Eh. Depends where you look at. In DnD they never really were dogs, but originally described as "dog-like", which got interpreted in wrong way ( ex. see Japan's kobolds ).
In Angband doggybolds are used, in DCSS they are left vague ( but ugly ). Incursipn seems to use earlier DnD descriptions...

If trolls are so easy then why is the species highscore on the tournament only 32M even with Chei? There's also no one still capable of streaking Trolls for a lifetime even if they have the highest hp and easiest starts (trivializing the """hardest""" part of crawl) in the game.

Bandages stop bleeding. Cotton balls are everywhere in pillow disassembly and stop bleeding. Later on you can make hemostatic power so you aren't playing with your dick all day. Give them decent armor, read to them, turn off autopulp on everyone and haul zombie corpses into a semi-secure house you jacks the roofs out of and use it for a training arena to kill zombies daily to get them better than book skills.

Maybe according to your MiBrain. Even if Trolls seem very easy in paper, they're not because of their piss poor AC and spell apts. Whether for streaking, speedrunning or casual play, Trolls were never one of the strong races.

The game is a poorly coded spaghetti heap. Probably something stemming from unmaintained code when the magazine update went in.

Could be a dot of burn damage, casings (they're wonky as of lately) or rounding in item damage.

My pair of M249's are both ++ and I can't repair them again.

Tip: set up laser turrets at night
>>
>>163063425
Explore manually in chunks near cover using corridors or disintegration to minimize exposure. When crossing rooms being near a wall reduces how much you can be swarmed. Pay attention to things that makes noise and messages about out of sight monsters. Throw stones and backpedal to get melee away from the edge of explored space for marginally less chance of adds.Ranged generally isn't a problem. Use temporal distortion to shuffle them generally closer anyway if there's a problem. Bend time non-trivial fights. Pay attention to your mp so you can use step from time before it's an emergency to disengage. In general you need to raise your threat assessment as you have more trouble with things that don't give a shit about EV or SH and double/triple moves compounds the threat. Resistances are fairly important for minimizing getting assguttered

In general you just tab around because having a draconian of stats strapped to your draconian makes you pretty absurdly powerful and durable

>>163064432
you don't actually regenerate more hp per aut

the turncount used for speedrun scoring is player actions, so even though one cheimove might be 2.5 aut it'll always count as one "turn" for scoring purposes

just one of many reasons why crawl speedrunning is retarded

You don't regenerate more hp per aut but you regenerate more hp per turn thus gains.

Don't bother because you can't do it anyway. I'd actually believe you if it's Vinestalkers or DDBes because they're actually strong but Trolls? Naaaah. Every single splat you'll have with Trolls even offline just proves my point further.

You can always practice in offline wizard mode. Input your exact skills as well as stats and resists that you get in your randarts, consumables that reflect your inventory and you're pretty much done with a practice char that you could fiddle around for as long as you want to. Just ctrl+R to reset the floor if you died once. Wizard mode was made for this.

Killed two hulk on my way to this location.

Killed another two hulks and a small horde at this location.

About to kill three more hulks. Just another day in the life of Floridaman.

By the way, smokers are more fucking annoying than hulks right now since I've been trying to catch my breath for the last half hour and smokers keep wandering by to fuck up LoS and stink near me.

Okay so I'm finally getting lucky with Cataclysm, got a survivor with a bunch of skills up to 4, a good bow and metal arrows and a combat knife, starting up the metalworking chain but running into a hard stop on kiln. Do I just spam a bunch of charcoal kilns? Or try and disasemble the ONE solar car I've seen and turn it into a power farm for a mounted electric forge?
>>
>>163088191
>Do I just spam a bunch of charcoal kilns?
If you need charcoal, I suppose so. There are construction menu options to make kilns out of rocks or car parts, and they run on logs or two-by-fours, so it's not especially difficult to make.

It's also nice to have charcoal for smoking meat, in any case.

>Or try and disasemble the ONE solar car I've seen and turn it into a power farm for a mounted electric forge?
Why not mount the forge in the electric car, assuming the panels and batteries aren't broken?
>>
>>163089501
Well, part of the problem is my electronics skill isnt quite there yet to make the proper rig, as I've just found out through some wiki searching.

The real frustration with charcoal is the massive elaboration. Craft the filled kiln, activate it, put it down, wait five hours, activate it, disasemble it. It's just frustrating to do for 40 at a time when that 40 is nowhere near enough.
>>
>>163089795
>Craft the filled kiln, activate it, put it down, wait five hours, activate it, disasemble it.
No, use the ones on the construction menu (*), unless you really need portable. You can stuff it full of wood and get hundreds of charcoal at a time.

Unless they nerfed it since I last played, which is always possible.
>>
>>163090140
Looks like it's a skill point limit - At Construction 3 the kiln I THINK you're talking about exists. Just got to grind a little bit more construction and I can get there.
>>
>>163088191
>using solar power
You're always better suited using solar power over batteries. The amount of power forges and welders end up consuming can be quite extreme.

Even if you don't right now, you're probably going to want a solar farm at where ever you keep your hobo gold eventually.

Yeah its part of the massive imbalance between electric and non electric power. 6 2x4s turn into 40 charcoal - Which is equivalent forge power to 40 batteries.

Or I just use the 40k storage battery I got out of the fully charged but broken solar car once I have electronics 4 and can make it a mounted rig.

>>
>>163074021
They're both fine. Remember to should strap it cause it's only 3 turns to take it off via wielding it vs like 11 turns if you just wield it from inventory.

Remember to survivor harness a good gun like an L12 defender with shot for hardtoshoot mobs or an smg for clearing. Holster 2 higher caliber pistols. Preferably some of the rivshit that can easily kill them with only one magazine/cylinder. Ankle holster 2 small handguns just so you can field more bullets if you need to. Carry 4-8 grenades, 2 dynamite, 2+ molotovs for igniting zombie clothes into a roaring bonfire to pulp them, a smoke grenade for breaking Hulk LoS and scent, and throw wooden/iron javelins their max distance to train throwing whenever you're gonna be sitting around or before you go to bed with a ton of unused focus. Carry more grenades and dynamite for pack clearing if you know you're gonna be slugging it out. Once you're out of the earlygame, never be more than a block away from your vehicle, check your map constantly to know if a horde is/about to cut you off from it, and never drive it in where you can't quickly drive out. Forge a sledgehammer and get smashing if you need to. Force propagation and the welding nerfs can cause a solid day of work repairing damage from ramming cars off the road.

Seems like you picked Sokosolver.
Every level will be Sokoban with Sokoban rules.
GG.
Also you can't open doors automatically unfortunately.
>>
>>163074086
Use the .22/9mm/metal bolt to train your weapon skill up. Don't pulp all your zombies and once a day read some focus books and plink at them. You're a lot better when you're at 8/8 skill. 40/44/45/7.62/.223 is your general purpose workhorse caliber. You get enough of it that if you're not being wasteful you can tear up T3's. The heaviers like your .308 and 30-06 you'll have for down the road when zomb evo and masters result in you coming around a corner into 14 hulks.

You can clear everything below a hulk with shit like a knife spear/forked spear/qiang, a reflex recurve/longbow/pneumatic bolt driver/pneumatic assault rifle with fletchettes/nail rifle with fletchettes, and a cart of caltrops and blade traps. You can save ammo with grenade chucking, mind your enc so you don't blow your face off by taking too long to throw. The explosion rework really made them firecrackers on their center tile.

>>163078120
Haven't made a filter mask yet? Wear a couple things with mouth RP and throw on two dust masks when you see smokers. I think at 8 you do alright resisting it. Later on you'll have a gas mask swap or cbm's

>>163078436
Got your saline solution/eye drops so you can clear your sight in 2.5 turns? Get some better eye protection so you can't be blinded by goo. In general you have it pretty rough until the town exhausts a lot of its spawn pool. Dropping a lot of nailboard traps/caltrops and then a diamond of shallow pits to reach attack/grenade snipe at for a bit goes a long way. Plus all the noise keeps the hordes coming into your killbox. Then it's just mopup duty as you loot.
>>
A couple of suggestion for the Sokosolver
class:

>1)

Make stairs spawn where they usually would. Spawning in the middle of a zoo or at the end of the level, where the only thing you can do is fall down a hole to leave, is not only annoying as hell, it's also completely retarded.

>2)

Map the whole level before entering, a-la real sokoban.
It's immensely frustrating to find that you pushed a boulder next to another boulder simply because you couldn't see it before.
>>
>>163088191
>>163089795
>>163092063
huh? Just gather rocks, get construction up to 4, if you want a lower fail chance then go construct a rock kiln in the woods. chop a tree down and shove 12 logs and 4 heavy sticks into it and examine Y it every 6 hours for 2600 more charcoal than you'll use to forge and preserve shit.

Gather 96 rocks
Cut tree > cut tree into logs > Cut tree into plants > Log and sod wall. Build it with a corner so you can make roofing > Log and sod roof
Craft a rock kiln, smoking rack, and a rock forge.

Does anyone have any good advice on how to make the most of the Soul Armor transmutation in Demon? The most I've heard is that you should try to resist Mind and be weak to Ice, making the Psychic Kasha a good choice. But what about other elements, and speed and health bonuses? Surely you don't just pick up Soul Armor to use it once, right?
>>
>>163101448
Sandbox games breed the purest form of autism.
>>
>>163102649
Soul Armor is good for a demon with ok resists but good speed. The more weaknesses you have, the more hp you get and the more resists you have, the lower your hp. Ultimately there is no real "meta" as demon is still in development and not many people play it. there are no known mid-late game builds so you have to make your own assessment and perhaps ask /rlg/ about specific cases. That said mind resist is nice, but how about taking a weakness thats rare like body?
>>
>>163104236

So besides Body, which is rare, and Ice, which I'm told can't be burst, what are some other good weaknesses to have? Speed bonuses seem to run the gamut from 70% to 150%, is there any reason to try and bump it beyond, say, 120%?

Playing bit of scout, but not feeling it. Feels like I am really penalized for standing out in the open like dullard ( even with the bonuses, not that worth it so far ). Doesn't feel like it can compare to rogue or ninja.
I would like to play some non-magic ranged class, but I feel like there's in a proper one.
Sniper is basically waiting a lot and then oneshotting an unique. Archers are superb, but I would like to try something that has unique launcher-based attacks. There's weaponmaster, but those are very limited to their selected weapon.

Ranger is the jack-of-all-trades with decent-to-great melee, riding, devices, shooting and two magic realms.

Hey PCBR guy, can you display fail chances related to fear in device/scroll usage?

>>163114503
Fear blocks you when you try to bring up the 'r'ead menu (or spells or whatever), so it doesn't show up anywhere.
>>
>>163115040

>>
>>163114301
>>163115156

Hard to say. The way fear works is that it is separate fail chance, that basically
if( p_ptr->fear ){
loop( 1+fear_res ){
if( random(1,fear_save) >= random(fear_level) ) allow_thing = TRUE;
}
}
else allow_thing = FALSE;

Stuns and confusion is calculated into the fail-rate, but since it is seperate, it would have to be displayed somewhere else ( which would be relatively easy ). I could I could make it an entry in character-display. Like replace resist-fear with sort of chances you have to use X on different fear levels and base to resist fear in first place...

Sounds like you could calculate it for specific saves, though.

For example, player's level and player's level + 10.

Not perfectly accurate, but it could easily be the difference between

The meme trinity are the low-headroom roguelikes with tight design: Brogue, Sil, and Infra Arcana.

For all I can say, you should aim for whatever you feel like is necessary for your run, and you should try to make your party cover up your weaknesses as much as you can.

For all I know right now, the HP gains of two weaknesses and one resistance are marginally greater than one resistance and one weakness.

>>163104236
>>163105698
Be wary that the body weakness is pretty nasty on a frontliner; I can also imagine it being bad for anything with really low vitality, as infection and paralysis will slow your PC down and poison can stack very easily.
>>
>>163117556

No kidding, just met my end to poison with no way to fix it properly; wasn't even weak to body. I've mostly been play Crown for the quick summon/dismiss and then picking either soul transposition or armor when I hit level 5, and I'm not really feeling like I'm making the most out of them? What are some good relic upgrades to pick?
>>
>>163105698
i prefer dark/light or physical weaknesses since the main threat is getting ganked/chain statused, not taking higher damage/turn

body and mind weaknesses are extremely dangerous
>>
>>163118071
I've yet to start Demon, but from what I'm reading in the newbie guide threads, Light weakness is supposedly pretty common?
>>

>>
>>163118071
>i prefer dark/light or physical weaknesses since the main threat is getting ganked/chain statused, not taking higher damage/turn
Only if you pick bad relic abilities.

If you pick the good ones, you can let one dude eat all the statuses and then swap him for a fresh one.
>>
>>163117965
There's a lot to consider, depending on how your game is going and what you feel may help you in the future. Aside from quick summon and quick dismiss, far summon seems pretty good for melee characters. Transpose soul is good but can easily be a wasted upgrade; only get it if there are some hard-to-acquire abilities you want for sure.
>>
>>163118594
it's pretty common. smite does low/moderate damage and doesn't need line of fire. but unless i'm forgetting something there are no light status effects aside from guilt

>>163118712
that's a good general strategy, but sometimes shit happens. if you have to pop a frontliner and get paralyzed/panicked/charmed (or just get hit by something smite targeted) things can get bad fast
>>
>>163119009

Thanks, I'll remember that. I asked above about which Uniques are worth getting, using for fusions, and disregarding entirely. Any advice on that front?
>>
>>163119249
Every unique has its niche; you may get whatever can fulfill a role that your party lacks. When it comes to their modifiers, some are certainly more flexible than others: for example, Python's chthonic works for most demons, if not all of them. On the other hand, Actaeon's well fed is generally the best on demons like zombies and aspis, which already have fairly high vitality and HP and won't lose much from getting a bit slower. Either way, you may want to disregard them if you don't think you can complete their links.

>>163119150
There's also mute, but it only blocks "non-physical" abilities so it doesn't do much of anything to a pure hitdude.
>>
>>163119150
>there are no light status effects aside from guilt
Mute
MC is relatively unaffected by it, though.

>if you have to pop a frontliner and get paralyzed/panicked/charmed (or just get hit by something smite targeted) things can get bad fast
Most status inflicting mons have relatively weak groups that you can handle from a distance.
Meanwhile light mons are often the formidable packs of angels that always have smites, damage buffs, heals, good resistances and good melee. And by the end, also powers (the mon type), which wreck shit hard with physical.
>>

Actaeon and Headless are both decent tanks and have pretty gud modifiers. Most people just get headless to turn into a modifier, however he does have some use as a tank. Actaeon is a good choice for a frontliner, however he shows massive weakness in Anomaly where Fire is quite common and he will get destroyed by Fotia. I've never used Artemis as I'm a stagfag, however I've heard shes good for a needle build. Vikhor and Turduk are good dancers.

That's an easy way to run into horrible code, which is one of the biggest problems with PCB.

If I'm understanding the code correctly, a deathblade keeps on getting +1 to it's accuracy until it fails a 1 in 2 chance, so the the chance of getting a +7 one is 1/(2^7) = 1/128

It's actually even less, since I think the one_in_(X) function includes 0, so one_in_(2) is a random number 0, 1 or 2 where 0 is a success.
So really a +7 is a 1/(3^7) = 1/2187 chance.
+10 would be 1/(3^10) = 1/59049.

Old lair was long and you could be at ease until your character grew strong.

That feels like the demarcation between old crawl and nu-crawl: Old crawl had 27 dlevels of intermittent action, whereas nu-crawl is just nonstop packs and spawns as soon as you get to the lower Lair levels, with places like Spider, Snake, and Depths having absurd enemy counts to compensate for clipped off areas elsewhere. This is of course a great thing for melee classes, especially axe users, meanwhile spellcasters inevitably trigger scores of OOD spawns as they try to top off their MP.

Crown and Hand compete for the spot of worst relics ever. If you want melee go Titan's Fist. For anything else, Heart, Orb and Mask are all good.
Orbs is more of Nuker, but it also has a great buff start. Heart is a good start for offensive support(Or if you want to use shitty thunder spells), and Mask has the most options for pure support(and meme needles).

Is chaos brand secretly OP? Because last I checked, people ditch their chaos weapon generally first chance they get.

Only use for on will other than allowing someone to brand a better tier of weapon with chaos, is to strip disruption so it can be safely unequipped. Other than that, would it somehow be an abusable thing?

The two times I've ran into this bug I completed the Warg quest, immediately recalled back to town for the reward, then recall back into the dungeon. Except in *rare* cases, all the stairs went up (short and longer dungeon lvls).

I did all this the 2nd time on another character, but when down to Dlvl 6 before recalling to town for the reward. I'd then be able to progress fine in Stronghold up until roughly Dlvl 13 where the same bug of all stairs are going up occurs again.

This bug only seems to happen in Stronghold though. I haven't found any other weird problems like this in Orc Cave or Icky Cave (not sure about the other dungeons).

I had it fixed.
For clarification, it applies only to ironman_stairs/coffeebreak, and was side-effect of my code that allows beating warg-auest regardless of what depth you are at ( ex. if you are at depth 7 and take quest, wargs spawn at that level ).
However, what I mean by fixed is that I could not replicate it anymore. Perhaps I should have instead just removed warg-quest, instead.

Holy mother of fuck, who's the idiot who thought preventing vampires from being able to cast spells unless they're at full satiation was a good idea?

That idea defies conventional understandings of retardation. NO one is going to make a spell-caster whose abilities could wink out of existence in an instant, without any warning whatsoever. At least conventional races get hunger meters, you're telling me the second my Vampire Transmuter becomes thirsty, he's just an underpowered monk with delusions of grandeur?

High elves have the highest racial skills (and notably, the highest device skill outside of races with big penalties to melee stats), I think, which is nice for the nodevice classes like warriors.

Granted, this doesn't mean a whole lot most of the time, since racial contribution to skills besides stealth and device isn't really important, and most classes can reach the breakpoint of using staves of healing without needing to be a high elf.

Expanded the amount of quarks.
Whole system might need some reworking, separating inscriptions and artifact names since the new names ( that are way more random than in vanilla ) run the artifact name-space rather quickly.
While closing and opening the game helps to clean up unused quarks, it might hit a hard limit at some point - although effects are relatively benign, you will start to get artifacts with ' ' as name. (ex. Broad Sword {+5,12}

Crawl needs a wider variety of play styles, it's basically:
>armoured tabber
>blaster caster
>stabber
>transmuter
and once you've won those kind of playstyles, every single game is the exact same
>>
>>163179121
It isn't only problem with Crawl. It's mostly so that the end-game challenge usually just favors certain playstyles.
PCB is kind of example of it. Nearly every class needs ?*Destruction, ?Genocide and !*Healing to beat Serpent, because of how bullshit summoning is in general.
Devices are really backbone of any character, and being very bad at them without having alternative ( ex. access to certain realms ) kinda neuters the characters' prospects at endgame.

Although this carries asterix of 'good player can make suboptimal setup work'. You can beat DCSS outside of those four playstyles ( hybrid melee/caster, rune-thief... ), but it will be more arduous than playing an easy or simple combo.

I am also pondering bunch of classes. Perhaps it is bad since I still have bunch of others to balance ( ex. maledict ), but it implementing such things would be fun.
Basically monster hunter class ( shooter-class, bonuses and tracking on unique/questor/wanted monsters, shooting-skills, not quite proficient in shooting as archers, but about as good as warrior, not accounting the unique abilities ) and gambler ( think of Setzer from FF6 - sort of. Gambles gold on spell-effects, or something like that. I think it would be challenging to balance and make fun )

The are probably the best starting upgrades, but if you can survive long enough to replace the terrible starting abilities and make proper use of the relic upgrades, you can probably win with any other relic.
It's better to get quick dismiss(quick summon isn't as useful) at level 5 with another relic than starting with Crown for it.

You often find a flaming edged weapon by d:15 and can get 6ish skill to drop the delay down. with decent fighting and defenses it's plenty. Plus you can just go up then down different stairs to shake them or invest in evo/invo of a better god and just blast them

>>163193875
Taekwondo gives you more durable blocks. Low enc on top of a bunch of the rapid attack and feint forms lets you attack very fast. Especially on centipede.. Ninjutsu gives you silent weapon attacks to combine with light step, inconspicuous, weak scent and night vision. Reliable Throws/knockback make you invincible in melee behind pits and windows as long as they last. the grab bag forms like krav maga are pretty helpful

Counter-attack is pretty blegh as it should never be happening in the first place. There's no reason to not be using reach attacks nor to stick around and allow the situation to degenerate to where you are getting hit.
>>
>>163195157
I'm not so sure...it's very in line with the "rules" of nethack such that a player could guess what was going on if they were suspicious. All those independent effects (shopkeeper greeting, player/monster invisibility, aggro shopkeepers after damaging) make perfect sense, if only in retrospect after the first time it happens.

Makes for a great story and a piece of knowledge that will not be easily forgotten. Great nethack.

I normally just grind tailoring up to 7 or 8 and make OP armors. After that point I don't take any damage from anything other than acid anyway, I guess that's why it hasn't been a problem.

Krav maga works with all cutting weapons, no? Seems like a decent general purpose one in that case, but then again there are those weapons that count as unarmed like knuckles and whatnot.

Alright I'm sorry for being an annoying fag about these fighting style questions but I have one more.

It looks like these rapid strike abilities on the various styles and weapons are actually a negative against armored enemies since the lowered damaged is blocked more effectively by their armor, is that correct? I'm not the best are trying to figure out how all this shit works together.

Generally easier solution, since you don't have to download all the junk associated with the source ( ex. bunch of excel-sheets for calculating stuff ), plus it is kinda annoying to deal with when maintaining.
It's just more convenient to put them in different repo.

Anyway, regarding the compiler errors, I am not sure how it all goes so wrong.
Since I am dullard on issues of compiling, I can just offer much advice. I did use MS Visual Studio 2013 ( maybe get the redistributeable dll? ) to compile it on my end without trouble, and I have generally been updating the makefile along it.

I'm just disappointed because apparently punch dagger and the like are actually downgrades to bare fists if you have any kind of unarmed skill which makes no sense. And the other weapon styles like silat and eskrima are pretty useless.

Really the whole martial art system is a huge mess, there's effectively very little difference between them.

I think it would be better if you could just learn techniques and then mix and match a certain number of them depending on your skill to make your own 'style'.

Horses will evolve into Unruly Horses but not anything better. You could get yourself a baby multihued dragon and keep it around long enough for it to become a great wyrm of many colours. But it would probably die way before that.
You're better off not focusing on evolution and instead thinking about what's most useful *now* -- pets with good damage from melee/spells, good speed, useful spells (haste self!), and eventually good hp/resistances so they don't get instagibbed by breathers.

basajuan was just "large race with +0 spell apts"

They'll nerf Trolls eventually too because it's a no-brainer to always go UC. Probably somewhere along the lines of -2,-3,-4 UC apt in exchange for raising weapon apts that nobody cares so they can push their "muh 1H+large shield" and "balanced apts for multiple choices yaay!" epic maymay.

>Is it a good idea to go V1 to 4, then finish Dephts right now so I can loot some items before going for the third and further runes?
V1 to 4 is almost always easier than depths, but depths is easier than V:5, so to minimise danger the best way to proceed is
>V:1-V:4
>Complete depths
>V:5
>Abyss and Slime
>>
>>163225260
I did Abyss and Slime before V:5 last time
>>
>>163225358
By minimising danger, it also minimises the risk of bad mutations like teleportitis and berserkeritis but if you're comfortable with Abyss and Slime and have some cure mute pots you can go ahead.

reflection will do you good through V:4, just be careful of being shit on by any elf caster packs

loot is kind of shit for V:1-4 but you might find some good shops

Presumably he's a qt girl ant since males have the ability to fly.

So instead of a pingas, he has a shapely abdomen but no functioning genitialia because drone. Of course, formicids could have standard mammalian dimorphism instead of the haploid/diploid structure of typical ants. Someone ask pubby.

>>163235716
depends on what your class is strong at obviously

if you are beefy melee tabmaster like warrior or mauler you might just dive straight to stronghold 15

if you are a squishy wizard you will probably hang out in the swamp and bully hydras for freexp
>>
>>163235854
I'm used to crawl where I clear everything out and never dive, are the last floors of stronghold the only ones that are worth it then?
>>
>>163235960
you should dive pan, hell, arguably slime, and zot
>>
>>163235960
in DCSS if you want to get all the loot in the dungeon you have to full clear all the floors. there will only ever be 5 levels of vaults, etc

in *bands there are an infinite number of new floors generated, though
there's no need to spend your time clearing low level areas as long as you can safely survive deeper, because the deeper you are the better shit loot you find and the more xp you find

so if you are having an easy time at your current level, you just dive down the first > you see
>>
>>163236370

More like dive everything as often as possible because crawl is too easy
>>
>>163235960
The way bands work is that item quality is a function of depth, so you want to be as deep as you can survive at. Also eventually you just want to be as deep as possible, since the monsters at say, dlvl 60 aren't significantly easier than the monsters at dlvl 90.

Early on I'd just skip floors that don't show up as a level feeling at least as good as "you don't like the look of this place", as that usually means either an ego item on the floor or a unique.

The only reason why MiBe is OP is because of Trog's Hand rather than the race itself because you can spam degenerate regeneration as early as D:3. Once it's removed, MiBe will end up as just another copypaste of a powerful but balanced otabber.

Brighten up mate it wasn't entirely your fault even if you got blown the fuck out lmao. Having little to no AC means your early/mid game/s will always be very shaky and have little room to act in a lot of situations/respond to fault compared to melee races that are capable of early game AC+EV no matter how strong Troll's innate mutations are making them just an above average/average race. Why do you think people never recommend wearing leather armor for otabbers during Lair/late D even if they give EV? Because your HP bar will always be shaky when fighting mobs so High AC+ some EV is preferable and recommended. Trolls can't into AC or even EV because they're large.

So how do you play an extended Beogh? Only call your warlord homies during bossfights? I only have 3 of them so I'm not sure if they'll make a difference and a lot of Panlords/Hell lords are too AOE.
>>
>>163249413
You don't.
Seriously, Beogh is rather weak choice of god for extended, since any monster that is actually a tangible threat can tear your warlords to shreds. While they offer a meatshield, I don't think it is that good choice.

Personally I would swap a god, since Beogh's wrath is laughable to begin with. If you have trained invocations, a god with great invocation-dependent abilities might be a good choice ( ex. I swapped my 15-runer HOMo from Beogh to Qazlal when I went for extended - after doing abyss, mind you. )

i hate any and all persistence. i even hate it when classic roguelikes do it. nethack bones levels are fucking terrible. they're borderline cheating- no fuck that, they totally are cheating. they are an insanely unfair and huge advantage, especially when you are playing on a public server. you get a huge dump of free loot from some other guy with the very minor qualification that it's all cursed. butyou can uncurse it with one scroll, so it's meaningless.

ADOM unfortunately has also started going down this route, though it is far more sane about it because only a few items from the inventory are actually chosen and the spawned player ghost is actually extremely threatening instead of basically harmless like in nethack. it's still terrible though and i hate it.

Trolls start with 5/9 or 5/10 AC/EV depending on how much Dodging their background gets. 5/10 is what a high elf or a human gets with a ring mail on.

As with ogres, the bottleneck is mostly right before Lair and at the beginning of the Lair, then one more in Lair branches. Trolls get regeneration though at that nullifies one of the biggest early problems - poison. You can actually fight one or two bees at a time without having to chug lignification. The -2 fighting apt is nullified with +30% HP. You also get a good weapon right from the start - it's like starting with a mace, getting a flail at D:2 and a morningstar at D:5. However the biggest selling point is that you can use shields. This doesn't help with the first bottleneck, but helps with the second - where ogres have to tackle Shoals with something like 8/15/0, a troll will go in with 8/15/14, a substantial difference. In return you get bad Evo apt but that's not completely horrible and the Invo apt is decent enough to get you important god abilities.

The problems for trolls are early smites (orc priests), centaurs and some uniques. The rest is just a matter of whether you feel like evoking feet or not before things get too nasty. I didn't feel like it so I lost the bet with you like a retard and I deserve all those images.

So yeah, minotaurs are better than trolls. Deep dwarves and spriggans are probably better but I can't play either properly. I'm not sure about gargoyles, I haven't played one in a while. Other than that there aren't any species I'd rate higher than trolls. Not deep elves, not hill orcs, not demonspawns, not merfolk and not vine stalkers.
>>
>>163249413
Smite is the only ability you'll have in extended, the rest are non-existent. That said, high (20+) Invo smites do considerable damage, making e.g. tormentors, hellions or neqoxecs a zero threat if you face one or two at a time.

you could leave spellcasting and mummies exactly as is and shit would be fine

spriggans + gozag would probably need a small nerf though

maybe reduce sp max mana or spc/conj apts to account for the fact that the main thing keeping them from being infinite-kite blaster casters was actually just hunger

maybe gozag could have a chance to turn monsters' item drops to gold too so you get less loot

Mostly that you can't really expect to win PCB by just tabbing since you need to plan ahead a lot, unlike Crawl. Monsters can, and will, attack out-of-sight, and can without proper resistance oneshot you ( ex. elemental breaths cap at 900 damage, which is more than lot classes+races max hp )
