i accidentally won the game

[Sky]

i was just messing around and nearly died on one of my current characters so i took a break and played a human mage instead - my first human mage, ever.
wound up winning the game? 100% win rate with human mage!
although, i came close. i came reeeeally close. i mean REALLY close.


after reading of .. .someone else .. whose name i dont remember .. 'success with Rift, i started using it for most uniques. Doesnt work so well with Morgoth though, as he (i guess?) has nearly perfect save. Instead i just meleed him and phased + Glyph.

PSA: having 60 Speed is useful.
In my experience speed really caps around 45 (not 35 as stated elsewhere), but if you can, why not?

Also: i found out the MoDs can have a random number of hit dice. Normally they are 5d8 but i've found two that were 6d8.

check out my stat stick (i.e. my bow) with enormous stat bonuses but -6 shooting power; i understand that this artifact was meant to have +6 shooting power, but failed a CURSED roll? which means, +6 shooting power theoretically *is* possible?

(arrows in quiver were there in case i swapped to my actual main bow, otherwise my stat stick had 0 damage)

Congrats on the win.

The difference between +35 speed and +45 speed is going from 40 energy per game turn to 43 energy per game turn. In effect you get turns 7.5% more frequently. The hard cap, where all returns on increasing speed (beyond resilience against being slowed) stop, is at +70 speed, where you get 49 energy per game turn.

[Pete Mack]

Does it heal monsters when you shoot them? You are unlikely to use any ammo with that thing.

comments on my bow?

Seems like a bug to me? I feel like no launcher should go below an x1 multiplier, a.k.a. just throwing the ammo at the enemy. But I don't know much of anything about the item generation rules so I can't speculate about how it happened.

ah, well, we would need @Nick to comment.

i was under the impressiona that all randards follow this process:
1. roll for powers
2. determine power value
3. based on power values of each bonus, roll if CURSED
4. if the cursed roll passes, reverse the bonus value

so, at some point that was a +6 shooting power bow ... if not for that one roll, i could have been shooting at X8.
And you know how much i would have liked that.

Randarts have a chance to get made bad, and have some of their properties reversed; looks like I need to check that their multiplier isn't one of them.

Repeating crossbows, with a high rate of fire but low amount of energy transferred to the fired ammunition, were developed quite early in China. If one was going to model those with Angband's combat system, adding an additional ammunition type would probably be best, but if the standard bolts were used, a shooting power of zero (or modifying the code so shooting powers from 0 to -infinity get mapped to decreasing positive fractions) might be the way to go.

A shooting power of x0 would cause the launcher to deal zero damage, because of how the damage formula works. It's (multiplier) * (missile damage dice + total to-dam bonus). An x1 multiplier is equivalent to throwing the missile at your enemy using the 'v' command, except that you get the bow's damage bonus (and any brand it might have).

A hypothetical launcher that fires really fast with an x1 multiplier isn't that ridiculous, from a game balance perspective at least. Though we'd have to make sure that it can't get Extra Might egos.

Too bad you can't shoot yourself with that bow. It'd be a great source of healing. Congrats on the win.
