two interface suggestions

[twelwe]

These are both comments made on the console version, so tiles may not have these problems:

1. Human necromancers are the same color as humans and often both appear at the same stage in the game, sometimes spawning in groups together. These are hard to spot compared to kobold pack member differentiation. I suggest they be turned grey.
2. Corrosion effect reduces AC, turning the affected number red. It also turns an equipped weapon red, but the slaying bonus remains untouched. It can be assumed by the Corr debuff (also red) number that the slaying bonus has been reduced, but there is no explicit correlation. I suggest the corrosion effect reduces the displayed slaying bonus on weapons the same way it does for AC.

I don't encounter an issue with (1) in Tiles.

(2) is applicable to both versions.

checking the glyph sheet it looks like necromancers are light grey already, and that no human glyph uses dark grey. Light grey and white are very similar in console.

Most terminals, in their preferences, let you independently set all 16 of the ANSI colours. In Putty it's under "Window" group, "Colours" tab: scroll down the colour list to "ANSI White" (what Crawl calls lightgrey) and "ANSI White bold" (what crawl calls white). Also make sure you have "bolded text is a different colour" selected.

No glyphs should use darkgrey, because that is used for out-of-sight remembered monsters.

I think they said that because Twelwe had said they were unsure on whether these were issues with tiles or not. XuaXua was letting Twelwe know that the first one wasn't but the second one was.

No, you misunderstood. Duvessa was giving his content free post that award.

Of course, whether the award was deserved is questionable, as it should probably be a tie between all the various content free posts Duvessa makes. Of course, if you let the only judge of a contest give an award to themselves, you shouldn't be surprised when the result seems less than fair.

TLDR: Most useful post award competition is rigged, and Duvessa is a corrupt official.

a good idea, except that (I think?) corrosion currently reduces UC damage, which doesn't have a slaying bonus normally displayed for obvious reasons. aside from that problem (which seems solvable), I really like this

[Hirsch I]

why does corrosion reduce UC damage?

Good question! Simplicity and consistency are possible answers, but I agree that it doesn't make much sense for corrosion to have this effect on UC.
