queserasera posted:Do what huh? It'll be <install dir>\settings\init.txt on Windows. The dummies guide is that it loads lines in order, ignoring anything that starts with "#", so you can just copy+paste the lines and save the file. There's a big guide to what all of the options mean https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/master/crawl-ref/docs/options_guide.txt and you can do crazy poo poo like program the game to play itself (qw) but for the most part goons don't read it and just pass around a few important snippets. For instance, hp_warning is the percentage at which LOW HITPOINT WARNING occurs and force_more_message means that you have to stop mashing buttons and press spacebar to acknowledge the message. Most people also add lines like force_more_message += .*orbs? of fire.* comes? into view for the game's most dangerous enemies. For example, the bottom of your init.txt might look like code:Microcline fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Gnolls feel really OP, maybe I'm just getting lucky with Xom not loving me over awful enough but I'm at five runes right now and I have literally never had a chaos knight run as successful as this one. I did find the autumn katana, Piercer, and a decent randart chainmail after Lair, but even before I got those I was shredding through everything past the first few floors. Everything I find is something I can use, and it's kind of crazy just how much more versatility I have compared to a character from another race.

Also, just found a stack of 3 acquirements in Lair:2. Didn't know that was possible, good thing I don't believe in portent.

Tollymain posted:what if oka weapon gifts were invoked and spawned as hostile animated weapons Sounds more like a trog thing to be honest. "I gift you this antimagic Exeuctioner's Axe. IF YOU CAN BEST IT IN SINGLE COMBAT!" [EDIT]Not that it sounds fun, mind you. Having weapons spawn around you to kill you from piety gain that you get from killing other things sounds like a recipe for getting murdered by your God mid-fight, and if you wanted that you can just go Xom.

Well, he specified 'invoked' so I assumed you got to pick when you had your duel with a flying axe. Like a Ru sacrifice option: it just shows up on your ability list once in a while.

Grandpa Okawaru definitely needs a boost. But it would be better for the weapons to be Neutral so you can let them be or decide to attack after you've seen it. Or let them deal with threats like freed slaves do

I did a dumb thing and tried to run a ziggurat while hauling the Orb with me. Five or six levels in I get jumped by a horde of angels so I shuffled off to the next one to regen up and keep moving. Then a Pan Lord with Summon Greater Demon makes his move and the storm of Torment and Orb not giving me any blinks forced my hand. I Death's Doored myself, blew a hole in the enemies with a couple shattershot rounds and scampered to the portal out with a couple minor demons on me. I get the warning that DDoor is going to run out, so instead of fighting them I just decided to risk it, step onto the stairs up and took them. That secures the Gnoll and Skald wins for me, filling in that matrix to merely Mummy/Tengu Wanderer left of the ones available in the current version.

It's very similar to doing Nature's Ally 3 (enter Tomb for the first time and get the Golden Rune while carrying the Orb) except more with more roulette. My low cache of consumables clearly points me out as somebody who doesn't quite know when to bail out of a situation

I haven't played much Crawl in a while, so I've been just playing random characters, which clearly cannot go wrong. Anyway, I get a DECK and a fight with Yiuf. He knocks me down to 1 hp so I start to leg it and then this happens What happened  I guess I could go to the IRC channel and try to play with the bots to figure it out but it's been at least 5 years so I probably don't remember any commands

So are Akraisiac stats dead or what? I'm not getting any new games save, even playiong on CAO. E: PMush Perfect posted:Here's mine, might be a little more comprehensive. Why do you have Xom highlighted? E2: I wonder where should I go now. [ur=https://pastebin.com/dS8ViwD0]MiFi of Okawaru[/url] with decent offence but bad offence (MR, rCorr - that's all). I've done Dungeon, Lair, and Orc. Almost got killed right at the Elf:1 stairs, took like a dozen runs to clear Orc:2 properly, had to dump everything to kill the fire giant at the Depths entrance. Haven't tried Swamp or Snake. My problem is that throughout the game I've massed barely no worthy jewellery, and like 15 different unique armours with trash AC and occasional resistance on them. cinci zoo sniper fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Jan 19, 2018 |

Go do Swamp. You've got an axe that can deal with the common Hydra and the occasional animate tree/thorn hunter and can possibly score swamp dragon armour for rPois in order to do Snake without having to be careful. And ditch some of that armour that you have duplicates in; "Nuifis" isn't good and "of Ereb" is already surpassed by "of the New World". That +8 chain mail with rC is still rather good if you want to balance out your defenses instead of that plain plate armour.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Swamp was fine but Pit then killed me nearly instantly. Nagas were shooting poo poo with insane damage. First, turn off every other skill and train Invocations to 8. Wear the rc+ chain. Generally at this point you want to be getting resists. You got screwed in Orc, 2 antique shops and a bookshop and none of the randart armors you bought and IDed helped you. You want to get through Swamp, wear Swamp Dragon Armor if you can't get rpois. Then you can do Snake if you're careful with shock serpents. Rage on your axe is strong but with that MR- you want to replace it fairly soon, the freezing exec axe is as good as you are going to get short of a lucky gift. You also have no ranged attack which is a bad idea, get 8-12 pts in throwing or 10 in xbow for a hand xbow. Minos are also great with bows and regular xbows.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Yeah advice is a bit late but much appreciated If you don't train Invocations, it's like you're playing with no god. People think the main thing with Okawaru is the gifts, but it's the powers of Heroism and Finesse that truly make him useful. Have you ever thought "I want my character to be literally twice as good as it is"? Finesse does that in a combat context, and it costs piety, a renewable resource. 8 is probably enough to use Finesse somewhat reliably? If not, you can get more. (Similarly, Trog's berserk makes you probably 5x as good, but with the inability to react to change, the post-combat slow/passout, etc.).
