I played Sil as Noldor brawler and was doing great since I found a greatsword at the start of the game

then 200ft deep 3 orcs cornered me against a wall and fucked me

Here's a protip: whenever you're running away in Sil, try to move in a serpentine and never in a straight line.

It confuses the enemy AI since it tries to predict your escape route based on the direction you're running.

What does /rlg/ think of a roguelike-ish game where instead of controlling a single character to get to the bottom of the dungeon or whatever, you're the dean of a school that trains/teaches people (for a fee) to dungeon dive?
You put them through whatever classes you feel will help them, pay for whatever equipment you think will help them succeed and you send them down to whatever dungeon. If they die obviously you lose all the in-game weeks/months/years you spent training them and all their equipment, along with a hit to your reputation as a school that DOESNT send people down to their death. When you send someone down you play it like a normal roguelike (I'm thinking sil-ish except less lotr), except with whatever equipment you gave the character before sending him.

You would collect whatever shit is in that dungeon (You would have a weight limit/inventory space limit based on your strength/what you have on you) and hopefully bring it back up to display in your collection for fame or sell for money to outfit and train your students. Before sending them down, you could put them through a month of weightlifting to increase how much they can carry or swordsman classes to raise swordsmanship. Along with hiring whatever randomly generated characters to teach, you could also hire any students you decide to graduate to be teachers. All npcs like students and teachers have an invisible talent level for each skill that affects how quickly the skills rise and their max cap.

>>127961039
It's probably still worth wearing right away. +30% spellpower is *very* good. The aggravate, while definitely impactful, is manageable and the spellpow is great. Later if you're lucky Athena will drop her spear or something, for another +30%.

Really nice find! Sure not as good as Gandalf's staff but still fucking powerful as fuck. 30% is BIG

>>127961039
>>127961296
actually according to the code it's even higher item powerlevel than Gandalf's because that 30% is ABSURD. Gandalf's gives force brand but this gives spells-fucking-rape-brand

>>127962990
There was a new release like it says in the first line of the OP.

>>127962990
If there isn't a FoTM going on, you can start discussion of most games pretty easily here. People just default to Crawl and more recently PCB when there's nothing else to talk about, since there's always people playing those.

>>127962924
mostly just unlucky. Also you might have herbs of sustenance which are also good food (and other herbs are small food as well in a pinch).

Sil has a lot of good skills but of course the nature of increasing cost within each category the more you have already in that category means you can't get everything you want usually.

>>127962990
Sil 1.3 was released and finally we got around to remembering to put it into the OP.

Speaking of which, >>127954370, mpa-sil-1.3 is also released now, as a branch, courtesy of elliptic: https://github.com/MarvinPA/mpa-sil/tree/sil-1.3.0

try playing a stealth-and-diving build just so you can get a better sense of how the AI orc patrols behave as they sweep through the level, and then go back to fighty-types armed with that knowledge.

the cats are canon. I'm not sure on the worms though.

>>127963261
I'm pretty new to Sil, but I didn't really think they were that tough. I killed one when I fell down a chasm to 250 ft from 150 or so, before I had picked any skills, as a Edain with a longsword.

>>127963704
lmao

>>127963740
It was made worse because he got sandwiched, which gave him a huge evasion penalty so presumably that troll was able to fuck his shit up

>>127963740
I dunno.
I was using a bastard sword plus a haubrek so probably it was just me missing every attack.

>>127963861
r e a d t h e m a n u a l
also armors that penalize your accuracy by more than 1 and also penalize your evasion are rarely worth it except as swaps against archers.

And if you read the manual you'll know why armor is better than evasion vs archers.

Worm masses are gone in 1.3, they were a holdover from Angband. Cats are a bit iffy, there's like one or two lines in Lord of the Rings about the cats of Queen Beruthiel, a Black Numenorian. I think there may be more references to them in Unfinished Tales.

If you find a special weapon and confirmed it's not wolfsbane or gondolin, what other ways can I ID it without loremaster/wield-ID?

>>127961106
Sort of similar to PrincessRL

>>127964757
if it's final rest maybe throwing at an undead (W, remember vampires aren't undead in Tolkein lore, they're just bat-people)

Sharpness could try digging I'm guessing

Also note that if your perception is low and you're in regular (as opposed to mpa-sil) you may not notice it even though you did the proper thing to id it.
It could be Fury which I think you'd just have to wield-id which is risky

Removing things from the game is adding things to the game.

>>127965720
the newest twist in crawl is that like 40% of the crawl players in the thread started playing Angband variants because there's no new mecha race yet or new anything yet

How do you get good at roguelikes? When I play a roguelite, I can always do okay. But as soon as I jump into one of these games, I always feel like I'm way out of my league. Even when playing Brogue and DCSS I feel like I'm just constantly fucking struggling and never sure what item is better than another, how scared I should be when facing a certain enemy, etc. I've read the pastas and such too.

But, for example, I'll watch online play for DCSS to try to learn some tricks. And by the first few dungeon levels, they've got weapons with some sort of resist or brand. Me? I'm stuck with a fucking busted ass weapon I started with, whatever armor I spawned with, and get killed.

I need the ultimate retard's first roguelike. Because even Brogue and DCSS which I hear are easy are even kicking my ass hard. And I want to get good. Every time I play and watch them it's so fun and I love them, but then they bend me over and fuck me in the ass like a two bit whore and spit me back out.

>>127966601
Play online and post a link, people here will guide you.

Add something fucking wild and/or stupid to a roguelike

For example:
Actions are measured in energy units of kilocalories, and the nutrition you gain is, too.

The game measures all your vitamins and minerals, if you don't eat a balanced diet while dungeoning your character progression as you level up suffers slightly.

>>127966601
post screenshots of your character's stats/skills/equipment when you get into a risky spot. This lets you get advice and also forces you to take your hands away from the keyboard and *think* before taking your turn.

You probably also have some tactical habits you should change in terms of exploration patterns, pulling one monster at a time away from a group using a ranged attack, etc. Lots of little things that accumulate to huge change in terms of resources burned etc over the course of a game, stuff that applies across all roguelikes.

>>127966739

You need to pee or shit.

If you're shitting yourself during a fight, you will have to shit on your own armor, and after the fight take it off and clean it all up, which takes several turns and requires water and cleaning items, unless you want to risk an infection.

But if they're autists that want to play well, they'll have to look up basic nutrition

It's a genius plan

Nah, they'll just feel a little more uncomfortable with their diets, they won't do shit

wow hey, finesse can coexist with stasis now. Formicids still suck i guess.

Any way of forcing NPCs in cata mid-play?
I'm feeling pretty lonely but I don't wanna restart.

I guess I could cheat in the skill points to a new game but that'd be pretty awful.

>>127966601
You could try starting with One Way Heroics. It's very forgiving.

ToME4 on normal is also pretty easy.

Or you could try playing Elona+, although that game isn't typically played with permadeath. Elona's gameplay is markedly different from what's typical for the genre though, so it isn't the best representative example.

As the other anon mentioned, you could also try playing a strong melee combo in DCSS and posting in the thread for help whenever you get into trouble. Crawl is one of the easier roguelikes once you have a handle on the game's mechanics.

Brogue is probably one that you should save for later. It's a very well polished game with straightforward mechanics, but its food clock is tight and it's not very forgiving of misplays. Great game though, once you've gotten gud.

>Tfw no way to ID this shit
It's not gondolin or wolvesbane in any case. Should I just hang onto it for a while?

Also, do you guys normally descend quickly or do you take your time on each level?

>>127966601
You should just not worry about sucking, for starters

Try DoomRL too, it's the ultimate retard's first roguelike and yet it counts as a real roguelike that people here mostly won't laugh at you for playing

>>127968390
it's probably crap because it's a broken sword base type

probably

I take my time, but the best player descend quickly so they have as much time available for 950' as they want. I just watched one good player make his way down to 950' way way before the mindepth forced him there (he didn't dive but he didn't dawdle either), got some items for a while, and then (again before being forced to) went down and easily killed Morgoth with just a +1 accuracy 2d5 defender longsword. He was a noldor but still.

>>127968613
Well I also have the staff and the gauntlets i'm curious about.

Is there a roguelike-like game that's kind of like cataclysm (as in sandbox), but high fantasy?
Something like Sil but not dungeon crawling.

I kind of want a sandbox RPG but in the ascii type since it leaves a lot more room for customization and it's more fun for me that way

sorry for request

>>127968715
Dwarf Fortress?

>>127968390
I'm not good at Sil but my relatively successful stealth Edain runs usually just dive relatively quickly while trying to grab some loot or attempt a couple of stabs for more exp. If I'm doing an elf or dwarf I usually take my time in hopes of a forge, although I'm starting to think relying on a forge is not a good way to build a character.

>>127968791
No, I mean with character customization.

You play as @, not wee-men

>>127968686
I'm guessing the gauntlets are either "of the forge" or "of the swordmaster" or whatever they're called. IMO just wear them and hope they're not bad...

And if they are bad, well, test the staff. You want to test staff on a stair (in case it's summoning), ideally while wearing a cursed item (in case it's sanctify i.e. remove curse), near a closed AND an open door (for opening/binding), near a monster, with an in-ided item (if it's identify), and with a chargeable item (in case it's recharging)

Hygiene and cooking minigames. If you neglect your hygiene you get charisma malus, and if you fuck up your grooming you get a malus to self-esteem/confidence. Cooking minigame involves assembling all ingredients and tools and can take place in several stages (example: preparing a cheese sauce that is a component for your baked macaroni). Different from C:DDA cooking in that you don't use a standard recipe, but can combine/prepare any ingredient(s) in anyway. Must be needlessly complex

>>127968975

This is *identified*, by the way. It has no resists or anything. Pretty bad.

8d5 is a lot

>>127972320
it's a mauler weapon for the most part, IIRC
very heavy, with some situational use by other classes for its big dice before they find better

>>127972401
Only an average of 24 damage. At this point I'm seeing ego weapons with more than that to-dam as drops in the arena. Although I guess it has synergy with slays from your other equipment.

Too bad I'm a shieldmaster

>>127968141
Turn on dynamic NPC.
Turning on static NPC won't have any effect unless you make a new world.

Is there a difference between ADOM and ADOM II? Or is it just some kinda port? Curious because it doesn't seem too different.

>>127972769
the damage average is low because you're probably getting very very few blows per round with such a heavy weapon

It would get better as you got super high stats, and also if you were a class that used its weight

That weapon can definitely do pretty high damage in the right character's hands

>>127971210
no

What happens when you're above the min depth in sil? Does the game try to kill you or something?

As far as I know nothing changes except that trying to go up a floor will instead put you at your mindepth instead.

Does having a buttload of bionics in CDDA make NPCs dislike you?

I mean I've got a lot but not one of them says "this will make you ugly as sin" in the description, all of them sound pretty "internal", yet I can't persuade/intimidate npcs worth butt.

>>127979505
No, but some/mutations make you uglier and make NPCs like you less.

You can also improve results by raising your speech skill I guess.

Yeah it's probably the shitty speech skill.

Is adventurer class in Tome4 easy mode?
Or is it just "i want to min-max everything" autism mode, without making the game pointless?
Also, if i've unlocked the classes by copy-pasting, will i still get the achievements/the things that unlock them?

So what level do (greater) vaults actually start showing up in PCB?

I've been to floor 67 so far (not counting a dip into lvl75 Mine to read aquirement), and I haven't seen a single one.

>>127980780
Adventurer is the class that gives you every skill tree, right? I haven't played much with it but apparently you can get some pretty OP builds.

Anyone playing Shadow of the Wyrm manage to find a cure poison potion?

adventurer may be broken but iirc the cost of picking the skill trees is pretty high and they should complement each other too so it's not really the easiest option

oozemancer used to be the snore mode when hard was easier with it than normal with other classes, not sure how it's now

is there any reason to keep your level low in E+ ?

Adventurer is and will be the "special" class, basically exist for when you want to do something very retarded, by this virtue is with archmage the easy class to clear high difficulties (just go meteoric shalore unarmed magic spammer).

You do not get the chevoos by copy-pasting/using the addon. You also have to unlock ashes.

This. Adventurer can become OP, but it takes its damn while to get there.
It isn't weaker than any other class, but it isn't stronger either, unless you get to the late levels/are playing with no level cap (like the infinite dungeon).

Speaking of the infinite dungeon: is it possible to come out of it with a "telport to anglvar" (or whatever that archm,age town is called)? Or are you stuck there forever once you enter it?

I'm talking about the Infinite dungeon acfter the campaign, but i'm intersted to know if this is the case also for archmages created in infinite dungeon mode.

>>127983634
>How do you know there's even permadeath?

it's permadeath like in any roguelike, you may still create a new character but well the old one died, or moved to an unaccessible location, like ascended

>>127985032
why would you fight death? he's not there to fight you. he only comes to release you from your worldly sorrows and guide you to your next adventure.

Once you enter the infinite dungeon (iirc you need an addon to make it actually over level 50, otherwise it's capped I think) you cannot leave. EVER. You simply don't have the talent.

Also

Adventurer is the goto OP class after archmage, grab bloodthirst, shalore, and spellcombat, grab unarmed and earth, you need to gimmick it to level 10~ but then it's livin the life of spamming hits everywhere.

so i am playing an ogre sun paladin on TOME.

i got the ogre racial ability that lets me hold a 2H weapon + shield, suffering a "50% less damage proc on your *offhand* weapon". this would let me unlock and use both 2h weapon skills and shield skills for maximum fiery justice. in theory.

i have the passive ability(Weapon of wrath) that adds fire damage based on % of my hp lost on every attack and i have the passive ability(shield of light) that let me do a free shield attack for 45% shield damage everytime i do a normal attack.

unfortunately pic related happens.
my weapon of wrath was supposed to hit for 158 damage on the main attack and possibly a smaller amount on the free shield attack. instead the log tells me i have only hit for 40 fire damage during the entire turn.
40 = 158 * 0.45 * 0.5 -> it seems like it's coming from my shield.
if i deactivate my shield of light i do around 80 fire damage, meaning my main hand damage is reduced by the ogre passive even though it's supposed to be offhand only.
if i remove my shield i litterally hit for 160 fire damage, almost doubling my damage per turn?

is this supposed to be a bug? is there any way to solve it?
fuck this build.

if i wanted to buy Tome4 on Steam, do i miss out on all the goodies the donators get?
Or do i, by buying both the base game and the DLC, get everything behind the paywall?
Also, why the fuck does the Tome4 pack cost 20 euros but contains only the base game?

>>127986367
I think it's bugged, try re-starting.

>>127986479
ToME4 on steam is with ALL the donator things.

yes, they were "kind of boring" when you had fought them a billion times already.

I guess it's possible if a Steam link to the tome4 account is possible, but better safe than sorry.

Finally, what does the 20 euros pack have in addition to the base game + dlc? It says it contains only the base game, but maybe i'm retarded and haven't noticed anything else.

But WHY, exactly, is the Amulet of Yendor so powerful? I mean, clairvoyance is nice and all, but that's all it's good for. Why would the gods bother with this shitty trinket?

The bow metagame at start was nerfed pretty hard. You barely did a fraction of the damage you did and much worse accuracy. And perception no longer gives ranged bonuses because being able to hit a target more than 20 tiles away with 14 per, 14 dex, 8 marksmanship, 7 rifles with a tricked out minimum accuracy penalty rifle triggered them harder than a firmly erect big black cock with a tiny hat on the glans at a feminism rally.

if you get an archery book so you can craft fletched wooden and fletched metal arrows and have the str for one of the better bows it still bends over most towns. It's ironically kind of easier now despite the nerfs cause you can carry 300+ arrows in a shopping cart without having to sacrifice enc for storage or be hurt by your max carry weight. Later in the game you'll transfer to a repeating crossbow or pneumatic bolt driver and chew through hulks

It was until they book locked the recipes. You can kill everything up to a hulk with a fucking nail board and take zero damage doing it. Then kill the hulk with your pitted corners or checkboard of shallow pits. You can punch hulks to death without an art. But be able to make an arrow that does more than a rock of damage without needing a semi-rare book? Over the line!

So I'm playing a ninja demigod in PCB and I was looking at the ladder entries for them and quite a few seemed to have taken Ambidexterity for them which I didn't really get since Ninjas can master dual-wielding anyway.
How does the stabbing shit work?
I was thinking that if I went with weapon versatility I could be doing huge stabs with any kind of good weapon that I find.
Also since I'm a demigod I guess I'll have pretty good device skill by the end so Demonic Grasp is a must take at 40.
Any tips and thoughts would be appreciated.
Really liking the stealthy ninja playstyle so far.

>>127999530

>For what purpose other than stats?
It simply plays better. I started offline too and thought the inventory on the right is absolutely indispensable. Turns out it's not; while it helps, I prefer the windows and menus in the online version. Not to mention the enemy display on the right which helped not to die like an absolute retard a few times, and of course spectating + chat.
>but I have no friends who would watch me play some boring ass roguelike
Me neither, yet I still watch people and get watched sometimes. It's fun. Also you can get over not having a mouse support within an hour, which is how long it takes to get completely used to P, R, T W and x.

>>128002660
Forcing you to open menus to use your consumables is better than having the inventory since it gives you a brief pause from the action which will make you less likely to play as fast as you can. Very helpful in the long run.

>>128002645
Well I think it's less about the attitude and more about the drinking since it's Saturday night.
However I've been playing roguelikes for like 20+ years already so losing a character doesn't faze me much anymore.

>>128002660
All of this is irrelevant if you are playing on console. Except getting help/advice from spectators.

you should try to get over your dislike for ASCII since after you do, you'll realize that most, if not all, tiles are absolute turds. Especially Tome's.
Poschengband is a fun still maintained *band-variant like ToME used to be.
Maybe however you should go for Sil or Furyband since they're closer to ToME if that's really what you want.
Just play Sil, it's so fucking good.

It doesn't work like that, there was a game on the ladder that tried. You still get a big penalty for wielding a non-ninja weapon. That said, you can't master all of the appropriate weapons so it might have some use.

>>128003520

Game is so fucking brutal when it gives you a gold bag of garbage and no detect magic. You can't hold onto enchantment for shit and then this happens

One of the coolest vaults in the game. You know if it was made today it wouldn't get in because muh monster renames and muh custom tiles.

if you showed this to a medieval guy he would probably think it a moralizing picture meaning that a self-destroyer would be met by some huge eyed demons in the hell

notice the hair of flame and the lights of hellfire in the eyes of the demon

Not gonna bet on myself.
Brogue ally ai has fucked me twice today. First the monkey getting burned in the brushfire key vault and now, my ogre runs off a wraith just barely then allhu ackbars into an ogre totem pack while I'm bone dry of stave charges and can't malpot without fucking him too

Seems like a lot of my potions cancelled each other out, oh well.

MP powered wands might be manageable with +20% more mana, and deterioration is nullified.

Should I quaff a !cMut and hope it gets rid of the bad ones, or just play it out?

>>128006278
Yeah I dunno, thinking I'm gonna have to empower this ogre and try to get it lightning, slow and heal. I can't see myself lasting long enough to find a new ally and I can't build him for melee without having haste or plenty. Fug. I can feel the d:18 death already. Ideas?

Eh, I just figure if someone wants a jellymancer build just dig through a seed catalog for it. I feel doing a jellymancer run is punishment enough for using the seed.

Seeds are an awful concept that I hate more than anything.
They should just be done away with.

>>128006825
Brogue seeds are great for races.

>>128006278
Sometimes I wonder if the developer intentionally made allies retarded.

I haven't played in a while, but this is new to me.

should I play chess with Xom?

>>128006825
they should first rework the game to not be startscumming based and let at least one build function even if you don't get the perfect items for it

>>128006447
Yeah I can't see a way out of this without empowering him and hoping I can get enough ench and a troll or naga to put it in before they die cause they wont have jack shit for support when caster brogre gets railed by gas lighting or allahu ackbaring into a kraken or tentacle horror or some retarded shit. Gonna get some water to think it over and inb4 get it invisible

>>128006825
Out of like a thousand games you play there'll only be a handful you can even start it It's like spawning a jiyva altar in temple so you can finally play it.

A seed catalog is kind of ass cause of the spoilers kneecapping the challenge if you misuse it but having seeds for competitions is nice

>>128007053
He did. Still haven't put the ally control patch in either. Same with crawl.

Is there a bank or some place where to store items without a limit in Tome4?

>>128007132
>ally control patch
Someone actually made an ally control patch and he rejected it?

>>128007015
Well that I agree with but I just hate the concept so fucking much.
It's just my opinion of course and I understand people disagreeing with it but something like >>128007103 and >>128007132 would be much more to my liking.
Emphasis on "my".

>>128007202
Shertul place but you gotta kill the boss for it.

>>128007103
It's not startscumming based though. Those players need more time in the seed catalog trying items out to break preconceptions of x is shit and figuring out how to use them well. Then, now that much less is wasted on them they can cobble runs together. If the forum didn't die I'd link to the weekly comps where a handful had a winrate of like 80%

>>128007214
I don't know if he outright rejected it but it's not like he's went boy howdy this sure makes my game less shit, here's a release guys.

>>128007317
I see. Meanwhile where should i leave my useful, but too heavy shit?

>>128007103
How the fuck is Brogue startscumming based?

>>128007510
Baddies are much less bad with a seed that has a +4 broadsword, +4 plate, +5 lightning staff, +5 regen ring

>>128007103
Some seeds are so bad that you basically cannot win them. I believe the developer even said that not all seeds are meant to be winnable.

>>128007510
step 1) that anon startscums
step 2) that anon assumes we do too
step 3) that anon is fucking retarded

>>128007605
Allies are the badplayer build. I say this because they are all I can win with.

>>128007631
That's rarely true and more often a case of baddies being bad. There's often mistakes made and a santa sack of missed opportunities.

>>128007631
This is bullshit.
Read some Brogue tourney threads and git gud.
You might be thinking of TGGW.
Even here, where most people are much worse at Brogue than tourney regulars, we get people going far on most seeds posted while others die at d4-7.

I hate Brogue allies so much
I know it's not unpopular to do so, but most focus on the mechanical aspect of them (they're a pain in the ass)
but I don't like them from a flavor standpoint either
I'm the fucking adventurer, fuck you

FUCKING EVERY FUCKING ROGUELIKE WINDOWS ARE FUCKED UP ON WINDOWS FUCKING 8.
EVERY FUCKING GAME.
THIS IS WHAT BROGUE LOOKS LIKE AS IS.
FUCK YES I MAD!

Also PCB keeps constantly resizing the windows and I've tried absolutely everything to remedy it.
I think it's time to end it.

about this shadow of the wyrm thing... where can i even have the list of the commands, ? or h don't work and the guy didn't bother to write any readme or something

>>128009137
I play pcb on windows 8 nothing like that happens.

>>128009137
brogue pgup/pgdown resizes window

pcb alter the settings in poschengband.ini if it's being annoying

>>128009137
Press PgDn or -

>>128009137
I played Brogue on 8 and that didn't happen
You can alt enter for fullscreen

>>128009410
>>128009401

>>128009137
pgup/pgdn or the keyboard -/= resizes. Don't play on an 800/600 terminal?

It does indeed work on the menu screen, maybe not on w8, but it does on 7.

Apparently it can't path to me and is summoning forth a terrible army of molds.

I just discovered that I get more mana from using eat magic on clarity rods than actually using them, which seems kind of silly.

so in infra what's even the point of cloud mind or the whole rogue class altogether if enemies past depth:5 can generally just see you even if you picked all stealth traits, see you again the next turn you cast cm and can't be oneshot by stabbing anymore?

>>128009137
I play the Windows version of PCB via Wine and I never have any issues with the window sizes not being remembered by the system.

>>128008480
Died to the classic Conjurer+Paralysis trap combo. Held space through the death so no screenie.

>>128010492
reset agro after noise or getting seen so you can down a whole pack of cultists

Except that's the case if you didn't get imperceptible? You can usually kill half to 3/4 then get the rest with a calm mind or keep your distance and stealth right past them. You're probably opening doors or using a noisy weapon. Stuff outside dagger stabbing you just shoot or avoid. You don't have to kill everything and pretty much anything you can't daggerstab is just draining your bullets/consumables anyway. If you took treasure hunter and +carry weight stuff, good ammo management lets you get the benefits of being able to avoid 3/4 of the fights you don't want to and have almost the same accuracy of a war vet

>>128008480
Herpaderped into a vampire bat. Figured two not fully id'd trasnferrance rings would pull the weight. I realized I was wrong too late and fucked up trying to quaff for life instead of running as the bat burned.

>>128010865
cultist's are never an issue unless you get nailed in a wall as soon you open a door

and i know opening doors in noisy but you are forced to open them unless you spawn in the same room as downstairs
