Mostly.
Prior to 1.2.0, there were exactly 20 classes, making 4 or 5 teams the ideal number of teams to have. Oh well.
I would say the best idea is to shoot for the same as was done before: 4 or 5 teams....
This is a fun idea, inflicting restrictions. In the spirit of chaos, though, how about instead of picking a restriction, you shoot a random one, that is in a pool of pre-determined restrictions. The...
You know, the new proposed system seems to do a lot of shifting thresholds, and seems complex when dealing with being on the borderline of a corruption. If you *just* gained a corruption, would...
Yes. I say the shattering mirrors instakills you if your Ap is too low. That'll teach you for being ugly.
Ap becomes potentially game-changing stat? Check.
Done.
Are you the same Iridia from the old brinkster forums?
Not now, no. I think everyone knows he has enough to be going on with right now, what with adding entire chunks of content.
But as I said during the debate about reworking Elementalists, it never...
A little levitation wouldn't be a bad idea.
Toggle it on and off, drains PP while in use, allows you to float over water, lets you move a faster (reduces energy cost of movement by X%). Make it...
Trolls have that penalty for a reason. They are extremely strong and tough, and can keep a PC of any class alive early by virtue of their starting Str/To alone. I don't think "well, we should...
I don't know what this comment means. Eyes in salad? Is that an english saying? Maybe it's just from my area?
In any case, Jellyslayer was not too far off with his comment, it's not absurd at all....
"Funny, the monsters I just killed in this dark room dropped an eternium dagger, a wand of digging, a robe, and a potion of invisibility."
Or does he not drop these things if you kill him? I don't...
You can create blank scrolls by dipping any scroll into a potion of (regular) water. They are also randomly found, but are much rarer than many of the basic scrolls (identify, etc.).
The magical...
I am almost always bloated and burdened =((((
In fact, before I hit 16 St, I'm almost always strained.
I don't push it with the Strained!. That extra exclamation point makes it feel too risky....
Play slowly. Be aware of what you have in your inventory, and don't be afraid to use it. For weak PCs in the early game with no means of identification, I tend to zap wands to blow a charge and just...
Very typical sequence:
1] Terinyo -> Get quests, acquire rations until burdened. If Lawful, lure farmer/goodwife out of Terinyo, kill until neutral.
2] Bandit Town -> view (ID) items in black...
Ech, where are these tactics most common anyway? The Chaos Piranha lake? That's so many bases to cover.
Just add an extra dice roll that makes the ice bridges break randomly. You can't dodge the...
I have never finished an ADOM game aligned chaotic, never mind C from start to end.
Both ultras I have finished are ULE, one with a Paladin (the epitome of a 'good' hero).
My most common regular...
Yes indeed. On that topic, there's a very interesting game ending that you can achieve with the Chaos Knight, and it's the only class in the game that can achieve it. Kind of the opposite of an ultra...
They can be.
You'll quickly notice upon starting a Chaos Knight game that you are widely regarded as the 'bad guy', and that your appearance in the Drakalor Chain is seen as ... less than welcome....
Hah, I still maintain that they are :)
If indeed there is one place they excel over Wizards, it is the earliest of the early game of course, where Wizards are not guaranteed to have access to 3...
I have to admit that I enjoy your monologue far more when things are going poorly.
"I hope that's not a cursed ring of damage or .... (probably realizing that's the only ring that has a negative...
Well I played NetHack about 3 years before discovering ADOM, so that would be around '96. That would put me at 9 years old. Modems were 14.4kbps, the internet was not quite so prevalent, and I don't...
Maybe a few months? I didn't scum ADOM, I played Nethack for quite a while so I got all my scumming out on that game before I knew it was a thing. I was spoiled here and there, though probably not to...
I completely disagree with this viewpoint.
Not everyone finds what you did enjoyable, and not everyone will want to spend 2-3 years to complete a game. You're extrapolating your personal...
