Destroyenator posted:Couple of other questions: A vampire stole one strength from me and I used a potion of strength to try to get it back but now my character screen shows "Str 6 = 3 +1 -1 +3", so I think I've just got a temporary buff, is restoration the only way to get it back properly? Those potions give you a temporary buff, and also restore stat drain on that stat. So, it's a good way to recover from draining, although you'll want to use them as combat buffs too. Saithnar spawns 'W' enemies as long as you have it equipped. It also has undead slaying so you don't need to worry about this very much. It's an extremely strong weapon. For 1000' I'd say try to find a weapon of sharpness, because you'll want it to pry a silmaril off morgoth's crown. Angrist is best for this and it's also the "canon" way of doing it. Also get a decent amount of will, and at least 1 source of free action (stacking it can be good). Morgoth has some nasty tricks he can use on you. I like song of freedom because it gives free action, closes pits, removes rubble, and opens doors. You'll appreciate all of those effects. Song of slaying is really good in the throne room because it has a shitload of troll guards. If you can fight groups of those in melee (with herbs of rage, usually), you can get a huge slaying bonus. This is maybe the easiest way to kill morgoth in melee, although I wouldn't suggest this for your first win. If you do this you'll wake everything up, and the various uniques on the level can be more dangerous to you than morgoth himself.

Are ambushes in Dungeonmans supposed to be way overpowered? I was doing pretty good with my starting 16/12/15/15 fightermans then got ambushed on the world map and oneshotted by some red bee.

I was getting randomly wrecked by champion enemies until I decided to try a Bannermans. Banner of tankiness + shield + heavy armor lets me shrug off blows from almost any enemy, and gives enough time to drink a few potions for the rest. The perk that gives instantaneous potion drinking has been super clutch as well. I'm tempted to splash Bannermans on most characters in the future, having the ability to prevent being moved by enemy abilities has saved my rear end many times.

There's a major questline, you can reach the end of what's implemented, though the storyline isn't finished-as-envisioned yet. It tells you very obviously when you reach the end of implemented content. It will take you many, many hours of game-play to get to that end. e: On Savage, the red slimes pack a whollop!

There's a main questline that isn't finished but lasts several dungeons. There's also a bunch of sidequests you can wander around and find. Every single world map tile has assorted caves and ruins under it if you really run out of things to do.

Thanks for the help, this was my first character to get past 400'. I got lost trying to go back up from 950' and unexpectedly ended up in the throne room, expected to get stomped but I managed to stealth down to Morgorth, slay ten trolls and take a simaril before running up one of the side passages back to the stairs. Exchange places saved me several times in those corridors. I made it up to 850' and had to go down to escape him and then he eventually caught me on my second 850' in a dead end, earthquaked to close out the exit and killed me as I dug for freedom. What a stressful game, I've just realised I had ~6000 unspent XP and one more potion of constitution I could've fallen back on too. I'm gonna need a break before I play this one again.

CoQ: Not sure if these are known bugs, but I figure there's no harm in reiterating: 1. If you attack an enemy embedded in the wall on the edge of the screen (e.g. a Jilted Lover), attacking the enemy results in the "Building Zone" message being displayed and the game pausing for a moment. Assuming that Jilted Lovers work by occupying an empty space until defeated, at which point they turn into wall, my guess is that during movement, the game checks if the PC is moving into a new area and calls the appropriate code before it checks if there's any enemies in the way. 2. Hitting yourself with an attack can cause you to briefly turn hostile. To yourself. As far as I know, this is only a cosmetic effect, though I could see certain kinds of status effect causing the PC to attack himself. As a more general observation, I've noticed that inventory management feels clunky. Individual actions on items is tolerable, but sub-menus make it a pain to act on multiple items at once (e.g. dropping an old set of armor after finding a new, better one). This is noticeable in the context of traditional roguelikes, where shift-commands usually make bulk interactions easy and efficient, if not intuitive. Of course, putting everything in menus and sub-menus does wonders for the interface as a whole, so perhaps the key is to simply grease the menu system with a couple UI tweaks. I'd suggest a couple things. For one, you could make it so double-tapping an item's letter brings you to the item's submenu, instead of making you tap the letter then the space key. In addition, you could make item letters persist within an inventory section, making proceeding down a list a bit easier to do. dis astranagant posted:e: Steamqud DEVOURS my processor today. 70% processor time just sitting in Joppa, with or without tiles. tinkerttoy fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Dec 27, 2014 |

Time for me to jump on Dungeonmans as well, now that I've beaten Sproggiwood. (Fantastic little game by the way Unormal. My favorite class is Thief I think, although I'm also very fond of the Archer and Farmer.) I know next to nothing about it other than all the glowing praise I've read in this thread, so I'm looking forward to embarking on a journey of discovery and dismemberment.

Also, does there come a point where you just dive? One of the coolest things about sil is there's no such thing as teleport, because it helps make positioning really, really important and forces you to think about where to move. Hallways can be deathtraps, unlike other games where you want to do most of your fighting in them. The AI will try to flank you too. For diving, sometimes it makes sense to dive past the levels where cats spawn, because they are horrible. But it can be a good idea to linger on 900/950' for loot+consumables until the timer runs out and it forces you into the throne room.
