What a log

So monsters should spawn in temple after 100,000 turns
problem solved

He added more text, added the 'You feel less exhausted' since it probably checks after xy turns something

Why?

to solve the problem?

Of what?

the problem

But whats the problem?

Romance mod in DDA when? Can't wait to have an NPC fuck my anime waifu

we must solve it
200 hundred millions

>h*ck
Moderate your language, user!

>Want to make VpGl of Kiku and lead my own army of undead
>Armour shop with randart helmet, gloves (the +2 pair of gloves "Emin" (worn) {rElec rF+ rCorr Str+2}), branded ring mail and scarf.

WHY

How do I make NPC join me in CDDA? After failing the first time the odds keep decreasing

But Dchannel is the best

Can't remember how nice it is, but I have a full storehouse of corpses and no way to use them. Also I need help earlier then I can get it.

Playing TrMo, Okawaru gifts this armor on D:8.
thanks senpai

Wow, Warlock's Mirror is some crazy shit.

GET OUT

Which Roguelike is the most complex when it comes to random unpredictable simulations in combat or w/e? Like what game gives you the most fun and bizarre events.

Read through the pastebin, but I'm not really looking for the best "game", just looking for a game that can make me laugh at the weird shit that happens through series of randomized events.
Have only played Ivan so far and that had many fun moments, until It started getting sort of predictable.

What skills should I train first?
Armour? Fighting? Dodge? Max UC first?

CDDA

play DCSS as Chaos Knight with chaos brand weapons only.

But from your description I'm thinking you'll have more fun with a rogue-lite/indie. Dungeon of the endless, Binding of Isaac, FTL, Neo Scavenger, Death Road to Canada, etc.

Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode

thats enough unarmed for 3runes
but get that dodge and fighting higher

Yeah forgot to mention, Ive played tons of DF and loads of fun. Basically looking for something like Dwarf fortress Adventure mode, just maybe with even more focus on gameplay / combat.

>CDDA
>play DCSS as Chaos Knight with chaos brand weapons only
Will check em, thanks.

>But from your description I'm thinking you'll have more fun with a rogue-lite/indie
Tried a bunch of those, but I had way more fun with Ivan or DF.
Really just want something with text based combat where anything can happen, or with as many options as possible. Ivan was especially fun with the gods, mutations etc.

hibernate until the next Dwarf Fortress release

>g-get o-out of my t-tummy, baka!

>played tons of DF and loads of fun
*Had

Is DF really the best game for this kind of stuff? I mean it is amazing, but I always thought DF's combat was just an afterthought, and not as fleshed out as it would be in other RLs.

I just found this:

lostlabyrinth.com/index.php?p=download

It's basically a patchwork beast of about 5 other games, but it's ok for a coffeebreak roguelike.

Most other roguelikes it's just roll accuracy then roll damage
sometimes you get a modifier on it
some roguelikes have better accuracy/damage formulas than others

okay, thanks.
Train both at the same time? or should I alternate between them?

Daily reminder that Cataclysm DDA updates daily :^)

Cataclysm DDA.

Cataclysm lets you BE almost anything, although everything you can be boils down to doing the same few things to the same enemies.

this game is already over

I see, that is kind of surprising. I always thought the randomness and fun situations was sort of a trademark for RP tabletops and Roguelikes.
I'll start by trying Cata then, thank you my dudes.

I mean, Dungeon Crawl has a bunch of different weapon types and you can mix that up even further with transmutation forms (which generally only work with unarmed combat except for statue form) and they all have different stats but at the end of the day you're making a single attack that takes an amount of time determined by your skill, rolling accuracy, then rolling damage and applyng brands if you hit
PCB has an even larger variety of weapons and brands but in the end of the day it's just damage multipliers

How do I turn in the "Find Lost Dog" mission in CDDA? I have the dog around me and can blow the dog whistle, but doing that and talking to the NPC that gave me the mission both do nothing

What about something similar to Ivan? Being able to kick an object on the floor and have it hit an enemy, pray to the gods for some random boon, or something that has more options just than "attack", "defend".
I dont really mind that there's little randomness if you have loads of options or room for creativity in how you play.

Train dodge and armor to 15 then switch tofighting

>got to d:6
>found these weapons already
I just wanted to punch people..

fun

roguelikes aren't meant to be fun

What is this "defend" thing you speak of
There is only attack and positioning

I am new to roguelikes, only really played DF and Ivan.

Real life.

Elona.

DCSS before fun was removed.

You should try DC:SS, play version 0.11 and pick Sludge Elf Transmuter, distill all the potions and then evaporate them at your enemies
punch everything else to death with your spider hands

got to level 7
gay as heck game

Dwarf Fortress really is the best simulation videogame out there. Sorry.

Oh. You could try Powder.

I sometimes forget about Powder.

>cast hydra form
>HUNGER COST sends me into starving
>eat the blink frog
>takes me to Very Hungry
hmmm yes good

emprahofthedunes where you @

I would laugh, but this is what's sad is that the Crawl devs actually believe this.

They're right, fun is just a buzzword for when you don't know why you like something. Roguelikes should be as predictable as possible to promote competition

>should be as predictable as possible to promote competition
>Crawl still uses Linley's absolutely fucking retarded 1ddam+1dslaying combat

most spells use up to 12d

>not liking the damage 1 LCS

There is nothing more predictable than white noise.

Would it be possible to make a roguelike with no RNG?

youtube.com/watch?v=CujxjeWnN1w

jesus christ I had completely forgotten about goliath beetles.

LCS can never do 1 damage before AC
It can be reduced to 0 damage

>LCS can never do 1 damage before AC
suppose the character has 0 AC

LCS uses 3 dice minimum, so its minimum dmg is 3

Is a +12 battleaxe with vampiric and a few other perks going to be useful in the endgame, or does vampiric drop off somewhere?

That will never stop being amazing but it's fucking useless against anything that's not alive
don't bring it into Crypt/Tomb/Hell/Pan/Abyss, get holy wrath or just a bigger axe for those areas

>buy 3 un-id'd scrolls of acquirement on D:3
>they give me a hat of int, a +2 hat of +3 str and a pair of +0 corrode gloves of RN

Dwarf Fort adventure mode, easily.

gloves are good

how do I show list for monsters or objects in poschengband? it's a contextual command right

This looks so calming and fun

Battleaxe of gods, its real good

If you've never made your own roguelike you are not allowed to complain about other rogulikes

Why would you waste the scrolls taht early, wtf is wrong with you user

Yeah better keep them and then die

>he fell for the AAA meme

the fuck is this

Its just invis but you never get to use it because you need preservation

It's 0.15, fire no longer burns scrolls. It's a MuMo anyway, so I can't use invis.

] is monsters
[ is objects
you can also have this lists in always-visible subwindows if you want. it's p. important to do this for the monster list at least.
