I love dying to obfuscated randomness hidden in the code that I have no way of knowing about or planning for. It's the best.

The slightly less/slightly more than 1 aut thing allows you to escape from regular speed enemies in the absence of haste/swiftness.

demigods are obviously worhipping themselves.

Demigods should gain a set of powers as they ascend towards godhood. Sort of like Demonspawn in that they gain a random set of muts, but instead it is one of five or six fixed power sets.

I had Boots of the Assassin, but couldn't wear them anymore when Hooves hit 3. Close to getting Dragon's Call castable. Opened a ton of shops and still haven't found a randart shield. The gloves are awesome. Huge damage increase.

I really miss rMut being more readily available.

Trove showed up this game. 15 Teleport scrolls. Rough nowadays since Teleport doesn't show up on wands. Luckily, they show up in Abyss, so I scummed for 7 or so.

I really like the mutation changes. 39% chance of getting a whole set of good muts sounds great. Don't get a nice set? Well, you'll likely have 16 more potions to try for a better set. This will also encourage eating the purple since it will be simpler to clear a bad set.

edit: Being able to easily clear bad muts makes malmutate less awful. The rarity of Cure Mut made it dangerous to experiment in case you get malmutated. This just means you'll be rotating through different ones after Slime or periodically during extended.

I'm really enjoying the new mutation system after playing through a few games.

High Elves should come back with the opposite ability of Bultungins. They learn slowly at first, but when they stick with a skill they can become an expert on it.

-6 to start
-4 at skill level 4
-2 at skill level 12
0 at skill level 16
+2 at skill level 20
and +4 at skill level 24.

-10% hp
+10% mp
high starting stats, but slow gains to int and dex
+5 mr per lvl

edit: And Bultungins should get a reduction in their skill penalty at level 23 or something.

My Hep ancestor keeps running off and attacking plants in the middle of battle. It's bizarre.

Well, the reason it wasn't working was all me. Hadn't added anyone to MY RC file after initially setting it up. I think it should be straightened out now.

On a more positive note, I'm getting pretty close to a 2-win streak with a Necromancer Hybrid of Hep.

Thanks to Thalamas for setting up Purple For The Win. I looked for the rest of the team to do some spectating, but I couldn't find you guys when I was playing. What time/server were you guys on? I only managed one three-rune win, but it was the combo high score for MuIE. And congratulations to Who Left the Gnolls Out!

Congrats on the Mummy win! We came in 31st this tournament.

wulfric and I both play akrasiac. Usually on in the evenings Pacific time. You?

Snuck one last win in for a total of six this round, including a 2-win streak. Got Spellbinder in a shop and sailed easy from there.

Why is this game worth almost 2 billion points?

https://crawl.project357.org/morgue/edsrzf/morgue-edsrzf-20160320-213950.txt

And the player:

http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/players/edsrzf.html

And for what it's worth, I still enjoy playing Crawl. I do miss things that have been removed, but overall I thing the game is significantly better than it was a few years ago. The Tomb changes are the ones I probably disagree with the most. Extended is such a slog and Tomb has always been the worst of it. Greater Mummies are loving awful. Without being able to stairdance to get away from their summons, I'll stick to 14 rune games from here on out.

Crawl has become much more accessible to new players over the last few years. The learning curve isn't so steep. Having all of the info about monsters, items, and deities available in game without having to navigate the help menus is probably the best set of changes made.

Got my first win after about a month of playing, feels good! After playing solely MiBe, what's a good relatively easy class to jump into next? Also, is there any way to figure out how many games you've played besides counting all the morgue files?

If you're playing online, you can check your stats here.

GrFi is the easiest combo, in my opinion. You could give that a try next.
