They just need to be changed so that their sleep ability isn't janky shit that gets cast when there are two of them every 3rd turn and actually needs a "flock" to cast regularly.

did the removal-crew go totally ham on the game or is it worthwhile for a semi-noob to upgrade from late 0.17?

>>153241907
You get to use 2pak. The amulet changes are kind of lame, but you get to play with new amulets and a lot of quality of life changes to a bunch of gods and new monsters to splat to. In general, the hardest part to get used to is the amulets but I think you'll be quick to realize that they never really added much to the table. (outside of zigs anyway. And rip warding, my lost love). Its worth updating for 2pak alone though. He was something special, and 18 as a whole felt like a great time to do a lot of evocations builds. They've ruined that in trunk.
>>
>>153241907
>did the removal-crew go totally ham on the game
Yes.
>I want to get into the game again, but I'm not sure which version to use.
Either 0.14 if you want some old-school fun or trunk to see the new development.
I recommend winning a game in both so you can decide for yourself what you like.
>>
>>153241907
IMO every version past 15 has been the exact same level of quality, the game has neither improved nor gotten worse. Give it a try since it's all the same.
>>
>>153242168
>>153242226
cheers, I'll check 0.18x and trunk out.
Didn't they already remove Pak? That's what I've read in the last thread at least.

>>
>>153242447
Old versions are available on SF.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/crawl-ref/files/Stone%20Soup/

Pakellas was in 0.18. He's been removed in 0.19 trunk.
>>
>>153242447
They disabled him until he can be balanced more properly. He probably shouldn't have ever made it into stable, but he is worth an ascension. They've since nerfed everything that enabled him as well. No more bolt wands to recharge and abuse with water, and no more invis wand. Bobs and spiders aren't as good. Rods are back to being rare AF since you can't really acquire them anymore, with some of them removed. Bad feels all around. Old 2pak trunk legitimately felt like a weaker Tome4 character with all the shit they could pull instead of a crawl character. Definitely deserved the nerfing though, the evo build was way too easy and strong to get into.
>>
>>153242447
I play 0.14 online, sorry. Will upload later when I'll get to my desctop.
>>
>>153242673
Oh, and rings of invis and tele are both gone as they were. Same with decks of cards and Xom's chess piece. Man, evocations was nuts.
>>
>>153242673
Why nerf pak but not trog? Doesn't make any sense
>>
>>153243006
Trog needs to exist so that newbies can stay bad at the game for longer.
Uskayaw is an even worse version of this.
>>
>>153242704
No need, it's on the SF as the other anon pointed out.
>>
>>153243006
I don't think you can balance 2pak the way you could potentially balance trog. You can't fix 70% infinite paralyze on a whole 3 rune. You essentially had 3 wands that could do the same effect (enslave/confuse/paralyze), so you had a very high chance of getting 1 of them. Not to mention how abusrdly strong bob's, spiders and rods are, and how you'd get them for free. As much as I loved 2pak, he is kind of inherently broken. It doesn't take much to put him over the top, and it can be as simple as having infinite teleports or as degenerate as infinite hastes/HW with rod of shadows and clouds. Trog is busted for different reasons, but I don't think he'd be nearly as good if you just took away the berserker backround.
>>
>>153243006
Most broken thing about 2pak is manaregen imo

Non-issue, falls under "fondness of certain tactics". I'm surprised you didn't mention Phase Shift instead.

>Give Fedhas and Cheibriados piety decay
Unnoticable to be honest, and I chimped out about it too at first.
>Remove the EV penalty for taking stairs
That's a weird one, I agree, goes exactly against fighting stairdancing, which I thought is unwanted by the devs along with luring. I think they did it to have more UI clarity, but that just buffs stairdancing in the end.
>Give Yredelemnul piety from undead/demon kills
What's the problem, aside of some questionable flavour?
>Make jelly item-eating Jiyva only
Are you sure about it? And anyway, do you really miss it?
>Make mutations only cause stat drain to the undead
Coupled with SustAb/SustAt removal this is bad how? Apart from some Abyss MuMo fun of course.
>Remove the Mummy self-restoration ability
Constantly nerfing mummies every few months is probably the biggest offender, I agree here.
>Make most gods count plant/nonliving kills
But only the ones that actually attack the player, right? So what's the problem?

Tomb, Hell or Pan? Tough choice.

I have rN++ on a switchable giant club; exactly one !resistance for Lom Lobon; casting Haste/DMsl/Aura of Abjuration reliably with staff of wizardry. Blurry vision 3 is very bad, but trying to cure it could take away my Dex+4 and that would hurt my EV. Dodging is already close to 15, so I was wondering about working towards cBlink instead.

This is literally JUST the type of rehash I was expecting, it’s nothing but a glib facsimile.

If Crawl was all I had access to as a child in terms of roguelikes I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to Elona from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.

Seriously, if you have taken the little girl as you're waifu and impregnated her, you’d realize just how sophisticated Elona is and it blows away anything Crawl would have to offer.

A lot of people mention the grinding, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that the grinding is not even in my top 10 things to do in Elona, not even close, that’s just how deep the world of Elona is.

Elona is so disturbingly mature that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a real roguelike in /rlg/ just to bitchslap the snotty MiBe babbies.

It’s not just the level of maturity and sophistication Elona has, it’s also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard Elona as the highest form of roguelike art-form.

But hey, me preaching about Elona won’t do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.

The recent one I would recommend to check out is Juere Warrior which is light and easy to get into Elona for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Snail Wizard in which the grinding is so complex and twisted that you’ll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama you should gene engineer you'reself the perfect waifu.

Seriously, if you know Elona like I do, Crawl looks like it’s something for little kids

Everything he put in there is true.

Wizmode, playing around by enslaving Dispater

>Dispater gets hit by 1 Fireball

EV : 3

After :
HD : 16
HP : 96/96

Dispater has 16 HD, so using that formula his max HP will be between

16d4 + 64
80..128

Well, it's like enslaving mutated Deep Elf with Frail 3.

Well I was gonna go for 15 runes, but I made the mistake of trying Tomb before Pan and Hell. (In my defense, I've made that order work twice before.) Tomb made me quaff my magic potion reserves like an alcoholic at an open bar. When my forays into Pan weren't helping me restock, I decided to bank the easy 6-rune win so I could cross DD off my to-do list.

Remove the sustain attributes effect
The ring in particular would only rarely be used to help compensate for a few
sources of particularly large amounts of stat drain (generally mummy death
curses and CBoE/Wucad Mu usage). With the ring gone, the effect just remained
on Demigods and the orange crystal plate unrand, and in both cases doesn't seem
sufficiently interesting or integral to their designs to merit keeping such a
niche effect around.

Slightly toned down a few of the higher-tier sources of stat drain to partially
compensate for cases where it might have been more often used.
>>
>>153263953
>Demigods still have sustab, as well as that randart crystal plate

Not in 0.19, both of them have lost sustab.

I started as Demigod, transformed into lichform, got malmutated by neqoxec and my str was decreased by 1.

It's not really justified for this single source of +EV to work differently
from every other source - similarly-flavoured passive sources of SH such as
Qazlal's shielding or amulets of reflection are likewise disabled by being
paralysed/petrified etc.

Live for a year/5 year/10 year
Build your autismo cabin/home complete with a family of NPC's and friends.
Build the ultimate RV/shutter door with turrets death wagon
Not killing yourself in real life when you do something stupid hundreds of hours down the road and lose everything cause the devs have continually made pants on head retarded decisions
Play with gimmicks like no foraging/funnels and/or you have to be a marauder looting what you use then moving on in a small/medium city size long distances world.

Rock kilns are pretty cheap early on for letting you mass produce charcoal from crowbarred fences and smashed furniture. In down time laying some shallow pits/pits helps with zombie master/hulk hordes. Boarding up windows/doors and moving/building fridges and bookcases lets you create a somewhat safe 3x3 inside a city as your central hoard. You can even make a proper raising gate for driving in/out easily while otherwise being unconcerned with hordes and survivors being able to smell/hear you.

>>153272857
You'd be in a world of agony if you played Elona+
>>
>>153272528
Also, NPC's speed it up and if you just want the autism fort you can reduce the time costs and go nuts since it's like 3 years to wall up an empty 2x2. Though using a vehicle welder to just barely get wrecks functional and park them before adding boards is fine too.

I liked to take 1-2 of the dex traits, because they actually let you live a lot longer with the EV boost as well as the boost to foot evocations. I take them early, but not all of them because you need so many other feats to not die to stunlocks.

No. I ran into one of Griml's Octopode ghosts. Presumably, it had a ring of +gorillion AC, because Bladehands did nothing. It also only knew Mephitic Cloud or something, since that was the only thing it cast, and it did so every turn it wasn't in melee (and several times it was). I didn't have any ?tele, and I didn't have enough !curing, so I died.

>>153289550

Essentially a gifting god with call merchant. Potion petition is the single best panic button in the game.

But generally a melee tabber you dont burn through food. Which is the gozag downside.

Bribe branch is also absurd. It makes V5 safe. It makes Zot 5 a victory lap with your ancient lich and orb of fire buddies. Gozag is the best god in the late 3 rune game. Better than trog.

>>153294047
Depends if you have another sources of rC and regen.
>>
>>153294047
the rF doesnt matter because you already have enough
rC doesn't matter much except in coc
regen isn't too important unless you care about how many turns pressing 5 costs
i mean it makes pillardancing slightly better but running helps more in those situations anyways
>>
>>153294047
Regen boots. Running is only 0.1 most ms. You'll get 1 extra tile in 10 whereas you'll constantly be taking less damage from cold, fire, and regen even more health per turn with the regen spell which is stellar if you have solid defenses and a shield.

Fuck Mnoleg and fuck malmutate. Good thing I encountered the holy pan so I got additional 3 !cMut. I quaffed 7 of them already and I'm still left with some bad muts. I kind of lost my shit in Mnoleg's realm though, could've done that one better.

cBlink is castable now with a wizardry enchancer and at 2% with !brilliance, so I can train fighting skills again. If I don't fuck up something spectacularly, I should make it.

Cerebov and Lom Lobon will probably join me on the orb run though.

Those defenses are only at that point because of high base stats and disgusting luck with aux slots. On a normal Fighter with better apts I'd be getting a few more points in fighting and getting the great mace to a decent delay. With demigod apts putting any more into Dodging will become a monstrous investment in just a few more points and armor is barely any use with scale

Honestly, berserker ghosts aren't all that spooky. I had a level 27 ghost with maxed AC and close to max EV with antimagic, and I was able to walk away easily enough. Its just a nuisance rather than some level 27 deep elf with fire storm.

Ely is good for healing yourself and pacifying things that you don't want to eat. She was an unfocused relic of ancient design that ended up playing pretty well as a speedrun god.

Unfortunately, the devs decided that she was too good at being a speedrun god, and removed the player's ability to start as Healer.

Now she's worthless, because if you want to dive for turncount it's more practical to start with Trog than burn turns hunting an Ely altar.

C'est la vie.

Well they all do different things. Some combos are heavily encouraged to pick some gods. Deep Dwarf for example are almost always of Makleb who provides healing for them.

So its about picking something that synergies well with what your character is doing or that you have a preference for.

Ash is good for boosting skills any time you're playing a character that wands to hybridize, but doesn't have superb aptitudes for it.
Beogh is good for roleplaying Orc Jesus and starting your own waagh.
Chei is good for taking it easy and punching out panlords in one hit while in dragonform.
Dith is good for stabbing.
Ely is good for speedrunning.
Fedhas is your rival who's better than you at everything, and you wish you could wipe that smirk off his stupid plant face but he's too fast, too smart, and too handsome.
Gozag is good for taking free runefloors.
Jiyva is better at speedrunning than Ely, but with an even rarer altar. Also good for mutating yourself into a lump of limbs and resists.
Kiku isn't good for much, unless you're playing MuNe.
Lucy is good for godswapping to get yourself out of an early Dungeon abyss, if you fucked up and engaged melee on something with disto.
Makh gives you BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD. This can be useful for Deep Dwarves and ziggurats.
Nemelex is good for roleplaying a heart of the cards trickster who has an answer for everything.
Okawaru is good for those games where you don't want to have to think about anything but driving your enemies before you and hearing the lamentations of their women.
Pak is good at being removed. Also having a golfbag of wands for every situation.
Qaz is good at being loud. If you want to be loud and proud, look no further.
Ru is good at making your character shit in exchange for a chance of passive offensive status effects.
Sif is good for when you want to play a generalist offensive spellcaster.
Trog is good for when you have a burning desire to kill generalist offensive spellcasters.
Vehumet is good for when you want to play an offensive spellcaster that doesn't give a shit about support spells and just wants to blow things up.
Xom is good for when you've played the game to death, and find being teleported around the level, then confused in the middle of a pack of centaurs funny.
>>
>>153311170
Yred is good if you want permanent allies so you don't actually have to go through the trouble of playing the game.
Zin is good if you want to do Pan, but you've picked up some mutations in Abyss or Zot and you don't have any cMut.
TSO is good for swapping to just in time to do cryptpanhelltomb.
>>
>>153313076
You should also mention that Makhleb gives you access to randomized low level conjurations basically for free (therefore that vampire conduct about staying on batform all the time and using only Makhleb's destruction powers), spammable popcorn demon summoning, and mid-level randomized conjurations and mid-tier demon summoning for a shitload of piety

It affects spell success rate, it's good to have a level in it for every few levels of your main school.
>>
>>153320403
Yes actually. Sometime in the midgame, you'll pump a few levels for more MP. Its ok for getting some amount of universal spell %. A little early and a little late goes a long way.
>>
>>153320403
it affect spell success as 1/4th of a level in all relevant schools

so for single school spells it's shit but for trischools like freezing cloud it's 3/4ths as good as the actual schools in terms of spellpower and failrate.

Killholes. Lots of killholes. And you don't move when monsters are around, you fight or step from time or, if it's an option, shaft yourself.

IIRC this character accidentally shafted into Zot:5 and had to step from time like four times to avoid dying to a giant group of oofs, though.

I really, really like necromancers. In every game. I liked using them in warcraft III. I almost exclusively played necromancers in diablo II / LoD. I played an undead warlock in World of Warcraft because that seemed like the closest thing to a necromancer (BC). I tried witch doctor in D3 but just couldn't enjoy it, so did the next best thing - wizard.

I want to play as a necromancer similar to the necro I played in D2: LoD, but I heard skeletons in Crawl are nerfed now and crumble after some time (just played the tutorials and yep, they crumble).

Does this mean skeletons are mere distractions? And if so, does that mean a necromancer in Crawl is really just a fighter/mage who uses skeletons as a tactic, but not as the main force? Am I supposed to basically play as a ranged (or melee?) character who simply uses skeletons and the undead as meat-shields and distractions?

It looks like I can easily kite enemies into cooridors, which seems to remove the need for an undead posse. So what exactly are minions good for? Is the necromancer in crawl just some kind of ranged "death wizard"?

In the early game necro is either ranged death wizard or fighter with some spooky meatshields.

Later on with spells like simulacrum and death channel you can be more necro-y with hordes of ghosts and necromantic ice clones made from the dead, but if you're looking for a real necromancer experience I still wouldn't suggest crawl.

Isn't that the case in most necromancer games, until you get yourself a goddamn horde of them?
>It looks like I can easily kite enemies into cooridors, which seems to remove the need for an undead posse.
Kiting people into tight spaces is a luxury, and not always an option.

Swarming your opponents.
Blocking the line of sight between you and some dangerous targets, so that they can't cast some nasty spell on you.
Distracting.

When there isn't enough room for you to occupy a tile, and for a monster to occupy a tile, the monster is removed and placed somewhere else. You see it with Passwall, occasionally.

I certainly hope so, otherwise the death of Geoff the fourth was in vain.

I wouldn't mind seeing similar stuff in other vaults, so as you walk past a random enemy falls in the cage.

I would say that freeing them should make them an ally, but that would be bloat and encourage spoilers :^)

Kiku is loli typed one letter to the right if you use a qwerty-style keyboard. This is obviously intentional, like Zin->Xom.

yeah, totally intentional

>>153356734
The power of banishment increases with invocations, but that's all. On the bright side, once you've branded your weapon and gotten the Abyssal rune, you can switch to a better god and have their invocational abilities at a higher power!

Kiku is the only memorable part of the name, so it's the only part that matters.

>>153357264
It's powerful, especially on low min-delay weapons, but also annoying since it can teleport/blink/banish enemies that you wanted to kill.

Sandblast and stone arrow are NOT at the same power.

Sandblast damage formulae (Im just taking this from a wiki) is 1d(8+Power/4)

Stone arrow is 3d(5+Power/8)

Power isnt saying how powerful the spell is compared to other spells. Its just saying how well you can cast that specific spell in terms of power level.
>>
>>153362305
By the way all the god names start with different letters, except TSO who counts as 1.
>>
>>153361847
Sandblast is better if you have ammo for it.

>>153378846
You're supposed to be hoarding and disassembling pillows for cotton balls that are ghetto bandages and trains first aid after you listen to music and read morale back up and use them.

You shouldn't have been engaging corrosives that early and shouldn't have engaged so many acidic zombies. If you're banged up you spend time make slings, cutting digging sticks then making foraged plants into seeds for + survival, foraging, mending and salvaging leather zombie clothes and car seats for leather, gathering rocks for a kiln and smoker for preserving food, working up the fabrication/construction craft chain for a hoe. Much later on you salvage vehicles and if you lack a vehicle welder tend to your berry -> vinegar farm

Cotton balls only seem to be usable if you're bleeding now. I ate some fish and marijuana and spent my bandages and disinfectant (which still heals, somehow) to get up to level 1, hopefully it will recover soon.

He's wearing a chain mail, so his total AC will be 10, that's the problem.

With 26 Int, your spellpower will be 108.
Damage Formula : Nd(5+Power/5)
Petrifying or petrified monsters, N=3
Rock walls, stone walls, granite statues, N=3

Damage Formula : 3d(5+100/5)
Damage Formula : 3d25

Apply triple AC reduction
Damage of LRD : 3d25 - 3d10
>>
>>153397008
Correction, that's assuming all your skill is 27
If all your skill is 12, your spellpower is 67.

Damage Formula : 3d(5+67/5)
Damage Formula : 3d18

Apply triple AC reduction
Damage of LRD : 3d18 - 3d10

Since Urug's petrified, there's no AC reduction.
Damage of LRD : 3d18
Average : 28.5

His HP is ~63, so 2-3 LRD should kill him.

confirmed retarded

>>153402195
Not that anon, and still getting started out with Crawl (+ not very up to date with what the community and the devs are up to), but the thought of a game with Brogue's gameplay and as much content as Crawl makes me shiver in excitement.
Obviously it would never work in practice, you can't reconcile balanced and streamlined mechanics with a massive list of features. But hey, I can dream.

It's shit but it's still a really cool randart. It's so thematic I could see it working as a unrand dwhip
>>
>>153403668
but why a whip
>>
>>153403821
That's why you'd make it a demon whip instead
>>
>>153402080
Flavour > all.
>>
>>153401129
Gnolls are canonically hyenas.
>>
>>153404090
but why a dwhip
why would it be thematically appropriate
>>
>>153404507
I dunno anon, which particular species of malicious extraplanar creatures long for the downfall of this world?

>>153403668
>freeze rC++ would make an interesting unrand
what? that's boring as shit
what the fuck why is Punk the only artifact sling
>>
>>153404507
So people actually use it because whips are shit

You could go the autumn katana/wyrmbane way and make some OP special snowflake base type rather than a dwhip for it I guess
>>
>>153403668
>>153404815
We have one called the dagger of chilly death and it's terribad.

Cause slings are shit. It's the same reasoning you aren't using a rapier all game.
>>
>>153404815
I never said "interesting". If you see the list of randarts most of them are actually really boring like that. What I did say was that a weapon having both rC++ and freezing brand was thematic
>>
>>153404945
Greatslings actually aren't that bad, less so if you use proper sling bullets. You also have to take in account they're one handed so if you're using them as a normal sized character you should be using a shield along it. They're also the only spammable ranged choice for small races
>>
>>153404945
the dagger applies frostbite or something now at least
not that that's in any way a useful effect on anything other than a polearm
>>
>>153405093
unrands*
>>
>>153405404
They aren't that bad but they're worse than even longbows which begin flagging pretty hard against most of the endgame and extended without slaying, high charge song of slaying, and haste/finesse up at all times. It doesn't help that portal proj doesn't have a shutoff so wasting 8 mana to down that tormentor means you wont be able to rebuff for the entire duration of the fight either. Plus you can spectral weapon and sputterfly cheese mutators. You'll get a lot more out of evo unless you're like a halfling or merfolk with such an absurd apts in it or others that it doesn't matter if you do.

You know what I actually want to know?
Why tengu are allowed to wear body armour but draconians are not?
If the answer is that tengu have 2 limbs and their limbs are just part of their arms, then they should be prohibited from attacking while flying.
If not, then why the fuck draconians cant wear robes with their vestigal wings but tengu can?
>>
>>153406814
Wand probably
>>
>>153407141
It would be uncomfortable and redundant to wear armor over dragon scales. Plus implying that puny plate armor is harder than your scales is probably shameful to draconians
>>
>>153407141
If you check the tiles, you'll see that tengu don't actually have wings.

I guess they have gas sacs or something.
>>
>>153407643
Yes, anon. Player doll tiles are 100% accurate to what the creatures look like.
>>
>>153406814
God damn that is fucking fine man. Just sit on it if you can. Otherwise a staff.
>>
>>153407419
WRONG, the avatar of everything draconic is wearing a set of plate golden armour.
What a shit fucking game.

Orc gives literally nothing but 3 scrolls of identify and a staff of olgreb when playing SpAs^Trog
REEEEEEEEE

what is "you hear a distant wind" ?
some new portal?

>>153409402
You know that staff of Olgreb gives evocable OTR + Venom bolt right? Does trog forbid it?
>>
>>153409660
Yeah. Desolation of salt. It's pretty raunchy

>>153409818
Costs heavy food and he's diet restricted.
>>
>>153409818
yeah i know but i don't think it's worth it when you have 60+ poison needles with 17 throwing.


I entered some desolation place that doesnt even have tiles?? wtf is this shit
that can i expect?
>>
>>153410254
Many things have good AC, some are magic immune, some are fast (but not as fast as you) and have some annoying spell synergies, so take out things one at a time.
>>
>>153410254
Read the changelog txt file for a run down on each type of gimmick. Long and short of it is swams, jihadists, Orc warlod+phantasmal warrior MR slicers, and an orc knight style battlecry of fuck your shit.
>>
how do i minimize spell hunger?

pump spellcasting? or just the school that the spell is in
>>
>>153411039
Spellcasting, int, staff of energy, being undead/lichformed.
>>
>>153411039
Spellcasting, but spell hunger isn't really a concern unless you're literally burning through a ration's worth per cast
>>
>>153410881
>>153410562
you can't even 5 inside the place
and supposedly this has been in for nearly a week or so already?

>>153411039
Spell hunger is reduced by int * spc.
A level 9 spell costs 1000 hunger, so you need maxed Spc and 38 Int for hungerless level 9s.
Otherwise Staff of Energy or Lichform.
>>
>>153411039
stop caring about spell hunger unless you're a spriggan
>>
>>153411398
the loot seemed to be mostly magic related stuff and armor that doesnt fir a spriggan so i left the place
the crystal golem things dealt way too much dmg for my little Sp hp
>>
>>153411687
This. Even oka doesn't take sacrifices anymore and chunks consolidate. Just butcher and carry. If you move even remotely fast you are essentially chunk casting for half the game.
>>
>>153411963

>>
>>153413420
Technically all mythology is fiction.
That's not what I mean though, I mean the quality of the writing.

It's like reading a music review on Pitchfork.
