. Confusing touch is not that great on a dedicated UC char, unlike felid s...

The link is now dead, but IIRC it showed a win in 58 seconds.

Yeah, searching for rCorr is.

But not for the "just under 50k" kind of speedrunning. Just go fed->jiyva and skip the vaults, otherwise play normally.

Yes, the first three. It's as valuable as a hand or evo. One game of Ru I particularly liked (VpTm): 1015 | D:2 | Became a worshipper of Ru the Awakened 2948 | D:2 | Gained mutation: You cannot study or use magical devices. [Ru sacrifice] 2948 | D:2 | Reached * piety under Ru 2948 | D:2 | Reached **...

It would probably be easier to modify any other race, due to extra lives gimmick. Just change the numerical data/mutations in crawl-ref/source/species-data.h file and equipment restrictions in can_wear_armour() function of crawl-ref/source/item_use.cc. Not much coding knowledge should be needed, jus...

Knowing enemy positions ( and relative threat level ) That's Ash, not antennae. With just the antennae you may know an enemy is there (though I find it unreliable below level 3), but have no idea if it's threatening. Indeed, for a stabber it's still nice, especially with passwall, but to give up ho...

Mennas!

Antennae 1 has nothing on Antennae 3 Both are terrible compared to damage, but the former at least allows hats. I agree there may be a couple T3 that should be T2 (I'm looking at you Icemail) This is probably because icemail is indeed T2. Maybe thinking about passive freeze? This one is indeed quit...

Some words get replaced, see the function on line 543.

Yeah, there's no difference between near bloodless, very thirsty and thirsty anymore. Also between full, very full and alive.

Get Invis to like 8% and abuse the hell outta it, get your scimitar to min delay for stuff that sees invisible, get stealth to 22 as it's cheap. With str 7 I wouldn't go heavier than ring mail, unless maybe it's an amazing artifact or it gives much +str. Get 8 invo for good finesse chances and durat...

Remove Trog from Berserkers, give it a potion of Berserk Rage instead.

Also +6 from lich form, but -4 due to hat of Alchemist!

Another "secret tech" is that a monster in a flame cloud will happily enter miasma from corpse rot. Strong monsters can normally enter the former, but will never enter the latter in normal circumstances.

I remember this one game where Haste was already removed from book of Enchantments, but I found a randart book with it in a shop. It costed 3610 gold though, and it wasn't a particularly greedy shop, and the book didn't have other good high level spells.

A role that's in the middle of that race's role difficulty ranking.

If you run into a floor that is one of these: mummy floor, pan lord floor, demon floor with a lot of fiend-class. Then most chracters without certain tools will probably need to bail out quickly. I'd add abyss floor, and fiery floors can contain OoFs even on level 1. Elf floors can quickly become d...

It is also possible without the haste part. The silence only affects his square in the last few turns. You just have to be able to survive a few of his attacks, and if you're unable to, then there's something seriously wrong with your strategy. I think there is nothing wrong with playing a Mu or Vp...

But then FE's best spells are very MP-efficient, so you don't need that too much. I'd wait for Kiku.

Stop conserving consumables. There's plenty of them.

All tiers. This made me realize how much HP fighting skill gives. I didn't think it was this significant, as I have 20 fighting pretty much always, regardless of char combo. http://crawl.xtahua.com/crawl/morgue/stickyfingers/morgue-stickyfingers-20161126-110111.txt Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0...

Not really, just shoot a few more times. Or, like, thrice as many. Doesn't matter if it's alone.

Assassin is not good starting as backstabber. That's because it's not a stabbing start, it's a blowgun start. Arcane Marksman? Book of Debilitation is one of worst starting books. Please put Portal Projectile/Yara's Violent Unravelling to the starting book of AM. Portal Projectile is not a hex, so ...

I killed Pikel and my buckler skill is now 9, my game is ruined.

Just like regular movement. Slowness still applies. You can't be hit in the middle, just like you can't be hit in the middle of a normal step, because it's just the same.

Are you sure it says "spriggan baker's corpse"?

Unbranded whip is a terrible weapon. +3 morningstar is better, but still not great. Stop training stealth and, unless you have a good bigger shield and a good 1-handed weapon, shields skill. More evocations is also of limited usefulness for you now, stop training it. Search for a branded (not-venom,...

Drinking a potion is not exactly a hard way. you are extremely interested in getting this one trick pony going because its the one answer to like three problems (food,torment, and now mutation).
