Angry Diplomat posted:I got kinda bummed about CSZO going down (it was my go-to server) and then work got busy and I was completely unaware that a tourney had been announced, so I was pretty disappointed to see that I'd missed it (and a chance to lead Ogrecoming Adversity to hugeness again) altogether. Then I saw that OA had done pretty well in the tourney rankings regardless, with a full roster of players. You guys are all right

So what's the difference between the three ancestor types? Knight's pretty obvious, but what exactly does battlemage and hexer consist of?
|
# ? May 26, 2016 22:17 |
|
Battlemage gets random offensive spells and casts them at the enemies. Hexer gets debuff branded dagger and slow, confuse, paralyze.

If you enslave Duvessa and make her kill Dowan, she will still scream in horror and go berserk while remaining under your control.

my fav is quote:<Basil> What happens if you poly duvessa and dowan into slime creatures and poly them again when they merge still tweaking a zombie wyvern tile, first pass is kinda messy-has too much pink bits(which confuse where the eyes are) and I think I should tweak the wing color. I definitely wanna get a zombie wyvern tile in because I've been spooked by wyverns using the generic 'dragon' zombie tile which fire dragon zombies and such also use too many times LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 02:43 on May 27, 2016 |

Funny thing relating to slime creatures I asked about on IRC when I saw it happen: temporary slime creatures (summons, rakshasa illusions) can merge with real slime creatures, and the game will actually handle the fused slime creature properly if they would disappear from the summoner's death by shrinking the fused slime creature.

Why are thorn hunters so ridiculously powerful? Am I missing something? Is it just because I don't have much EV or what? It seems they hit way too hard for being just a random swamp enemy.

I think their tile might not properly convey how dangerous they are, they look like a bit spiced up bush.

Just remember that while Thorn Hunters are horrifying and will block off your exit as they needle you to death they are weak to fire. Burn them motherfuckers alive! Also, I been working on the Hep vault idea I had and hit a snag when I remembered that I have no idea how to code or how LUA works.

Maybe just a name change? 'Thorn Avatar' or something would be a bit more threatening.

I'm not sure that it is possible, but I can swear I've seen it before, but for tiles around you to change to other of the same type (floor changing color for example) if you start worshiping at that particular altar.

Just make shrikes flock to thorn hunters for thematic reasons.

yeah, that's totally possible. you'd want to mark the relevant terrain with a KPROP, and then use an iter.slave_iterator to do, uh, something. probably. grep around

So I just realized one of the errors why I couldn't get anything to work was I was still using a .18 version to build on and well... Still trying to figure out the rest though!

So demigods are a lot cooler than I've given them credit for. An angelic/lesser god race would still be a cool idea but demigods are still cool and good. I currently have these mutations: code:

That's all I needed, 1 person. E: code:
I lost robust then gained it back. Pretty boring for 14 chunks. I've found like 2 mutation pots this whole game and like 8 cmut pots total. Never had this much cmut before. Mortimer Knag fucked around with this message at 22:54 on May 27, 2016 |
# ? May 27, 2016 22:49 |

They cranked up the cmut spawn rate after they removed rmut. TBH the only muts there I'd be sad about losing are robustness and magic-robustness. Everything else is nice, but doesn't outweight slow regen and wandmut.

Acquiring books is pretty much a crapshoot? I've had some bad luck and would be really happy with Haste, Glaciate, Necronomicon... but I am also still wielding a crappy trident at XL 23.

Has Kiku's piety gain been drastically nerfed in trunk? I swear it took forever to get that first level (before I died). I would have gained at least two XLs and I found Kiku on D7 so they were bigger XLs. Does getting drained slow piety drain? I was having running battles with wights...
|
# ? May 28, 2016 04:04 |
|
Kiku doesn't give piety for undead stuff right, so if you were killing wights and other zombies/skeles, etc. then you wouldn't be getting as much piety? Just a guess.

How important is rPois to doing swamp and snake? I've got a good MiBe going with some pretty good equipment, but I haven't found any rPois anywhere. I've cleared Lair, Orc, and D:15, and the first three floors of swamp, and I'm not sure if I should try for the swamp rune, try to clear out the first levels of snake, or do something totally different. http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue/Sent/Sent.txt
