So, another Forays question. I'm at depth 12, furthest i've gotten. I was lucky enough to pick up too scrolls of enchantment. However, which should I pick to enhance? So far, I think the dagger is the best weapon in the game because in the dark it can totally ignore the combat stat. between the rest their uses is arguable. The sword seems good for high hit points and regenerates. Mace despite ignoring armor seems lackluster and the staff uses really comes in handy only when facing berserkers, zombies occasionally, and a boar. The bow just seems like trash.

The problem with CDDA ascii (and everything with CDDA really) is that it's a complete clusterfuck. The menus are inelegant, cluttered, and sometimes downright obtuse to use, the sidebar is a mess- though this is a tough one since the information it needs to convey is pretty all over the place.

Even after quitting it still upsets me when people post screens of it. Not that the tiles are any better.

Yeah, the narrow (default) sidebar is gross, and the only reason it exists (I assume) is because they had too much crap to fit otherwise.

I don't really see what you mean. The construction menu is pretty clunky, but that's just a singular menu, and the others seem fine to me. The sidebar has a lot of data squeezed into a small area, but the way it's displayed seems clear enough.
I mean, there are ASCII games that actually have bad interfaces. Like ADOM, with it's separate keystrokes for everything, including cleaning your ears. Or DF, with its dozens of menus. What does Cata do worse than those?

>>123379841
It's not about ease of use.
It's about it looking like shit.

It stemmed from a question of why /rlg/ tends to dislike tiles.

CDDA ASCII is bad ASCII in a way comparable to ToME4 tiles being bad tiles.
>>
>>123365523
Tiles can be done well.

That said, I think there's often a neat prettiness that goes into the choices for ascii, and players who refuse to spend a few hours with the ascii don't expose themselves to enough of it to see that.

Also, tiles cannot be used in a terminal and thus displayed over termcast while ascii can. Termcasting is one of the ways I participate as a member of an online roguelike community.

there's a way to fix stupid blob spawns like that, by editing a line in the overmap specials.

Okay.
Well, I still don't see how Cata is exceptionally bad looking. Basically all the old classics look worse. Angband, Nethack, original Rogue.

I don't really think not looking like shit is a major selling point for ASCII games, anyway. If you want pretty graphics, you make actual graphics. What I expect from good text graphics is to be able to see what everything is at a glance.

I think you have a bad case of shit taste if you think Rogue or Nethack (in their updated versions) look worse than CataDDA. Especially Nethack. What the hell are you on about? Will agree that Angband ascii is pretty bad.

The point of the original post was that it's hard to do ASCII wrong- even rudimentary ascii looks fine, but tiles is so so easy to do wrong.

Does it still retain the "gains hit and damage bonus on kills" property through that or does it just become a normal sword? Not sure how that works.

>>123393084
Never did it, but I presume it loses that too since otherwise everyone would be saying to mundanity your rune sword.
>>
>>123392728
>rune swords
Those are a bit tricky. They start out as (-50, -50) and slowly increase if you're killing strong enough things and at deep enough depths. It's pretty quick to get it up to (+0, +0) by holding ctrl and a direction to farm worm masses, but it takes ages to get all the way up to (+50, +50)...most people give up well before then. As its plusses improve, it gains various brands and slays, and it always keeps the lifedrain.

You'll need plenty of strength and +damage items if you want to actually be able to damage things with it, and the sword itself actually needs to get the kill (in case of dual wield) to have a chance at getting another plus.

It's "permanently cursed" which means the only way to remove it is to read a ?Mundanity, which totally nukes the item and cannot be reversed. I'd recommend making sure you have one ?Mundanity to save in your house in case you decide to change your mind.

The AC penalty is pretty hefty, for sure, but the lifedrain helps a lot.

Fully stacked runeswords are sweet but really not worth the time. However, if you have ?Mundanity you may as well give it a shot. There are very few permanently cursed items worth using that you would also want to remove ever (in an equipment reshuffle say), so you'll likely find another ?Mundanity before reaching that point if you ever do.
>>
>>123393084
Mundanity causes an item to lose EVERYTHING. In this case, the weapon would become a 0d0 weapon with no abilities.

>>123393221
further clarification, beyond getting to +0 +0 the depth or strength of thing you have to kill in order to have a CHANCE at getting another increase is based on the monster's strength and the depth, plus IIRC uniques always give a chance.

So you can freely worm farm it up to 0,0 but after that you have to start killing real things. And getting from +49 to +50 is a lot harder than +0 to +1.

I'd say menu structure has very little to do with anything BUT ease of use. Visually, it's just text. Like, not even characters representing objects, but actual text you read. How do you even judge that?

And yeah, I think Nethack looks kind of shit. Look at this picture here. Is this honestly your idea of PRETTY? It doesn't even bother with box-drawing characters for the walls, it just uses lines, so the corners don't even tesselate. And the positive-space corridors are garish. The graphics serve their function, but I would absolutely not use this as an example of good visual design.

I pretty much agree with your assessment of tiles vs. ASCII, though.

You just saved me so much time, I decided to go ahead and use it since I've got a mundane scroll in my house. I did have to fiddle with my equipment in a way I didn't like while I'm getting it up to normal stats though, I had negative damage at first.

Charm is acceptable too.
ID is usually best left for staves and wands, to know the exact amount of charges they have at the time, other items id or semi-id after a period of time. It can be useful for other things (rings because they take a long ass time to ID, armor when you're trying to choose or know a runic) but wait on it. ID scrolls are very rare, by the way.
About potions, just quaff them, near water is a good idea most of the time. Hopefully one of them is detect magic. IDing in an unexplored level can be beneficial (because of said pot) but be careful.

Yeah, once you have a jack put in at least 4 redundant banded cart wheels inside of the quarterpanels/boards. You crunch more loot but it keeps you going in a pinch long as you have the acceleration

Thanks. I died as a result of wading passed some eels and quaffing creeping death before I had a chance to recover some HP. I was relying on those blood plants for HP regen since I've heard so much about how brogue will starve you to death if you wait around. I managed to ID detect magic, I assume red means nonmagic, blue means magic? How does this work for potions?

>>123395627
Red = bad, Blue = good
>>
>>123395627
In potions, red means harmful to you, blue means good.
In items, red is cursed (negative enchantment, possibly a cursed runic) blue is blessed (the oppossite: positive enchantment and possibly a good runic). Something that was on the level/your pack when !DMagic was used and doesn't get blue/red will be ID'd as +0.
For staves and wands, since they can't be used directly on yoursefl, red means bad when used on enemies (and good when used on allies, be mindful of that) blue means good when used on enemies (tele is still good on allies).

Use the Discoveries screen for a bit more info.

Thanks guys. Its really nice that they tell you the distribution of items via D. One last thing before I start cooking for the holidays. Would the brand on this axe activate when I hit multiple dudes with cleave? Is this axe worth enchanting further?
>>
>>123397326
>Would the brand on this axe activate when I hit multiple dudes with cleave?
Yes, hitting more than one thing will give you more chances to activate the runic.

> Is this axe worth enchanting further?
Probably? It will tell you the chance of activation once you kill enough stuff with it.

Enjoy being sanic.

Enchanting the Haste charm to +8 gives you 33% uptime. It's incredibly good.
And an Axe of Speed is a very good weapon. Haste+Speed weapon is a very strong melee build.

Stock up on cotton balls from disassembling pillows. If you have the first aid book to read to first aid 3 you get a decent amount of hp back per ball and in a pinch you can slam booze to drop your pain. I love me a hip flask/small plastic bottle of cheap whine.

Take a looooooong, hard look at volumes and your priorities. It's practically harmless to carry an ample amount of medicines. 20 cotton balls is only 10 volume and with 3 first aid should get you a good 80 health back.A tin can lets you boil water immediately. A few long strings lets you craft stone pots, shovels, axes, adze's, and a camp fire drill without fuss.No doubt you've had more than a few plastic bottles, you can empty all that cough syrup into a bathtub, make a note, then make a few makeshift funnels and keep 3ish.If you ever get run off, it's easy to make a cap fire drill for fire, you can forage up some food and containers, setup some funnels near a dense stand of trees then get down to making spiked pits. If you can pick off some zombies for leather for waterskins and leather funnels it's even better. It's not to hard to have a crash kit still with the ~50 enc you'll have at 10 or less torso enc so you can survive indefinitely in a medium sized forest. Although, it is preferred you make caches of a little permafood, funnels, water, and spare tools as you can.

To be fair, acid rain probably benefited the player more than harmed because all the monsters would melt.

>>
>>123409663
It's not that, I've seen a video in which the player does damageless UC N!, has 100% killrate, and only gets Azrael's Scythe. I just saw a video where the same player does not have 100% killrate when entering UC, takes damage in UC, and still gets the dragon slayer.

I have a suspicion that a damageless Hell's Arena is a condition, but I'm not sure and not good enough to pull off the run yet. It's the main difference between the two replays I watched.

I'm pretty sure that having the Dragonslayer will spawn the Berserker Armor in the Mortuary or Limbo, I know I've seen suggestions that doing those levels damageless is a condition to get it to drop, but it is not true.

0.9.9.7 on both, they're relatively recent videos.

Here is the non-100% kills non-damageless UC video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVqzhRAi0sY

Here's the 100% kills, damageless UC video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eLeQzxSLlY

From searching I have done, I think that total damage taken may play a part in the spawning, as well as having a fairly high kill rate.

Has anyone here ever won with Octopode Berserker, Gladiator, Chaos Knight, or Fighter? Rings of Protection and Slaying are not common enough it seems. My defenses remain too low even if I get a good early game.

I'm feeling like creating a roguelike but I don't want to poop out a dungeon crawl or another 7 day roguelike.

I'm thinking a project I can get super into for a few months with a wide scope and then release the source before abandoning it because I'm too much of a bitch to finish things so some other sap can pick it up and do the rest for me.

So it'll probably be a rogue-ish. Ala cata.

Someone talking shit about a western roguelike with comfy aspects and bionic horses resonated with me so lets take a bit and worldbuild.
Lets start with some mechanics.

>Open world.
>Randomly generated settlements, cities and towns.
>Rideable horses and somewhat indepth gunplay.

I'll take time and work on a gunplay system.

Maybe things like trick shots and all that but I'm not sure how I'll make melee worth a shit.

I want to go full autist and maybe have special moves and things to manage to help you shoot things, a possible action point system and the ability to learn and improve moves.

Things like shooting from horseback, diving to evade getting shot while shooting, shooting from cover, preforming trickshots to disarm.

Quickdrawing.

Give me some more cool things.


And just overload me with things that I probably won't impliment.


Settings, mechanics.
The works.

I want it to be a bit fantasy-western setting.

Possibly western themed apocalyptic but that seems a it overdone, not bad just not sure how I'd spin it.

>You know in advance roughly how many enchantment scrolls will spawn per playthrough,
No you don't. Like the rest of the loot, it's random.

>but choosing when and on what to use them is not easy.
Yes it is. Use them on your aux items immediately. If you're coming up on post Lair:8 to early midgame branches, maybe save one to create a *DA if you haven't found something comparable yet.

Character advantage in Crawl is worth the most at the earliest points of the game, and decreases from there. Always use your available resources at the earliest possible chance. Hanging onto them only makes your character weaker during the hardest part of the game.

>>You know in advance roughly how many enchantment scrolls will spawn per playthrough,

It's not truly random. Brogue always tries to generate roughly the same number per seed. I don't remember what the sweet spot that it likes is, but it's a very weighted random.

Fistfights increase base statistics. This incentivizes melee combat. Problem is, most enemies won't ever let you get close enough to punch them. Melee has a disarm/steal weapon attack.

>>123433980
yeah you need to run away a lot

I find that mages benefit from some investment into stealth, and use thrown things to help reduce the burden on your mana

if you find a particularly nice stack of throwables (say, curare needles) it can be worth getting just a wee bit of throwing skill even.

Anything with respectable stats can get middling spellcasting to have ### or lower hunger cost and make up the difference by carrying chunks from the freshest corpse(s) you kill. It's enough to have your level 4's powerful and spamamble by lair, level 5's by lair branches, level 6's by vaults.

D1-4 or so is pretty awful for most mages. You really have to make the most of your meager mana pool, but there are a lot of ways to really stretch it that you won't learn as a tablord. You should always be throwing tomahawks, rocks, javelins and nets. Zap garbage wands that you'd never use otherwise on popcorn. Pickup and use whatever branded spear/whip/shortsword you can, even with 0 skill. Depending on what kind of backround you have, a 0 skill spear will be a major source of damage. That hobgoblin's dagger of venom could have carried your sorry ass to lair. Make sure you're always pulling enemies from unexplored areas into explored territory, and learn how to pillar dance. Watch some mumo vods to see how Dck and Blls evaluate and dance around, its extremely helpful. Oh, and make sure you ALWAYS engage with a full mana pool.

There's not a lot of variation in "The first enemy I encountered as a deep elf warper nd then it killed me the end amen" kits.

I'll just chunk all my dispersal tomahawks and use my scroll of blinking on the first hobgoblin I see next time.

Oh shoot, my bad. I was doing some other stuff and only saw the initial comment. I don't have too much experience with warpers, but it should mostly play out like a low AC/HP melee dude. You can almost always get away with getting your weapon to 1 delay and pumping fighting a bit so that you can put that extra experience elsewhere if you really need. A lot of what goes into playing a low AC/low HP melee dude that can't wear plate successful is extremely careful exp allocation, so play around with it a lot to see what works. Don't sweat the early D kobolds with branded shit, it happens.

All of them.

Try the ones linked in the OP and see what floats your boat.


Wild opinions ahead:

Brogue is elegant as fuck but not very replayable once you've learned enough about the game to ascend.

DoomRL is fun with a bunch of challenges, but having to listen for things is kind of annoying.

OWH is charming, although it breaks a bit from the traditional style.

ToME is about breaking the game hard enough that your big numbers are bigger than the biggest numbers of that randboss and its 12 friends over there. Whether this is fun is left as an exercise for the reader.

Elona is different.

Incursion is neat to try out briefly, but probably still bugged to the point of being broken.

Sil gets an honorable mention if you're a turbonerd so deep into Tolkien apocrypha that you have replica silmarils sitting on your desktop, and you also happen to like *bands.

If you play IVAN you can vomit in a pile at your feet until your legs dissolve, and then pray to have them replaced with FUCKING METAL. Whether this is fun is left as an exercise for the reader.

They've gone about this on the streams, tl;dr 0.15 is less random regarding randarts suddenly enabling you to have tons of stats and verboten egos like clarity and rCorr. I'd also add 0.15 is harder because it has non ID'd brands and -cTele, that's me though.

What the fuck? Why? The devs are fucking awful at this game and have no idea what is good for the game.

Why do devs keep removing stuff? Why can't they rebalance monsters in extended instead of this bullshit?

Why can't they add stuff other than MUH UNFAIR ELECTRIC/ACID HARPIES?

>>123454171
There are now zigfigs at the bottom of each ziggurat and in tomb 3 to generate more zigs. I don't really understand the purpose of the change, but I guess it means you can megazig without having to search for them in pan forever. Think that might be the idea behind the change.

>>123454171
Rebalancing would involve actual work to ensure that the game still remained playable, and if there's anything you should have learned about the crawl team by now it's that they will always go for masturbatory minor tweaks over changing longstanding core mechanics that involve rewriting spaghetti code from Linley days.

If you want GRAND VISION rewrites, start your own fork.

>>123455359
I can still scum just as much loot from pan itself. That logic is grasping at straws in order to remove things that are considered badwrongfun.
>>
>>123455447
You can already get fire floors as early as Zig: 1. Dipping zigs for loot is a retarded idea.
>>
>>123455454
It's fairly trivial to slam the first 14 or so floors and get much, much better loot with pretty mild risk to anyone in just about any build doing extended. It's essentially a free tom:3 lung of loot.
>>
>>123455454

>Get shoals/snake

The devs are dumb as FUCK.

>>123455454
>I can still scum just as much loot from pan itself.

Pretty much this. Pan usually has higher value loot on the floors too. Removing Zigs doesn't removing scumming; it just makes it slower.
>>
>>123455548
They crammed demonspawn in it, one can only hope for more pan vaults.
>>
>>123455532
>You can already get fire floors as early as Zig: 1.
Fire floors have orbs of fire in them, if you can deal with a fire floor that's anywhere deeper than 3 you don't need anything from a ziggurat.
>>
>>123455649
you "deal" with it by just blinking past everything and going to the next level
>>
>>123455858
You're not getting a lot of free loot then. It's almost as if the reasoning is bullshit.
>>
>>123455919
Just a potential handful of floors in candylsnd
>>
>>123455919
The chance to get fire floors is miniscule, and even then 1 skipped floor out of 10 is nothing
>>
>>123455956
So if I'm following correctly you expose yourself to lethal danger you apparently cannot cope with without consumables in order to go deeper into more lethal danger that will require more consumables. And this is free loot scumming.
I am not sure I agree anon.

Also removing chunks, adding more bullshit enemies to every area in the game, reducing level size by 1/4 to 2/3, reducing monster density and then maybe adding some content as long term goals.

Demon Pasta: rough attempt part 1: building a character.

In Demon, there are 3 main play styles:
physical, magical, and status.

Building a Meleedude:

Use the Crown of Glory with Light, Healing, or Buff as your main attribute, and Mind as your secondary attribute.

You can also use Titan's Fist with Slash or Pierce as your main attribute, and Body, Buff, or Healing as your secondary attribute.

This will be a generic meleedude. Raise strength and vitality, with maybe the occasional point in agility.

For a starting companion, a faerie to heal you is a great boon, and you won't have to wait until tower 2 to get a dedicated healing companion. Because your demons teach you their abilities, Goblin is an excellent choice for its rush attack and abilities that provide evasion. Zombie for Flesheater and Gluttony is also a viable choice.

Building a Magicdude:

Use Hand of the Dead, Dark as the primary attribute, and Dark as the secondary attribute.

For stats, magic is obviously important and is the main focus, but vitality is also useful for staying alive.

For a starting companion, Ganadayah is a great boon, it feeds you MP and will eventually give you a skill that increases your max MP by 25. You could also use a Raicho to branch out and get electric skills, as things that resist or are immune to dark tend to be neutral to electricity - ideally, you'd find something that can cast ranged direct electric or light spells and use that instead, though, as the Raicho is incredibly weak and dies to a slight breeze.

Building a Statusdude:

???
I attempted a thing. I have not played every combination, so I have no idea if Crown/Dark/Dark is a good build or not. I just went with things that worked out for me. I also have not played (m)any successful magicdudes.

I indeed did a Dwarf but .. what's the name of the class.. the unarmed one.

I think it's maybe too OP because I've exploited the ability to convert DEX/CUN to STR/CON so I can put every points in DEX/CUN and still have HUGE amounts of health.

But I'm not sure Im understanding the game enough, for example I kept a tier1 armor because it had +2DEX +2CUN, or stuff like +40Health, sometimes I dont reallly understand what's better

>>123468790
Brawler? Brawlers are cool as well, although a bit more complicated.
As far as equip goes, you'll start finding some epic items with a million stats, and then comparing items is a nightmare.

Sandworm Lair.
Follow the worms that dig and lead you to rooms. The rooms are always safe, the corridors close after some turns of the digging worms passing.

The lore isn't THAT important, but if you want you can read it, nothing wrong with that.
Make sure to read the pasta.

Good idea. Will do just that.
>>
>>123470916
I don't know what a cheevo is, but developers have explicitly said they don't care about people playing for score. They are honestly trying to make DCSS a tactically interesting roguelike. They just can't succeed because doing so would more or less require writing a new game entirely, scrapping much of the content currently in DCSS.

Tedium is the core of Crawl gameplay. It's completely trivial if you're willing to endure tedium, but you'll make mistakes because you're trying to have fun and not torture yourself.

Meh, your 'Magicdude' is just a Meleedude who has Magic as his offensive stat. something with Frostring is better if you want to literally just level Magic.

I think you should either go really in-depth with ONE combo you know well instead of splitting attention between '3 main styles' or focus more on the strategy of making a rad team because honestly no matter how godly you try to make your character, the focus of the game is on your team.

What the fuck is a drawbridge death?
Like when they open the castle? Does the drawbridge smack you?

I couldn't find any damn instruments so I had to go in through the back.

Also if the wand of wishing is in that chest behind the throne a gelatinous cube ate it, which I think is what happened.

at least one giant spawns with a wand of magic missle. If a magic missle hits the drawbridge, the drawbridge collapses.
Many valkyries die because of that.

It's possible to destroy a drawbridge. If you happen to be standing on it at the time, you die.

It's better protected than that.

Statue form octopodes have unstable footing in water. You might not want to fly because of that blizzard demon's airstrike, but you can [a b] to bring him over and kill him so you can fly and have much higher accuracy.

[a a] to slow Antaeus, it costs barely any piety and is near irrresistable.

And statue form damage relies on STR and UC, not DEX. Chei stats give you more than enough DEX to get 30+ EV and uncannily stealthy in statue form without too much skill investment.

I idly started this character expecting it to YASD on the wilderness, so I've been doing stupid stuff so far. Picking Guth'Alak's quest, wasting a gorillion turns in the wilderness for Kranach, almost starving to death twice, tablording Keethrax to death while not even looking at the screen etc. I also failed to read a Magic Missile spellbook until it burst into flames. All my talents are pretty much useless. I'm also wearing the black torc and killed about 5 cats so far. I'll absolutemadman my way through the game and see how long until I die.

With the Mummy dead we take a look at our spells, turns out you have to actually type the spell out, with a bit of auto input to make it less tedious, still I can only imagine for mages the hell they have to go through.

careful with polymorph...it can give you cool powers, but it can also give you bad powers. Also, each time you use it it rerolls your stats, usually aiming for a reduced level of power (though once in a while you end up better off).

Polymorph is risky business, best saved for when you have a lot of stat potions saved up to recover from what it does to you.

Of course, if you're feeling lucky....

Sun paladin escorts on caster characters always make the early and mid game too easy. They basically give you a free healing skill, with a short cooldown to boot. Better than Call of the Wild for casters since it scales from spellpower, which would already be huge to an archmage, but to an alchemist that can't normally get even arcane reconstruction even more so.
>>
>>123498364
Getting the celestial/light tree is much better for casters than just getting the healing ability. It costs a category point, but providence is one of the best status effect removers in the game.

To be honest family, I usually don't bother with Celestial/Light because 1. cat point and 2. arcane resource to get manafucked by antimagic enemies.

What you can do is a really pussy style, train fighting, short blades, throwing, dodge and stealth all at the same time at 20% and youll do just fine or just train stealth till 12 early on, dodging to 8 and put bit into fighting and short blades, or do it in reverse if you want. Use regular poison needles on stuff like orc priests or wizards, curares onto centars, ogres and stuff.. Also early on you shouldnt have too many problems especially as an As up until lair

much like >>123533253 suggests, I hunt for humanoids in places where they're common. Camelot, Castle, and Glass Castle all tend to spawn lots of humanoids.

Dunno, but I figure if you spammed a stack of staff of summon monster in town it'd work out okay and with the recharger right there you can recharge a bunch, stock up, then go mine until you're in the mid thrities and the drops can pay out.
