I like Sil. If you win, then you were the fabled elf who got the silmaril. If you lose, then you were just one of the many who got torn to shreds, boiled and eaten by orcs, and ultimately ended up a pile of bones in the corner of a forgotten room in the fortress of angband.

>spriggan going TSO for extended the heck, spriggans are built to run and hide. TSO makes it impossible for you to be stealthy; going TSO removes like 1/2 of the spriggan's tools. If you went TSO as a challenge, that's one thing. But if you were trying to be optimal, zin or elyvilon would be preferable. >go ely >if HP gets low, just use two greater healings to get to full HP and keep on going >go zin >just imprison whatever's chasing you, zip over to the rune, imprison whoever's chasing you now, run to portal
I sincerely believe that going TSO for an extended game spriggan was a masochistic choice

here i thought i'd at least find some plutonium. what the fuck is the point of this
Jacob Thompson
Yeah, I've never taken a spriggan into extended before, and I played it like a minotaur. Oh well.
Rolling again.

>tso i told you to go zin last thread! that infodumping user even forgot about sanctuary, the get out of anything free card
Alexander Allen
just play dorf fort instead
Camden Foster
you also had frail and didn't use your ten mut pots to remove it. what the heck user
Xavier Edwards
What are the more combat-tactics oriented RLs (Brogue, DoomRL)? And are there any non-RL tactics games that you rogues approve of? I just started playing ToME4 (default difficulty) and am finding the combat super blah. Shredding everything up to lvl 12 so far and only nearly died once.
Tyler Powell

Samuel Ward
DDA by a landslide. That's pretty much the only reason I play it.
James Torres
Sometimes when I play NetHack I alt-tab once in a while to write fan fiction about what my character is doing. There isn't really a 'story' but a lot of interesting things with emotional weight happen to a character.
Angel Ortiz
thats pretty cute, user
Adam Ward
link now mother fucker
Jack Rivera
Sil has OK tactics.
Explicit non-RL tactics games are great. I'm playing Antiyoy on my phone, but other than that it's slim pickings.
Lucas Price
Thanks user. I'm finding much difficulty finding any game I enjoy, so I'll be sure to check them out.
Benjamin Peterson
It's pretty much ultimate cringe, but since writing about roguelike games is more fun than playing them I'm having a good time.
Hunter Roberts
how fun may your autism never let up
Dylan Russell
kek you should seriously try dwarf fortress if you haven't yet
Adam Reed
DF was great circa 2012, but then Toady started adding all this miscellaneous crap to the game that it just wasn't fun to play anymore.
Jaxson Brooks
DDA logic: my character can't smash a counter unarmed, but can wielding a funnel.

Isaiah Edwards
I hope you get the opposite color of your element
Ethan Ward
Maybe if you suck.
Connor Smith
I do indeed suck, I've been going the dude with smithing mastery and trying to hold out for a forge, where the FUCK is my forge. I found one, then Gorgol & Co scared me off after my first creation, then later on a different floor they cornered me and killed me, and I haven't gotten to a forge for the next 5 games
Camden Watson
Don't do smithing.
Evan Cooper
smithing is fine in sil-q if that is indeed what you're playing which i assume you are since it's what's in the OP
Henry Roberts
I gotta do smithing. My first 15 games were actually edain, of that house that gives you +1 str and melee affinity, I fell for the meme and it was fun. Smashing people's faces in with a 4d15 greataxe while I myself only had 20 HP. And I just found a forge on my dwarf, so let's see what happens.
nah, just regular sil
Sebastian Myers
oh then yah don't smith
Noah Rodriguez
smithing just doesn't have the benefits to justify the XP/stat sink? I just crafted a hauberk and two rings of evasion
Luke Wright
it was super op in past versions and then got overnerfed into not-worth-bothering-with-ness sil-q unnerfs it a bit in an attempt to bring it up to reasonable strength

Logan Long
ok, another question. I am using a +7, 2d12 glaive, and I have song of slaying up at +3, yet in my dice rolls window it shows that I'm still only doing +7 on attack. Additionally, I have that polearm feat where you wait and get 1/2 your perception score attack bonus, and that's 3 for me. Neither of those bonuses seem to show on the dice rolls screen. They're still there right, just not shown? It's not just a bug that they're not factoring in at all?
Jordan Garcia
Oh, you know what, I think song of slaying was increasing the enchantment on the glaive, so when I looked at that +7, it was already factored into that +7, it was really a +4 glaive with slaying adding 3 to it. And as for the 'focused attack' feat, somehow I fatfingered in the menus and turned it off. What a dummy.
Austin Myers
C:DDA and Brogue, nothing else comes close to those two. C:DDA is a zombie movie and Brogue is an Indiana Jones movie.
Zachary Hall
huh, in Sil your song of slaying buff decays over time, but it isn't reset when you stop singing. So if you have like +3 slay when you stop singing, then a few turns later you start singing again, you'll still have like +2 or +1. That's pretty nice.
Kayden Gonzalez
is it possible to get a single floored lab in cdda?
Chase Fisher
>if you drop an item in Sil and there is no room for it on the floor it simply disappears from the game
the fuck
Kevin Richardson
Yes. In my case I've been roaming around the world for the past week and I've only found 1 (uno) lab in a remote area of the game, used its magic mapping abilities, found out it was the fucking portal lab end and still haven't found another one I need a bloody CVD machine one for the quest and I *want* the laser one Goddamnit there's nowhere else I'd rather go now, I have all the books I need, a good car and a petrified eye to open up a strange temple. I've found a couple arcana structures and a slime pit and a fungal tower but I don't have any mutagen books yet because I rushed the bottom of the lab, I'll look more closely today I still need to find an anthill for the egg, the hell spire for the brain and more structures for the books, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna find the spire soon so it's just a matter of ants. In the meantime, I have a modded battle rifle and sniper rifle with a lot of lab-spawned ammo and I even made a kinetic bullet puller with the DIY compendium so I can reload more useful ammo out of junk ammo, but I'd really rather have a UPS-charged laser rifle.
yeahhhh I mean it's sorta a roguelike, it's turnbased, gridbased, randomly generated levels... Just super dressed-up with mouse support, animations, background music, NPC dialogue....the narrator is a suicidal mouthbreather, but I would expect anyone else from rlg to sound about the same
Hudson Perry
CDDA question: is there anyway to dig up concrete without a jackhammer?
Leo Green
When you say "dig up concrete" you mean turn the tile from concrete into dirt? In that case smashing down some walls and bringing the roof down will also turn all the rubble it falls on into dirt tiles when dug with a shovel. If not, not really unless you're planning on using a pickaxe. You're trying to start a little lab plantation, user?
Elijah Nguyen
Neat
Christopher Gomez
I'm camped out at a lab cleaned it out almost entirely went into some towns at night for books now I'm training because my skills are non existant not sure what to do though.
James Lewis
Alright I'm not ready for this guy or whatever it guards
Luke Peterson
And I found a hammer of the hunter, nice. It's basically a more lightweight fire axe that swings slightly faster. I'll probably need to make the meme chinese spear soon.
Jeremiah Thompson
Alright, that worked. Now for the fungaloids.
Levi Wilson
I thought I'd be safe ramming it with my car but I spent half an hour trying to destroy various fungaloids that spawned inside my car as I ran them over. Still, that worked. I've found a hell spire far, far away from here, near a town. That's true-endgame tier because the DOOM monsters are stupidly powerful and can kill me easily and the spider mastermind is deep underground and launches a barrage of rockets when he targets an enemy, not to mention he has enough HP to resist a mininuke. And I added a deadly surprise so that it couldn't easily be cheesed to boot.
Ryan Parker
Man, I really suck at Sil
Ayden Gonzalez
Dwarf Fortress is a fantasy world/story generator. Not a game, I'm sorry. That's straight from the horse's mouth.
Henry Jenkins
I'm TRYING to sleep! Also, I found another lab by roaming through a swamp with my binoculars near the end of a road. I've forgotten what year this is.
Christian Collins
Thanks for the critique.
Hudson Gutierrez
thank you for party rocking
Leo Davis
Managed to find another lab, a medical mutagen book, the regular mutagen book and the serum one. Other lab had an armored zombie in the finale giving me a salvaged power armor which I could turn into a working set of power armor with high skill if I wanted, but I don't even have the CBMs to make it work. Could be useful against the mastermind though, I'll keep an eye around for more power armor stuff.
Debug mode tells me it's been four years. That explains why I find hyper-powerful zombies in random cities nowadays. Exploring different maps really takes a lot of time, plus every time I save my game I get a huge chunk load. It's been a while.
Jackson Cox
I *could* solve the puzzle. Or I could simply drill around it.
Connor Price
>still gotta find the anthill >still gotta find arcana books >STILL gotta clear the spire God please no. I'm bored. Let's just end this real quick.

adventured?

winter start.
Adrian Williams
ah, thought labstart was the epicstyle start of free points and food
Leo Price
You're welcome.
Brandon Cook
Yeah. Winter eternal season is just an optional thing I add to the world. Labstart is the free points.
Grayson Sanchez
Is there percentage drop in DCSS? Let's say sometime i got a plate armor D:1 is there a percentage?
Liam Scott
There are loot tables based on level, yes
Nathan Green
Would you know by any chance where i could actually find these loot tables? Thank you.

I mean I can keep vagueposting about how bad I am at sil, but I gotta take a break to eat
Christian King
>tfw started df last week seems alright. i think my experience with roguelikes and dungeon keeper games carried over so its been pretty easy. largely does just feel like DK with more freedom and a ui comparable to cataclysm in how bad it is
Evan Miller
>Implying you're not using catalog
Jordan Thomas
That's how it worked for Moria, which was back in the 1980s when computers weren't powerful enough to handle a lot of data, and every roguelike was programmed in C so it was too hard to implement a linked list just to handle multiple items on a single tile. Angband is based on Moria, and Sil is based on Angband.
If you're thinking "this sort of meaningless, intentional stagnation is why the roguelike genre is dead" then you'd be partly right.

gonna play some nethack later maybe

Is it actually infected or just a bite wound? Antibiotics only work once it has progressed to infection.
Ethan Walker
I usually just kill all npcs on sight or run away and kill them later for food, but im curious. If you kill and butcher an infected one do you get tainted meat?
Robert Brown
I made that image over a year ago. Nice to see it's still around.
