I lust in my heart for as many dead refugees as possible.
I've been trying to get a CK of every race but I'm getting bored with it so it's time for a break. Suggest a species, a background, and a god and I'll go play it and report back. It's not an LP or anything but if anything funny happens I'll screenshot it. Oh and I won't play anything I've already won or anything completely stupid like DDAE of Chei. Help me out, gamers!

I'll try one of each, but anything of Jiyva is stupid because TRJ is sitting on top of the only guaranteed altar.

A Tengu Fire Elementalist of Vehumet. My personal favorite combo.

Same I am horrible. I played a lot of Tome recently though, I wonder if any of those skills translate. I will try a Minotaur berserker next.

Also OP, I am assuming CK is a win but I haven't found what this stands for?

It's Chaos Knight, the background that starts with Xom. I won a Felid Chaos Knight once but it was not pretty.

FiMo was doing well, wands of tele, haste and heal wounds, haste castable, even brooch of shielding, but died going for the Slime:6 altar. I hate going Jiyva first because it's a stupid crapshoot and I'm going to skip VSMo of Jiyva for that reason.

They're killer bees back up by a queen bee that makes them go berserk, and those are the only bees in the game.

play slow and slow down further when you think you might be in trouble

(human instinct is to panic and play fast when you're in danger; this works out really badly for turn-based tactics games)

in general, when you see enemies, don't walk towards them; let them come to you. (that way, you don't end up fighting both them & all their mates all at once.) pegging guys with rocks is a good way to get their attention without all the noise that shouting creates.

play a gargoyle berserker in 0.15

Shoals is the hardest of the Lair branches, besides Slime of course. If you have rPois the other one is almost always easier, and for a lot of chars they're easier even without rPois.

Chei is awful for both casters and nagas and NaIE combines the two.

You don't have to stay purely caster, unless Chei no longer gives you bonus stats. My NaIE was a melee machine.

I know that dude, the problem is that hybridizing the early/early mid game is a nightmare and it's compounded by taking 3 turns to move a single square.
