ADOM tutorial

[goldaryn]

Thank ye all for yer kind words. I will probably
do another barbarian for my next try. Next one
will be a troll though, as I'd like to try showing
off their advantages. St and To rule : )

Woohoo. I was hoping you'd do another baba

very inspiring, and reading your tutorials (if you call them that) is a little bit like playing adom, especially when there is no clue in knowing if the next slide will be fatal ) and looking at masses of jackals to seem them all dead a turn later is just a nice luxury. Cheers, carry on, it is entertaining and education at the same time. the right thing on weekends.

Spot on, really enjoy reading these

One little thing I liked about the first one (wizard) was how the links were organized at the bottom

[gut]

Few more pages up on barbarian 2.

lol at the DF pool comments.

go killer! avenge poor old fiddlehead!

[gut]

Few more pages up on Killer, the barbarian.

Also, just organized the links for Fiddlehead.

woo.. good update

i never knew that

shield marks topped out for certain sizes of shield

and i've been playing this game on and off since 97 or 98. heh. i have still never won, furthest i have got was the other day when i got killed by

the cat lord. i got stuck in the arena with a cat and had no way to 
avoid it. char was a promising hurth elem who had whirlwind, and it 
was well trained! and i saved khelly and i raided DF - nothing brilliant,
 but it was a first for me, and fun :). anyway, the cat lord - i had 4
 cursed !oInvis with his name on - a gut tip there - and I used them
 on him ....and got a bit too cocky with burning hands instead of 
being extra cautious and soaking him in pots:-(

anyhow. i'm not a hardcore roguelike player, so i'm not that fussed about the win - it'll come eventually. i love adom, i enjoy every game. mostly.

(i even have my name in the manual for some suggestions, pre 1.1.1 :P)

i digress. so, nice one gut, keep the l2plays up. you are teaching new things to a 10-year veteran (noob), :thumbs up:

Yeah, shield skill level can only increase to the maximum DV of a shield. For example, a [+3,+1] wooden shield will only train up to skill level 3. Also, if you train your shields up to say skill level 12 with a crystal tower shield then downgrade to a large adamantium shield (-1) [+9,+3], you only get the shield skill bonus of skill level 9.

I never knew that!

Hmm. What if you are in that second scenario and you dual-wield shields?

That is actually a good question I never thought about before. I will do some testing later tonight and fill you in tomorrow afternoon.
