I of course immediately killed that absurdly strong demonspawn on Azrael because I was feeling extremely lazy and tried to tab azrael to death instead of using one of many many many more effective options and got damnation'd into oblivion.

I think I'm done with crawl now. Just lost an incredibly strong FoFi in zot5 because I went around a corner and a lich walked onto an alarm trap, resulting in getting dogpiled. Survivable, sure, but then I get loving polymorphed into a bat by a killer klown, who also incidently is wielding throwing nets. Killed in literally 2 moves after that.

alarm traps, honestly, need removing.

You have to admit that's pretty funny though.

Doesn't Jiyva stat shuffling try to make all your stats equal, so that you're well-rounded, like a slime? I thought that's how it used to work...

By 2022 in trunk you just press O and then it tells you if you win or lose based on the win rates for your race and class from previous versions.

I'm actually okay with going completely foodless. Managing hunger didn't make Crawl any more fun and was mostly just a bunch of extra work. It also sucked having a bunch of inventory slots taken up by food.

Edit: I still miss the Labyrinth though... :sigh:

The new Delver background is hillarious. You start on d:5, on staircase leading down, at clvl1, a (3) wand of digging, scroll of magic mapping, fear and fog, and a potion of haste. I have absolutely no idea how to play it.

Dig up, stupid.

You might have noticed earlier if you actually bothered reading what other people post in the thread:

the Orb of Zot posted:

Centaurs are dead. Farewell, most overpowered species of the game.

Fortunately, there was an incredibly small period of time between the addition of the delver background and removal of Centaurs as a playable species, allowing for me to do one last game and win what will almost certainly be the least played combo in crawl's history.

People really don't give Operation Immolation enough credit for trivializing Vaults 5.

That's what I've been using, and it works great until I eventually get squashed by all the other monsters that are drawn in by the sounds of their friends exploding.

Oh? So you just turn on the training of skills with good aptitudes? Too simple, boring, deleted.

In an effort to increase run-to-run variation, experiment with new interesting skill effects, while not increasing xp pressure, the new notion of a skill set is introduced. Only one type of skill from a set can generate normally in a given game. Currently there are two skill sets:

The defensive skill set: alternating between Armour and Evasion.
The offensive skill set: alternating between Spellcasting and Fighting.

Watch this space for future exciting skill sets!
