Marrying and especially impregnating children is extremely anti-progressive. It is the epitome of tradition and stands against everything left stands for.

Morale and needs fulfillment (fulfilling all needs gives you a fat and apparently global bonus to rolls), new kind of industry for export, way to circulate secrets (mostly relevant if you want a necrofort or use modded secrets) source of early permanent, iffy military squad members that doesn't need to eat or drink, new way to train various stats and skills that are otherwise very annoying and problematic to train (discipline & diagnostician), good preparation for military, and perhaps most importantly of all, way to get multiracial forts.

>>147673289
Not really, other than that depending on personality and discipline civ dwarves will engage rather than run from monsters, so off duty soldiers with gear can be used to defend.

Too bad dual-wielding is terrible in Poschengband except for the 5 or so classes which get an added dual-wield bonus on top of the skill cap, characters who waste a feat on Ambidexterity, characters who waste a slot on Genji, or characters who get Mephistopheles.

DCSS is THE starter roguelike. The interface is very helpful, everything is pretty obvious and easy to learn, and the tilesets are nice. Since you've started with DF Adventure mode you should probably be comfortable with just about anything the general would suggest though.

You weren't supposed to use all of them. They are a valuable resource, maybe leave at least 3 the next time?

That reminds me, the last time I grabbed the icy rune, Antaeus was nowhere to be found. The fortress room containing the rune had that and the usual loot, but he wasn't guarding it. This vault had an identical room opposite to it, in there I found more loot and the cloak of the thief in the position where the rune was on the other one. Does anyone know what could've happened here?

Okay so what's more convenient, sacrifice armor skill or permanently lose 2 Dex? Is armor worth training yet?

>>147684954
It's been ages since I played, but I think 57 PV is a lot even for one of my characters which had like 300 hours in it. Damn.
>>
>>147685232
this is worse than awooposting
>>
>>147685271
Sacrifice the Dex, Armor skill is way more important. That Dex loss might drop 2 EV, but that Armor skill wiill save a lot more if you ever pick up heavy armor, and it will allow you to cast reasonably well in lighter armors.
>>
>>147685271
>which had like 300 hours in it
ENCHANT
YOUR
GEARRRRRRRRR

Ru sacrifices really depend on how much piety you have and how much piety you need. If it is your first sacrifice and you are a race with good dodging, sacrificing armor could be good (you will have to use <10 ER stuff the whole game which means you kinda miss out on Dragon Armour). If you don't want to do that then sac the dex, but I think that's a less major sacrifice then armor.

Makes everything hurt.
Basically he added zombie evolutions that are stronger, nastier and generally fucking terrifying. And he filled the gap with most zeds that never got an evolution (swimmers, fat, shambling etc) and added a lot of new locations (the hell castle, bandit outposts).
It basically is just a way to scale with how ridiculously overpowered dudes get in DDA's endgame. I personally don't really like to break the game with unarmed or katanas or rivtech and survivor armor, so I'm quite scared of what's going to happen.
>>

You only get skill when you dodge succesfully, and your skill is not overmatching their attack skill. (you don't learn from easy to dodge attacks). And then the skill gain gets a reduction from focus.

But most of the time you don't dodge, you just have enough armor.

I was thinking the exact same thing earlier.
>allows you to level almost all skills for free

If I could make a change to Cata, it'd be making it so that books don't train skills at all, practicing skills gives substantially more XP than it currently does (except melee, I think that's fine), and adding more lower-leveled opportunities for computer leveling. The odd SD card you find isn't even close to enough.

What is the funnest roguelike to be a powerful wizard in?

Not DCSS.
>>
>>147717734
In DCSS the only thing powerful wizards can do is spam high-damage, high-area spells. It's very far from even being a contender.

To the topic at hand, however. I'll split my answer into two, because there's two ways to answer this.

The most fun Wizard is probably ADoM, because they can chaincast Wish if they're properly built.

The most fun roguelike containing fun Wizards is Nethack, or a variant of it. The best example is SLASH:EM because of the spells Enchant Armor and Enchant Weapon, which if properly utilized divide the game into "before I learned Enchant Armor/Weapon" and "after I learned Enchant Armor/Weapon". The easiest example is Dynahack, simply because of the UI.

there's a more strict /rlg/ interpretation in the pasta:

>However, the broad nature of the Berlin Interpretation allows many games not traditionally considered to be roguelikes to be categorized as such, so stricter definitions of what qualifies as a roguelike have been adopted by various communities. Currently, one of the most accepted interpretations on /vg/ is that a game is a roguelike if and only if it has these 4 elements:

>Permadeath - Might be optional or have ways to cheat (eg. Wizard mode), but it has to be a core element of the game.
>Turn Based - Roguelikes are about thinking, not about quick reflexes.
>Grid Based - Everything happens in a grid, where every element of the game use a set space, usually one tile, although some games have multi-tiled monsters or structures.
>Randomly generated content - Since (perma)death is so common in roguelikes, every new game has to be different to keep the gameplay from becoming repetitive.

life saving objects, extra lives, looting your old corpse (e.g. felid, ToME, DDA) are not roguelikes (effectively cheating your way out of permadeath)
Elona/+ is not a roguelike (optional permadeath)
if the permadeath is OPTIONAL it is NOT a core element of gameplay
>>
>>147746031
because crawl lore and flavor is a shit clusterfuck awful butthole since there are a thousand "hurr totally innovative" "developers" who only have added some vaults and many of those have no consistency.

>>
>>147746317

I disagree on lifesaving objects.

Disabling permadeath means you're not playing a roguelike, but having items in context to save you from death is functionally no different than carrying a lizard corpse to prevent petrification. Especially if the item is rare as hell, which appropriately emphasizes permadeath as the exception proves the rule.

There are some interesting high level ones but arguably the biggest problem with rage mages is that they're capped at three fucking blows in melee. Worse than regular mages.

I wouldn't really consider them "berserkers" since their melee is fair and they can only cast if an enemy uses magic. They get cool stuff like commando team, rage strike, anti-magic ray, and leap but it's not worth having to grind your rare high-level spellbooks to learn them. Another opportunity at a good and fun class wasted.
>>
>>147753951

Yeah... about that.

They get like four max blows, a large ac penalty, have poor skills, and see above for their spellbook problems (have you even seen eight copies of a fourth book?).

It's actually 3. The only things that have worse melee are sorcerers and leprechauns.

They sound horrible. They're worse at melee than even most mages, only seem to cast melee-support (buffs, destruction, debuffs, summoning) spells, and are all but barred from casting most of their high level spells. And they can't even use devices to make up the difference, because they have terrible skills.

If those endgame spells I don't recognize aren't gamebreakers, I don't understand why they even exist; they're worse at everything that almost anything, and don't even have an interesting gimmick.
>>
>>147754924
In their defense, tearing apart spell books to learn spells would be a fun gimmick if the game worked entirely differently.
>>
>>147754924
>I don't understand why they even exist
It's like this for most of the classes in the "Other" category, the only remotely fun ones are Imitator and Archaeologist. Tourist exists just to be a challenge class, Rage-Mage as you can see is total shit, but Bards can be really fun at times like Wild-Talent. Now that I mention it most of the classes and races in PCB are shit and serve as filler that makes the game look packed with content.
>>
>>147755137
If Ragemages could rip apart any spellbook, from any class, and learn one spell, that would be a very fun gimmick.
>>
>>147751215
sorceror isn't deadlier than e.g. a high-mage of chaos or armageddon

they just have utility shit in addition to their damage, at the cost of literally no AC and not being able to melee anything ever
>>
>>147755458
That describes most content in most roguelike games. Your other options are bad minimalism like Crawl or good minimalism like Brogue.

Combat Echizen is fast and annoying, but he only has 3000 HP or something incredibly low like that. Nodens is probably the worst Angband boss (can the destroyer appear as a boss? he might work too).

It sounds like PCB would be more fun if they just removed SP and let you cast spells as often as you want.
>>
>>147759106
Honestly Destroyer isn't that bad, he's only got +20 speed which is really low for the level he can spawn on. The only bad thing about him is the INSANE amount of health he has but if you at least have a bunch healing staves and an angelic healing rod with some recharging scrolls and are prepared for a long and tedious battle you're pretty much good to go. Just stay above 600 HP and don't forget reflection since he can waste an entire turn trying to get you with a mana bolt. I don't really know how a mage is supposed to kill him though.

Part of the problem is that the "biggest" spells are designed to be super effective against groups and they lose out against single targets. Of course even if you made super bolt spells to compensate a lot of high level enemies have reflection.

I'm here yes. I literally never do fusions anymore in my games now. Since there's only 6 demon slots available I don't feel like there's enough room for spare demons to use in the fusion. Even before that I never found that it's really worth doing. The only time I revive is if I get a really good demon killed in the late game.

I didn't say anything about cooldowns. Do melee fighters have a cooldown on their ability to hit things with weapons? Do they have a special resource to manage, when after they run out of it they aren't allowed to have fun anymore? No, of course not. That would be stupid (which is why TOME does it).

I mean that magic for wizards should just be like firing danmaku in a Touhou game. If your guy knows how to do it then you can, and just not have a cost other than the use of a turn.

I am not a fan. Maybe really dirty clothes could incur a slightly higher infection risk, but morale reduction should still be the primary consequence.

It doesn't make much sense for your character to be unfazed by wearing gore-soaked clothes that stink of death and shit, and it makes a lot of sense for your character to feel good about wearing clean, fresh clothing.

As discussed in some of the issues on github, I still think changing it from a penalty for wearing filthy clothing to a boost for wearing clean clothing would be better.

No, {bad} represents a cursed non-ego item. Weak pseudo-id classes get {enchanted}, which is anything from non-ego items with pluses to artifacts, and {cursed}, which is anything from regular cursed items to cursed artifacts.

As for the original question, it probably is just no longer counted as cursed for some reason.

You're correct in one way, but wrong in the other.

Yes, being an Ogre doesn't make hats spawn instead of helmets, and being an Octopode doesn't make rings spawn instead of armor.

It does have an effect, however, in that for the first few floors you're more likely to get really good stuff that you can't use. This is why you get the necronomicon on double minotaurs, golden dragon armor on octopodes, and naga/centaur barding on so many non-centaur/nagas.

As I understand it, this was a concession by the Devil's Team to badplayers. You would always find something amazing in the first few floors, it just wasn't guarenteed to be usable.
>>
>>147778216
Your species does not affect which items spawn. Minotaurs aren't more likely to get the necronomicon. The phenomena you're observing is Crawl's system of informal level requirements, in which not even a deep elf necromancer can immediately make use of the necronomicon if you find it on D:1.

>Your species does not affect which items spawn.
This is wrong. You are literally, objectively, more likely to see items you cannot use (to use a previous example: naga bardings as a non-naga) on the first few floors than anywhere else. This is because the first few floors are more likely to spawn good items, and it replaces a few with worthless ones to even it out.

It is an intended mechanic, and I wish I could cite a source (I learned about it from another anon) but I can't; you'll just have to examine your own experiences with the game to determine whether this makes sense or not.
>Minotaurs aren't more likely to get the necronomicon.
This is true. I was using "double minotaur" as an example, meaning "non-mages". I could have been more clear, sorry.

Actually, I might be wrong on this second one.

It's not. It doesn't stop you from retreating to a hallway or moving during combat, and you are past the point of needing to walk across the level to escape. You might have to teleport from some death yaks (or not, since you can just kill them with BiA anyway).

Yes, but on a MiBe it doesn't really matter honestly.
That's why I disagree with MiBe as a recommendation for beginners. All your combat apts (i.e. the only apts you use) are so good that it just doesn't matter. And you have trog backing you up to boot so you don't even have to consider weapon drops.

Since always? HOBe isn't as good as MiBe. MiBe is the quintessential tablord because of their super good combat apts and high health.
>>
>>147783886
Og has shitty Dodging and a huge AC problem throughout the early and mid game.
Mi has neither issue.
>>147783948
HO has bad dodging and worse armour apts and their amazing Invo apt is not great on Trog.
They also don't have the huge boon which is Mi horns.
Their primary benefit is the 0 XP apt.
>>
>>147784548
>They also don't have the huge boon which is Mi horns.
I always have a hard time estimating the exact impact of those extra attacks.
>>
>>147784673
horns has mini stun and kicks pierce AC

they're both super good
>>
>>147784548
>Og has shitty Dodging and a huge AC problem throughout the early and mid game.
>Mi has neither issue
I'm talking about as a recommended beginner combo. Be will always be one of, if not the best backgrounds so a new player would not want to learn using them but Mi doesn't actually teach how to play the game with any other race.
>>147784673
There have been fights that I won exclusively because of horns. I wish the retaliation was a possible mutation rather than the best damn racial trait in the game.
>>
>>147784782
They don't stun or pierce AC anymore.
>>
>>147784673
>>147784782
Speaking of which, does training Unarmed do anything to supplement those attacks, or are they just based of stats/character level?
>>
>>147784884
fucking campbell

>>147784887
aux attacks from muts are scaled off the mutation's level and that's it from what i remember
>>
>>147784846
MiBe is good for learning dungeon layouts and general game flow. Once you know those you can play any combo easily.
>>
>>147784673
I'm playing a MiFi with long blades in trunk and half my kills at least are just monsters dying to my retaliation. Shit is insane.

>>147784782
Neither of these are true anymore but horns retaliation is still amazing.

>>147784846
Ah, no. I don't think Og is a good beginner recommendation at all. HOBe might be better, but it's still super diesel. I would just recommend HO/Mi/Ha Fi.

Yeah, having the slot muts (aside claws) actually do interesting things instead of "occasional extra attack for losing an armor slot" and merging horns 3 with retaliation would be good.
>>
>>147785331
I don't get how the claws mut works.
Like, wearing a shield makes it worthless right? But does it still work if you use a two-hander?
>>
>>147783808
I still don't like how it's written assuming the reader has already played DCSS.

The easy-win guide is a little like the android rune knight guide in the PCB pasta or the rogue guide in the IA pasta (which needs and update), horribly specific and as stated, likely to get nerfed soon.

Other than that it's good.
>>
>>147785584
Claws is bonus unarmed damage which is the only slot mut that scales with Unarmed skill (since it straight up buffs your damage) level one is optional glove use, level two I think forbids glove use for some more damage, and level 3 gets more damage and chops heads.

Off-hand punch is cancelled if you wear a shield and benefits from the claws mut.
>>
>>147785883
So you can off hand punch if you're using a two handed weapon?

Out of curiousity- and since I was under this impression as well, I looked through the code and asked in the ##crawl-dev IRC channel.

This does not appear to be the case. There is no code which specifically creates unusable or hard-to-use items in early D. It certainly conflicts with my impression (especially wrt bardings), but I can't see any basis in the code for why this might happen.

Well obviously, but IMO it needs a pokecenter like system (with limited slots).

All those interesting creatures and you can only keep 8 of them around, that's a bit shit.

Might be cool. Also the latest build with relic upgrades only allows you to have 6 demons in your party. At level 5 you can have 7, and you have to wait all the way until level 15 before you can store 8. Your party feels really constrained now. And back when you had training points on each demon instead of currency, you could get really creative with your party and do all sorts of goofy shit. Damn I miss that shit

It's very very good. *corrode is not that bad. Basically it means that sometimes you will get -4 to AC and -4 to slaying (like -4 to your weapon) when you take damage.

I've never had *corrode stack more than -8 total though.

>>147803864
But is it better balanced now?
>>
>>147806749
I can't really say. The game feels harder now with currency and less demon slots, but I'm winning more often, probably due to improved skill/game knowledge. But I don't think having a ton of free training points to copy skills was broken/easy mode. Sure you could have a huge rape squad of demons with completely filled ability slots, but you still needed proper play to win, and a misstep or two could easily get you killed.

Well you can still get 3 or 4 maxed out dudes by the endgame, right?
I heard that the game values self-teaching more with the currency system, but after you're buffed up you spend the rest on your demons right? I've not gotten past floor 6 yet so the most I've done is stuff like give a durability talent to a frontliner or tireless/healing charm to support dudes.
>>
>>147803798
demon blade or demon whip are good fast weapons

falchion has low base damage and is the weakest longsword in the game

remember that everything slower than 1.4 can still be reduced to a 0.7 minimum delay, so even huge weapons like great maces or exe axes can use distortion
>>
>>147803798
Falchion is never ok for anything, falchions suck dick
As for the other weapons, any weapon that can get to like 0.8 delay or lower, which is pretty much half the weapons in the game, maces, axes, quick blades.. Depending on your background and all, obviously
>>
>>147807562
>Well you can still get 3 or 4 maxed out dudes by the endgame, right?
Yea you can have a few with full slots, you can even modify one or two. I usually have two healers filled most of the way up. But if you mess up and get an important demon killed, you either have to eat the loss of your investment, or invest even more to get him back, so I usually keep a large stock of currency around just in case.

>I heard that the game values self-teaching more with the currency system, but after you're buffed up you spend the rest on your demons right?
Yes that's true.

>give a durability talent to a frontliner or tireless/healing charm to support dudes.
I usually do the same. Getting a couple of healers setup is very important.

If you want a good build to get you further in the game, follow the veil tank build posted in >>147783808. Just be wary of your character's weakness, try not to eat a bunch of ranged attacks when closing a gap, and be willing to lose a demon if you're at risk of dying.

Falchions, (eu)demon blades, (demon) tridents, and trishulas go down to 0.6.
Sacred scourges, (demon) whips, spears, and all short blades (except quick blades) go to 0.5.
Quick blades go to 0.3.
0.7 is the standard mindelay, these are the exceptions.
>>
>>147808312
it's -0.1 delay for every 2 levels of skill, down to a minimum of 0.7

The slowest (non-unrand) weapons in the game have 2.0 delay, so they reach 0.7 at 26 skill.

The relative chance of getting the Rmut mut on top of all the others while zigging (and of course you have to get the Rmut mut 3 AFTERWARDS or else you're just wasting 20 benmuts just to get a single mut) are astronomical. And even then getting the rmut mut at any tier would be terrible if you wanna get those other muts as well.

Zigging was useless before and it's completely useless now.

Who cares? He asked if that was the best setup and it is. Feasibility did not enter into it.

>>147823091
I believe rank 3 of that mut is actually more effective than the rmut amulet used to be.

>>147823262
>He asked if that was the best setup and it is.
If you ask if something is feasible, you usually want to try it.
I mean crawl isn't particle physics.

When did he ask that?

"The best setup" implies some kind of feasibility into it for the purpose of replicate it for maximum efficiency.

How do i skill Ogres?
They should be an easy race, and yet i find it difficult to overcome the early dungeon.

>>147823784
Streak-Zigging means infinite potions of experience and benmut.
So it's literally just playing the waiting game.

I assume you've seen that picture of the demonspawn of gozag who spelled "FUCK PLEASINGFUNGUS" with used ziggurat portals.
>>
>>147823927
to be fair gozag was actually broken as fuck in zigs in that version

he was nerfed soon after

Does anyone know how I could change the food staffs that some races get on birth to have the resistance ego? Really fucking tired of my food getting destroyed by fire attacks.
>>
>>147826174
No, that's impossible right now because of how the egos work.
And with that I mean even tampering with the code.
>>

That's very annoying.

The single most damaging weapon is a +9 triple sword of speed.
Dragonform and Bladehands are significantly better than the best weapon.

Hello and welcome to PCB
>>
>>147801085
yeah that's true. We settled that one like last year-ish.
>>
>>147826174
You realize you can just buy some shitty wand from the shop and eat from that if your staff is destroyed, right?
>>
>>147827030
Thanks dude, just the answer i needed.
>>
>>147827760
As a note, I did not perform those tests, that was another anon who did it a while ago.
>>
>>147827743
Yeah, but it's still annoying. Imagine one attack destroying your entire stack of food, basically. I would rather eat from a device that I don't have to use for anything else as well.
>>
>>147827919
>Imagine one attack destroying your entire stack of food
I can't.
That's because I don't bring food to the dungeon I go to.
Because I'm not gonna starve.

You can just recall and before going down you can just stop at the inn for food.

How the hell do I change the sidebars on DCSS tiles? Part of my spell list is cut off because the spell tab is pulled out but won't expand.
>>
What version of crawl is the least shit? Really hating 1.8.1 at the moment.

>>147828716
Just press I and learn to manage your spell list

statue form does less damage than dragonform

also cheictopus has more potential power than ant because rings aren't merged
>>
>>147810856
Is that the DLC?
>>
>>147828786
>1.8.1
the current version is 18.1
it's literally 10x as good

Might as well be. A fart will kill me. The problem is Wraith Spiders have racially low HP, and Phase Warriors as a class have low HP as well.
Might be better off as a yeek, literally.
>>
>>147830301
so tell us about your character

what do phase warriors actually do
>>
>>147830432
Well it's basically "casting your weapon damage as a spell in bolt form, ray form, ball form, etc." the class.
Also very mobile.

>>147830521
so you're basically going to be the glass cannon to end all glass cannons?
