A.o.D. posted:It's a victory lap. The hard part was the previous 3 DD runs where you were forced to retire 12 heroes. It's not a very good victory lap and deferring the actual endpoint of the game to the mission where you wander around a dungeon for half an hour fighting trash mobs and minibosses isn't particularly great either. pretty sure most people would agree that it is fairly important for the final climactic boss to be good.

I thought the last fight was great. Not too hard but satisfying and still has a bit of tension in hardmode.

I feel like I've hit a slump in the midgame. All my guys are getting to level 3 and 4 but I'm still seriously lacking in upgrade materials and gold to finish up upgrading the buildings so that I can take on champion dungeons. I want to hire more the new classes to try out but I'm not sure who to kick for the slots. How are you guys managing your roster?

The final boss is pretty easy, yeah, but it's an interesting set piece and provides a satisfying conclusion so I'm good with it.

Well, I just chumped the third darkest dungeon mission. Beelined straight for the center and murdered the poo poo out of the mammoth cyst with leper crits and dogman biscuits, and ended up resisting the teleport 3 times in a row.

Yeah. When they interact with a loot producing curio it adds an artifact that you can sell at the end of the dungeon.

Every single time an antiquarian activates a loot table, it's +250 or +1000 gold, guaranteed, even if it's something as banal as an unused torch sconce.

antiquarian will also find stuff even if she activates curios due to a negative quirk so you should always have her selected in hallways unless you see a trap in your path

Rangpur posted:I think so? Only started a couple weeks ago myself, so right after the Antiquarian was added to general release. The information worked fine for me--upgrading the Stagecoach to drop off 4 guys per week is still a priority. Most of the town stuff was upgraded to be more user friendly/cheaper so that all still applies but is easier to make use of. Just don't try to stall forever with Jesters & Vestals, also you drop dead of a heart attack at 200 stress. The trick to stalling is to do it with either 2 rather ineffectual monsters, such as a bone courtier and a bone crossbowman (or something simliarly harmless), or a single large monster that you can either debuff or stun into relative harmlessness.

Man, the only size 2 I want hanging around is maybe--maybe--a giant crab. And then only if I have a Plague Doctor along to prevent bleed damage. The others are all too prone to loving with your party formation, causing stress, or just outright killing someone on a crit.

The others are all too prone to loving with your party formation, causing stress, or just outright killing someone on a crit. A solo pigtaur isn't that scary, especially if you have a rank 2 vestal or an occultist debuffing his damage. Also, if you have a stunning houndmaster, you can lockdown the brigand champion for 2 and maybe even 3 turns at a time. You don't want to stretch that out forever, but I've comfortably destressed against one for as many as 9 turns before. A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Mar 27, 2016 |

Stun a ghoul with one houndmaster, let the other three Cry Havoc constantly. Even if it shakes off the stun and Howls, you come out ahead, and if it Rends or Skull Tosses your dog target will dodge, guaranteed. All dogs all the time. Optimal Mark party. Selfhealrrs extraordinairre.

Really, the size 2 monsters in the regular dungeons aren't that scary if you know how to handle them, except for the giant.

Are the "Hunger" prompts when exploring just random? It seems like sometimes I get them maybe twice on a Long mission, and then there are times like just now when I go through 3 consecutive hallways and get a hunger prompt each time

Davos posted:Are the "Hunger" prompts when exploring just random? It seems like sometimes I get them maybe twice on a Long mission, and then there are times like just now when I go through 3 consecutive hallways and get a hunger prompt each time Every time you go down a hallway, every tile that isn't a curio, a fight, a trap, or an obstruction has a chance to cause a hunger event or a stress event to a random party member. This includes hallways you've already explored. It seems like there can be multiple stress events, but only one hunger event per trip down a hallway.

I've read that hunger events are just unmarked tiles auto-generated with the map. They can respawn when you reenter a hallway just like fights and traps. So it's possible to avoid them by chance, especially if you path through hallways dense with other tiles.

having more than 1 leper is definitely looking more and more like a mistake, even with a roster size of 28. i could have another plague doctor in that slot. less disease more cure  might just mod my game to allow a slightly larger maximum roster, as is i can't even have 2 of each class. how much effect would that have on the game's balance?

A larger roster just makes the game longer. Technically you only need 16 people to beat it, and unless you go through dudes like toilet paper 12 backups is more than enough.
