what the hell is gnollcrawl

[Arrhythmia]

you people keep mentioning it and i keep sitting here with my thumb up my ass not knowing what it is! what is it?

[CanOfWorms]

it's a branch on project357 where you are xl 1, you don't gain xp and every enemy is a gnoll, a gnoll sargeant or grum

[Arrhythmia]

thank you. i can go back to sitting comfortably with my thumb up my ass.

[Sar]

still more fun than gnollcrawl

or crawl

[Rast]

This is how you know crawl is as good as major studio games: The players come to the game's official forum to shit all over the game and the devs.

If crawl actually sucked, noone would post here.

PS: Would someone please find the thread about which devs are the worst and bump it? Thanks.

[Sar]

most major studios are smart enough to ban dissenters though

of course you can't expect even that kind of competence from Crawl "devteam"

i'm the worst. if anyone argues with this i will ban them

It's on CPO, and there's a zip of a windows installer in the releases tab on GH.

There's still some stuff I plan on working on, some little balance tweaks, harder extended, making it so hell effects don't instantly kill you, etc. But it's a joke fork in the end. Some odd spawns occasionally, like empty vaults.

But for the most part I think I'm almost done because originally my idea was to just change like one line of code to 'MONS_GNOLL'. 61 commits later. :p

Also there's the issue that the more I am perceived to be trying to balance the game, the more people might actually expect the game to be balanced.

Do golems dream of electric gnolls?

[MainiacJoe]

Are monsters summoned by god wrath also gnolls? If so, then Trog/Oka to get good gifts and then switching to Fedhas seems viable. If you have to deal with berserk iron troll or titans to do this, never mind. Gozag seems like another god to kit up with before switching to Fedhas.

[Sar]

I dunno, getting surrounded by a bunch of armed, berserking gnolls with XL1 amount of HP seems... not very good, to say the least.

LOL you're right, they don't need to be iron trolls for that to be bad!

[le_nerd]

What about God(ddesse)s whose wrath is two levels of XP worth long? Permawrath?

If you find a CPA, do you more or less just win?

[Sar]

just like in real crawl!

[dynast]

You telling me theres a version of crawl that lets me play as a poop draconian?

[nago]

Is there hope the European's servers get updated with the best dcss version?
I mean who the hell play trunk anyway

I like to play poop draconians.

I'm eagerly awaiting the first Gnollcrawl MuMo challenge win.

yeah right

[Shard1697]

Probably, but you'll need the Str for it... when I put on CPA in the zig this last game it took me down to -11 EV. Which wasn't as good as what I had with QDA, and also if a gnoll with branded weapon hits me it could still be nasty(elec/distortion in particular).
